my dentist in france has sugested staples for my loose teeth

Q. I live in France, my dentist has suggested that I have what I can only describe as staples put between my loose teeth to stabalise them. Have you heard of this method? She is also talking of building up my 2 front teeth to close the 4mm gap that I have developed over the past 5 years. Again something I have not heard of. Please can you set my mind at rest that this is acceptable treatment as it is far from cheap!!!

A. I think you are talking about splinting your teeth together that have become loose due to gum disease- this is a quite common technique as is bonding white filling material between teeth to close gaps.  Hope that helps.
