Q.
Hello Komal, not too sure whether you will be able to help me or not; but here goes. My daughter has just turned 4. We have had a problem since here teeth first appeared. Mainly the 4 front top and 4 bottom. At first the dentists thought it was flourosis, so we treated her accordingly, however after extensive hospital tests it proved nothing of the sort. As we were advised to avoid flouride, we now realised she needed it more than ever. Her teeth on the face and cutting edges started to crumble. We were referred to the Orthodontics hospital in Bristol where she had white painted material intially applied, and then over later months almost like a white filling applied to the directly affected areas. The problem is that these filings fall off after a week or so and then her teeth become too painful for her to eat. We have been told that they can keep reapplying these surface fillings, however we were wondering whether there is a more permanent alternative? The last resort is to have the teeth removed with GA but the hospital do not think these teeth are bad enough to merit this. Due to the constant irritation and pain my daughter is in, is there a cosmetic solution that we can apply to these milk teeth? veneers? I can send you some images of the affected teeth if you believe this would help in your appraisal. Many Thanks in advance.
