My son’s tooth has grayed, how can this be corrected?

Monday, November 22nd, 2010
Q.

My 17 year old son got his braces off in May and one tooth has turned gray. He wore the braces for 2 years and orthodontist said the tooth may have been traumatized by the braces. We’ve had the tooth tested and it’s not dead, but it’s top 2nd from center and my son has finally admitted that he’s self conscious about it and would like to have it fixed. Our regular dentist has indicated that there is no good way to make the tooth look right. What do you suggest?

Is it possible to have a procedure corrected free of charge if it was not the agreed treatment?

Friday, November 19th, 2010
Q.
I’ve recently (3 days ago) had porcelain veneers on my front two teeth as the bottoms were chipped and the fillings kept breaking off. The dentist fitted porc. veneers as a solution, but filled the gap I didn’t want filled and the teeth are shorter than originally, and now I have a speech impediment as I can’t pronounce the letter F without sounding like Daffy Duck. What are my rights in being able to have these changed at no fee?,

My routine x-ray at dentist showed an infection in my molar teeth but the dentist said there’s nothing to worry about. Is this true?

Friday, November 12th, 2010
Q.
I have just been for a routine check up and on xray of a suspect tooth found that I have cronic infection of 3 of my molar teeth which had been root treated about 10 years ago all at the same time. Two were filled and one was crowned. I have had no systems from these teeth since they have been root treated. My dentist has told me that as there are no systems not to worry about it and leave the teeth alone. I am quite concerned about what i have been told. I am right to just leave them or should they really be re-root treated. I would be grateful for your comment,

Would laser whitening treatment on my sensitive teeth help to make them whiter?

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi – I completed a 2 week professional home whitening kit approx 4 years ago (provided by my dentist) since then I have had a few “overnight” top up treatments. I am finding that my teeth appear to be no longer as white as before. However, the last time I used the home gel (10%) I experinced a lot of sensitivity afterwards. Might an instant laser whitening treatment at the dentist be a better option perhaps> Many thanks. ,
