How Can My Stained and Sensitive Teeth be Treated?

Wednesday, May 18th, 2016
Q.

Hi, I’ve had really bad acid reflux and the tops of my teeth near the gum looks indented and they are yellow, stained and sensitive.
I’ve gone to my dentist and they have put bonding over a couple, but 4 months on and they seem to be the same as before!
Plus I hate going and it’s effecting me as my teeth look disgusting! I need to know what I can have done and how much roughly it costs?
Regards,

How Can Botched Teeth Whitening Be Corrected?

Friday, February 13th, 2015
Q.

I have just used a Megawhite teeth whitening gel tray at home, and I am not happy with the results. My top teeth appear to now be two tone very white on the top half of my teeth but darker on the bottom which is unsightly and upsetting, Is this a common problem, and is there anything that can be done to correct this, or improve my now two tone teeth? Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I Am An NHS Patient But I Pay Charges For A Scale And Polish. Should I Have To Pay Privately For This Treatment?

Tuesday, August 19th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. My dentist refuses to polish my teeth after a ‘scale and polish’ saying this is cosmetic only. Can I insist he polishes them or can you tell me where I can go to get the stains removed? I am an NHS patient but pay the charges for a check up and scale and polish. He will carry out a scale but will not polish the stains off the front of my teeth.

Is it possible to have this done under the NHS or would I have to go private? Thank you.

My Daughter’s Teeth Are Rotten Through The Medication She Takes. Would The NHS Provide Her With Veneers?

Wednesday, June 25th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. My daughter has been on medication since she was born. The medicine has made her teeth rotten. She is now 14 and hasn’t got any confidence. Would it be possible to get her veneers on the NHS? The medication she is on is sodium picosulphate and movicol in the past she has been on lactulose and various other medicines. It is very embarrassing for her she got no friends because she won’t mix? What other options do we have? Any advice you could provide us with would really be helpful.

I Am Currently Receiving Enlighten Whitening. Should I Be Get Treatment Prior To Using The Dental Whitening Trays?

Thursday, May 22nd, 2014
Q.

Hi there Dr Moore. I am currently receiving the enlighten whitening treatment.
I expected some work before I used the trays, but all my dentist did was show me how much of the product to put in my trays before I fit them at night.
Is this correct?
I have been told I will receive an hours appointment at the end of the 2 week treatment.
Should the teeth not be cleaned properly before hand?
I had a clean 2 weeks before after my check up but the hygienist only scraped my teeth (private clean)
There were some brown marks left on my teeth after the clean, which the dentist said was permanent scarring?(I have scraped some of this off myself)
Many thanks.

My Front Teeth Are Bent And Discoloured And This Makes Me Paranoid. Could You Give Me An Estimate For Veneers?

Wednesday, March 26th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I have just been on your website and I am really interested. I was looking at having a full set of veneers or new teeth done as when I was younger I had a accident and I’m really not happy with them. My front teeth are bent and discoloured and this makes me really paranoid. I just want a new set of nice teeth and I was just wondering if I could have a estimated price as a guide to look for? If you could get back to me ASAP that would be great. If there’s any other type of treatment you think might help me, it would be great if you could give me some info on that also. Thank you for your time.

I’m Due To Get Married. I Would Like A Smile To Be Proud Of. How Much Does A Smile Makeover Cost?

Tuesday, March 25th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark,
I am getting married in September and would like to have a smile I am proud of. I am currently really self-conscious about my teeth, they are crooked due to not being offered a brace as a child and are yellow.
I have a missing tooth at the front of my mouth (upper 10 I believe) which hasn’t fallen out, it just never grew. As well as a slight gap I have fangs. My bottom teeth are crooked from over- crowding.
It’s really getting me down and would like a complete smile makeover. I don’t know what would be best treatment wise or how much I’d realistically be looking to pay? Any information you could provide me with could help. Thanks.

I Have Bad Yellow Teeth But No Registered Dentist. I Don’t Know Where To Start, Can You Help?

Thursday, March 6th, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew. I have bad yellow teeth and I am worried as they are looking really bad, I don’t have a dentist and wanted to know what would be available?
I don’t know where to start now. I have been told they don’t take on anyone who isn’t registered? It’s also very embarrassing to walk into a dentist with teeth like mine. They look like they are about to fade away, which can’t be a good sign.

Please help me!
Thanks.

After I Had My Teeth Sand Blasted, They Feel Rough. Should I Have Them Polished Or Will It Damage The Enamel Further?

Friday, February 14th, 2014
Q.

Hi, Dr Hughes. I hope you can help me. I had my teeth cleaned they used a sandblast to clean them. I did not have much staining but they said it is really good. Since I had it done my teeth feel very rough and not much shine on them any more I went back as my teeth looked very frosted, he polished the two top teeth up which now feel smooth an silky but all the sides of teeth still same feel rough and full of dirt which I never had before. Will I be better getting them polished up or has he damaged the enamel from the sandblast treatment I had done? Please help me with this, it’s really bugging me.

I’m Currently Not Registered With A Dentist And My Teeth Are Starting To Decay. What Should I Do?

Friday, February 7th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark, I’m 17 years old, (nearly 18) and have decay in around 6 of my back teeth which is making it increasingly harder to eat. I haven’t been to the dentist for 2 years and I’m currently not registered with one. Also one of my top front teeth is black in 2 spots at the back which is now coming through the front. Another one of my top front teeth has a black line along the top of it. Finally one of my front teeth has 2 holes either side of it and the tip of it, the hole at the tip is black. I would like to know what you believe I would need to have done with the information I given, if it’s not enough then I apologise. Also I would like to know if it’s likely I could have treatment done while being put to sleep?
