Q.

Hi Dr Sunita, I have quite a long question. I have always had trouble with my teeth from a young age from trama to my front two teeth having fell on to concrete steps to bad eating habits causing rotting and holes and fillings.

Can you have your teeth tattooed?

Thursday, August 18th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Hughes
Can you please tell me if it is possible to have a tattoo on the teeth ,All the information i have read so far seems to imply that a tattoo can only occur on the soft tissue ,ie on the lips ,tongus ,pallete,skin,etc .
I would also like to know the reason why a dentist would do an amalgum filling then cover it with a porcelain crown .
I look forward to your reply
Thankyou for your time and for considering my question.

What is the best way to whiten my teeth; veneers, composite bonding, cleaning or teeth whitening?

Thursday, August 11th, 2011
Q.

I’m only 16, but am desperate to improve the look of my discoloured teeth. I have also chippedmy two front teeth, so have two composite fillings in place. I have never had very white teeth, so have been warned that having my teeth bleached or whitened may result in no change. I’ve been looking into veneers and lumineers, but of course each are expensive and i’ve already had to start saving now. Which method would you recommend for me, that is best quality for money with regards to how long they last, and as least pain as possible.

My tooth has developed two cracks, will I have to have it removed?

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011
Q.

Hi Mark,
One of my back teeth which has had a filling for years has now developed 2 cracks on the inside about 3mm apart. The cracks run vertically from the end of the tooth to 3/4 up the tooth towards the gum line. I can move this piece of tooth if i push it hard with my tongue although it is still held fairly ridgedly in place. If this piece were to fall out looking at the inside of the tooth i would be left iwth 2 pieces of the side wall of the tooth left and right with with a visible filling in the middle. My friend says i will be able to use the tooth like this because if i visited a dentist he would extract it straight away. Would this be the case.

A.
Not necessarily. It really dep… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I suffer from Amelogenisis Imperfecta, are dental implants my best option?

Thursday, July 21st, 2011
Q.

I suffer with amelogenises imperfecta, should I have to pay for dental treatment (if I suffered with my thyroids I would get free prescriptions for the foreseeable future).
I have previously had my teeth capped and obviously they now need doing again, a cost of which I will regularly incur throughout my life (I am now 40), so will be the 3rd time I will need this doing.
Would I be better of going down the root of implants?

The enamel is wearing at the tops of my teeth, what can I do?

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011
Q.

I havefor some time noticed that I am losing enamel from the top of my top teeth near the gum line. This is now becoming more pronounced and of some concern although eeth so far have not discoloured or causing any sensitivity, I am concerned about the long term effect.
I am been advised by a local dentist to have fillings in the top of my teeth although I am concerned about this.
Is this the only option or are there other options. I thought I had read about an enamel replacement treatment.
Many thanks

My dentist is only offering me an amalgam filling, couldn’t I have a white one instead?

Friday, June 24th, 2011
Q.

Hello
I recently visited a dentist who has advised me I need an amalgam filling replaced and refilled using the same material, I asked her about white composite fillingsand she reluctantley said she could do it but said it would not be strong enough in my root filled back tooth – I donot agree with her in this asI have done some research and usin amalgam is highly toxic etc. This lady is an NHS dentist will she be properly trained in inserting composite fillings?
She also reluctantly polished 2 of my teeth as she said the others were fine lthough in the £17 paid it does say you are entitled to a tooth polish, afterwards I was not even offered a mouth swill! I have therefore lost my confidence in going back for the appointment for treatment and am in a dilemma as to what to do.
I would appreciate some advice from you please.
Many thanks
