Q. pls help im very worried, just got back from my nhs dentist my gums have started to pull away from some teeth, my dentist said this is due to my age, but im only 27, in the past i did brush to hard, my biggist mistake, i have booked an apoinment at red sky dental spar this is a cosmetic dentist, could they help me to retore my gums around some teeth that have reseeded thanks
A. hi msny thanks for your enquiry, firstly if your gums have receeded around some teeth this can be caused by a number of factors: hard brushing, grinding teeth, stress, gum disease, poor oral hygiene, hereditary. My advice would be to seek a consultation with a periodontist who is more qualified to discuss your recession and also give you some predictable solutions. Red Sky Dental are a good cosmetic practice however have no speciality in periodontics.

Q. I recently visited my dentist who told me i had alot of gum shrinkage. I am now finding this quite worrying as she didnt tell me the cause or more importantly if there was anything i could do to prevent it. Would appreciate ur advice. many thanks
A. hi, there are many reasons for what i think you have which is periodontal disease(gum disease),
1:smoking is the biggest causing factor
2:poor oral hygiene
3:times of high stress
4:genetic.
hope this is helpful.

Q. I have a crown that has totally come away from the gum including the post. i was told I had an abcess but that has proved to be incorrect. I was also told I have piro disease, I am unsure as to whether or not this is true. My dentist is suggesting a denture but I believe my teeth are healthy enough to sustain bridging work. What should I do?
A. hi many thanks for your email, if you are unsure what is being said is true, then my advice would be to have a consultation with another dentist to gain a second opinion. hope this is helpful.

Q. need help not confirmed but know i have gum diesease front teeth crooked and one loose,can i get all removed and dentures fitted.if so how long from removal can they be fitted and roughly how much.please help.live in north lincs
A. hi many thanks for your email, if the teeth are of poor prognosis then yes this could be an option. the cost of the extractions will vary but could be as much as £1000 per arch, the dentist would make you a set of immediate dentures to begin with these are dentures placed on the day of the extractions and are worn for approximately 3-6 months while the healing takes place. the cost of these dentures per one is around £500 – £1000. once all the healing has taken place the final set of dentures dependant on quality can range from £1000 to £4000 for a set. hope this is helpful.

Q. I had a root canal about 5 years ago, earlier this year I developed an infection in the gum above this tooth. Xrays show that the end of a metal tool was left in the gum. Is it possible that my dentist was not aware of this, as I think it unlikely. She never told me about it and I have been told that I must have the tooth extracted due to the infection. This dentist also broke off a drill bit under my sisters tooth, who had to go to the dental hospital to fix it so this is by no means a one off. Is this a regular thing that happens? Is there anyway, seeing as part of one of her tools would be missing, she would have not known about this to inform me. Another dentist has told me that I can take it further, is there a ‘offcom’ for dentists? And as I now face a large bill to sort this how would I go about trying to make a claim of she was at fault.
A. I would go back tothe original dentist to see if you can come to some arrangement regarding paying for the new treatment. You may need to take a copy of the x-ray to show the dentist what is going on. This is usually the easiest way to sort out a dispute regarding treatment.

Q. im 17 and the side tooth jus next to my front ones are very sensitive and hurts everytime i drink a cold or hot drink could i get a silver cap over it.
A. hi many thanks for your email, i first think deal with the sensitivity, this may be due to a level of poor oral hygiene, if this is the case starting brushing over the gums as well as teeth, start to use a flouride mouthwash and also replace your toothpaste for a sensitivity version. once this has subsided then of course for cosmetic reasons you could have a silver cap over this tooth.

Q. HELLO DR PATEL. I HAD A ROOT CANAL ON A LARGE UPPER MOLAR. IT HAS NOW STOPED HURTING. I CAN EAT PAIN FREE ON IT, TOUCH IT PAIN FREE, TAP IT PAIN FREE. HOWEVER IT FEEL WEIRD LIKE THERE A SMALL AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IN IT . MY FRONT TEETH HAVE STARTED TO ACHE SINCE THE ROOT CANAL. MY JAW ALSO ACHES NEAR MY EARS. I HAVE HAD THE BITE ADJUSTED AND ITS PERFECT. COULD THIS BE SINUS? KIND REGDS.
A. If there was infection it could take a while to settle it sounds like the symptoms are reducing so I would wait until everything is pain free. It could be a sinus infection or the fact that the bite was too proud. Leave everything for at least 10 days unless symptoms get worse.

Q. Dear Dr Caplan I am in my 50’s and would like to have my lower teeth straightened. I do have some gum recession. Would the recession prohibit me receiving this treatment and would the treatment be more likely to cause my teeth to loosen?
A. Your bone support would
need to be assesed using Xrays. If you have enough support to your roots orthodontics should be fine

Q. I have had Perodontal surgery on my upper and lower gums due to Gum disease. I have been doing great for 4 yrs now. Would it be a problem for me to have the 6 month smile system to close the gaps in the front of my teeth? I have even teeth, I just always had a small gaps between my teeth, it just got worst with due to gum disease.
A. You need to be careful because your bone support to your teeth may be compromised. Movement of the teeth may cause the support to these teeth to be damaged. Pleas consult an orthodontist before commencing with treatment

Q. My daughter is 19 and has 2 pre-molar (baby teeth) still in place. There are no second teeth to replace them. Her own dentist suggests extracting these 2 teeth as she says they are growing into the gum. Do they need to be extracted or do you think they should stay. If they have to go what will she get to replace the wide gaps. thanks
A. hi many thanks for your email, the problem is if there remain in the mouth there will continue to grow into the gum and be functionally unless, the alternative is to remove the teeth and replace the gap with fixed teeth via dental implants which should hopefully last a very long time.

Q. Hi Iam intersted in sorting out my high lip line that shows off too much gum tissue when I smile. I notice you already have an article on this matter, but I owuld like to know if there is a clinic that proforms this out side london, such as Leeds, Manchester or Sheffield. I look forward to your reply Regards
A. hi ,
i am unaware of an clinics in the north that perform lip repositioning surgery. i relatively inexpensive way to achieve this without surgery is botox to lower the gummy smile. this is not permanant but will give you a fantastic result for a fraction of the cost with no surgery.

Q. I currently have temporary veneers on. I have had them on four weeks as I needed some gum work completing. They have become very damaged and a couple have dropped off. Is this common or is it likely grinding my teeth may be causing this?
A. Temporary veneers are very problematic, made wo
rse by tooth grinding. I would pop back to your dentist to see if they can do anything to hold them on more permanently.

Q. I had cosmetic dentistry done many years ago, which included replacing my middle four front teeth (top) with crowns. One was knocked loose and subsquently I have had it removed as it was apparently so small that there was nothing for crown to hold on to. I am now using a temp denture, however a couple of things I would appreciate your advice on: 1) is there any alternative to temp denture, only I find it very painful after a while, and it looks very ugly with a thick pink plastic rim around the tooth, that does not match my gum and looks very prominent. 2) I have been diagnosed with gum disease around these crowns, and am desperately trying to work on this, but is teh denture now causing irritation to gums, as they not getting any better (p.s. gum disease appears to be around teh crowns only) I am very depressed about this situation and would give anything to be able to smile again, Many Thanks
A. Hi
Thanks for your message, you mention that you are desperately trying to work on the gum disease. Forgive me if you are already doing any of the things I suggest, but I would recommend that you attend your dentist for their advise on your gum disease. Following on from this, as well as advsie on how you can try to improve things yourself, I would recommend that you attend regular appointments with your dental hygienist.
There are other options available instead of your temporary denture, firstly there is the option of having a permanent denture made. When you have a permanent denture made, it will take 4 – 5 weeks, and the end result should be a vast improvement in both appearance and comfort from the temporary one. If this is not something you wish to consider then you may be interested in a bridge. This would involve preparing the teeth on either side and fitting a bridge ( this would have attachments for the teeth either side and a false tooth for the gap) and fitting the brdige to them. Finally you would have the option of an implant. This would not involve any preperation on your other teeth, as the implant is placed into your bone, and after a healing period, a crown that then be placed.
I hope that the above information will be of assistance to you, but encourage you to contact me again should you require any further advise.
Kindest Regards

Q. Hi, I’ve had a molar tooth removed recently after it fractured from eating food. I took some photos with my camera to see if it was healing well and i noticed that at the base of the cavity it looked quite dark, almost silvery like my other fillings. Is it normal to be this colour?, could the dentist have just left the lower part of my tooth etc in my jaw? Can i send the photo to get your judgement? Thanks
