Q. My toddler ran at me with a heavy toy and chipped my top front tooth so it’s on the diagonal. I have had a temporary filling from an emergency NHS dentist. ( I’ve never had a filling before so know nothing about the proceedure etc. ) I saw my dentist today and he informs me that he will be able to do a new filling and make it look like a normal tooth. The rest of the tooth is fine. He said I won’t need a veneer, although could have one done later. I am worried the filling won’t be strong enough (my dentist said I would have to be careful biting into apples etc) What should I do. At the moment I’m finding the temporary filling very wierd and uncomfortable. Would a veneer be a better option or should I stick with the filling?
A. I would try a new filling first then see how it goes and how it looks. It is sometimes very difficult to get a great aesthetic result with a single veneer although it would be a bit stronger.

Q. i have got to go under sedation and worried about it, how could i get out of this phobia of being sedated its sounds worrying knowing that ill still be awake during this.
A. Sedation is an excellent and safe technique for nervous patients, although you’re still ‘awake’ you wpn’t be aware of what is going on around you. Perhaps you should ask your dentist for some more advice regarding the procedure.

Q. Hello Dr, For the past couple of months (even in between Dentist visits) I have a feeling on my gums. Its a funny clicky, popping feeling as if air was getting under a layer of my gum and then requires for me to press down to pop it away. I hope I’m explaining myself right. I feel so frustrated since I do a lot of public speaking and I’m so afraid of loosing my teeth. My husband calls me paranoid, but what do you think I’m experiencing. At times the feeling last days. Sometimes its a little painful, mostly uncomfortable but mostly frustrating. One dentist ranked out gum disease. I brush three times a day and after i brush the feeling subsides for a while until I eat, chew gum the noise comes back. I even feel it behind my two front teeth’s upper gum. HELP!
A. It is very difficult to give you a diagnosis without seeing you, if you feel your dentist is not examining your problem please find a good dentist or periodontist (gum specialist) so you can have a full examination. It sounds like the gums may have lost some of their “attachment” to the teeth.

Q. dear dr moore i am hopeing to have some implants but i have a extreme fear of dentists so i have been trying to find one who will give a general anesthesia i have found two clinics which say they do and wene you phone them they talk you out of it and say they wont do it and its there in black and white. so could you help me or do you know of any one. hpoe you dont mind me asking you this.
A. Hello, It will be very dificult to find someone to do this for you but you could try Ashok Sethi in Harley Street as he has access to Hospital services at a nearby medical centre. You could also try sedation which is cheaper safer and more readliy available

Q. I have recently had one of my front teeth break off half way down, and I basically have a mouth full of fillings including a root canal job. My confidence has been knocked so much and I really don’t know what can be done to help me under the NHS? I’m really hoping you can advise me as it’s getting me really down.
A. You can get basic treatment on the NHS although cosmetic treatment may need to be paid separatly for the front tooth.

Q. Doctor, my 26 year old daughter has a couple of wisdom teeth growing out crooked, but there is no problem yet, except slight soreness every few months. My questions are: 1) Would you advise these to be removed at the earliest, or to wait and see if they actually give more trouble? 2) Should all wisdom teeth be removed in any case, whether they give much trouble or not? Thank you for your help.
A. Hi
The current guidelines sugggest that they should only be removed if there are repeated episodes of infection.
I would advise to see a dentist every 6 months for regular check ups. This will also enable the dentist to keep an eye on the situation.

A. I guess if veneers aren’t possible then you might have to try a brace to close the spaces.

Q. Hi After years of neglect ,all my top teeth have badly decayed ,and broken off . Im so embarrassed about this ,and hence cant face a dentist because of the shame that I let my teeth get into this state. Unfortunately I cant afford private ,so will have to go nhs , I would like to know what is available ,as I know I am probably going to have to have them all taken out and have dentures,but I have been told nhs wont cover this? Also ,what would you advise me to tell the dentist before my appointment ,as I want to let him know the state my mouth is in before he actually sees them ,im so depressed about this and really need some help .
A. You will be able to get denture treatment on the NHS. I would be worried about what the dentist might say, thats our job to fix peoples teeth and we are very used to seeing less than perfect mouths!

Q. Dr im 20yrs old n im under treatment from an orthodontist in pakistan since 1yr,i hav upper mildine shift about 1.5mm but it is almost corrected n the dentist says my treatment is almost complete,my upper maxillary right canine was impacted n it was extracted by an inexperienced dentist when i was a child-n that was the cause of the midline shift and lead to class 2 malocclusion on one side and class 3 maloclussion on the other,my problem is that although my midline is correct there is still a space where the canine should hav been i feel that my teeth r gona shift back once the treatment is off,i am being treated with cross elastics in which the 1st runs from my 26 to 33, the 2nd from 23 to 43 and the 3rd from 13 to 46,plz suggest what should be done in this case and whether this treatment would become useless after sometime?,and whether my dentist is doing the right job?as im in 3rd yr of dentistry myself n im very worried about my teeth.thanku
A.
why dont you consider a single wingcantilever maryland bridge to replace the canine and maintain the space or a dental implant once the space has been created by completion of the orthodontics.
you can know how much space is needed by measuring the canine width on the other side and asking the orthodontist to leave appropriate space
