X-rays revealed i have enamel decay between all my upper teeth, how long will remineralisation treatment take?
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011 Hello
I’ve always really looked after my teeth, eating no sweet things, and brushing after everything I ate for my whole life. But I was a bit slack on flossing because the floss always broke and it was annoying! And I was drinking loads of pure orange.
I was horrified to find out on changing dentists that xrays revealed slight enamel decay between just about ALL my teeth in my upper jaw, probably from the pure orange and lack of flossing. Thankfully I have the chance to remineralise these areas and hopefully all will be ok.
But how long does remineralisation and arresting caries take?
In my case I’m brushing 4 times a day, alternating a kind/gentle enamel care toothpaste with a fluoride one, as well as flossing with Duraphat 5000 on the floss twice a day.
I’ve been doing this for two months now.
Will the decay have arrested by now?
Will this decay have totally disappeared off the xray next time, so I know I’ve eliminated the decay?
I’ve moved now so I’m not going back to the dentist that spotted this.
Will it be obvious to a new dentist that the decay has healed, or will the arrested decay just be sitting there on the xray, with it not showing whether it’s live or arrested?
Thanks!

Will invisalign push my teeth forward to straighten them?
Tuesday, January 4th, 2011My teeth are ok and have no gaps although they are slightly pushed backwards. Not highly noticeable although i would be much happier with a straighter set of teeth. I was just wondering if a Invisalign would push them forward for a more straighter fuller smile?
my teeth have suffered as a result of bulimia, can you recommend a dentist in london?
Tuesday, January 4th, 2011 hi Dr,
Iv been bulimic for 10 years and even though I have managed to reduce the episodes a lot, my teeth have suffered. I have been to the dentist 3 times this year about my concern. (Red, swollen and burning gums, recession, constant dry mouth etc) and have been given very little guidance or options. Is there a dentist you could recommend in london that could help me sort this out, im getting a bit desperate.
