Hi there Dr Hughes. I need your advice and help. I am 18 years old and have stained yellow teeth. My front tooth was a baby tooth and has been extracted a few months ago and now you can see the tooth in the gum which is taking ages to come down. I was wondering how do I get rid of the yellowish colour on my teeth, I am a NHS patient. Would my dentist be able to whiten them? If so, how much would all of this cost? I hate smiling or even talking it’s just embarrassing. Hope you can help. Thank you for your time.

How Do I Get Rid Of The Yellowish Colour On My Teeth? Would My NHS Dentist Whiten Them?
Monday, June 2nd, 2014Hello Dr Moore. I Would Like Some Expert Advice On How To Straighten My Crooked Teeth.
Thursday, January 16th, 2014Hello Dr Moore. My enquiry is about my top front 6 teeth, which are in desperate need of some form of treatment as they are all crooked and one them is still a baby tooth and I am now 17 years old! The adult tooth that is meant to replace that tooth has grown above it on my gums and I don’t know what to do and what options I can choose. My dentist has done nothing and it has been a while now, it is really affecting me and I would appreciate some expert advice. Thank you and I look forward to your reply.
I’m Thirteen And Can’t Tell If My Lateral Incisor Is Broken Or Not As It’s Loose. What Should I Do?
Tuesday, December 17th, 2013Hey, I’m 13 years old and I don’t really know anything about teeth, but I haven’t lost many baby teeth, probably around 5-10, but my lateral incisor is loose, and I can’t tell if it is broken or not and would like to know if you’ve heard of this before? The tooth is whiter than others, but if I pull it back, its only attached to the back of my gums, but the rest of it, (or the new tooth). If I look at it, where the bottom is, the part that is attached, fits nicely in the hole of the broken part. The tooth is getting looser, but I don’t know if its broke somehow, or if a new ones coming in. Any advice or information on this would really help? Thanks.
My Grandson’s Tooth Was Knocked And Is Going Dark, What Can Be Done?
Tuesday, June 11th, 2013My grandson fell and injured one of his front baby tooth it has gone grey there appears to be no infection he is only three and his teeth were beautiful is there anything that can be put on the tooth to make it white. As it will be a least three or four years before the adult tooth appears. My daughter took him to the dentist and they said the tooth may go black there appears to be no infection on the gum. I hope you can help because I feel really bad just having him with a dark tooth and being able to do nothing about it. Thank you very much.
Can I get a dental implant to replace my tooth?
Wednesday, September 26th, 2012Hey Dr Mark Hughes,
I am 23 years old and have a fang above my left tooth which I’ve had for about 8-9 years. The tooth underneath I believe is still a baby tooth that got jammed and didn’t come out. I haven’t been to the dentist for about 6 years but when I went the last time I refused to get my bottom tooth taken out as I didn’t want to have the gap. I am now looking to put this right but still feel the same way.
I wanted to see if it would be possible to get them both removed and a dental implant put in afterwards? If so would it be a costly procedure?
Thank you very much for your time, it is very kind of you.
John.
My baby tooth is coming loose and there isn’t an adult tooth underneath it.
Monday, July 11th, 2011I was born without a canine adult tooth and my baby one is coming very loose now i’m nineteen. Soon i’ll have to get a replacement, I was wondering how expensive this would be and is there anything that covers not being born without an adult tooth?? My parents think it’ll cost thousands and refuse to pay for it and I cant afford the implant myself. I’ve read abit about bridges too but it says they wouldnt help prevent bone loss. What would be the best thing for me to do?
Can I have an Inman Aligner to straighten both adult and baby-type teeth?
Monday, April 11th, 2011Dear Dr Moore,
I was just wondering if treatments like the Inman Aligner are applicable when you’ve still got baby teeth? I had a small operation a few years ago to remove an adult canine which never came through; consequently I’ve still got the original baby tooth sat in its place. I’m assuming I’d have to have that removed but do you think they would they be able to close the gap or put in a bridge or something?
Thanks in advance.
My daughter knocked her tooth out, is there anything we can do?
Monday, April 4th, 2011I have atwo year old daughter who has just knocked out one of her upper front teeth. we have seen our dentidst who has said that there is nothing that can be done and asdditionally he feels that the adults toothe may not form properly or at all. I therefore have two questions:
1. Is there anything cosmetic we can do until my daughter’s adult teeth form?
2. If her adult teeth do not form then what cosmetic treatments would be available as she grows up ie. would we have to wait until she was a teenager or can we do things every couple of years from 6-12?
My daughter is worried about the dentist, could she be sedated?
Wednesday, March 16th, 2011my daughter had a recent check up and was told that she had a root coming through her gum from a old tooth, it was very visable the dentist asked if we would like it removed or wanted to have a go ourselves, shes 9 years old and i thought he was joking, i asked for it to be removed and waited three weeks for a appointment, my daughter has adhd and can get easly upset and frightened and as soon as she saw the needle she started crying, she was told okay your done with your crocodile tears you can go, i asked whats next they said nothing. I have looked at this root and she has broken some off, it is now going brown and she has already had an infection. I need to know where to go to have it out and can she be put to sleep.thanks
I still have a baby tooth, how could I improve its appearance?
Tuesday, March 8th, 2011Hi,
I still have a baby tooth and would like information on cosmetic procedures available to improve the appearance of this. I don’t like the idea of braces, so would ideally prefer a crown or a cap. Is this possible? Also, the gum area around this tooth is slightly lower than my other teeth, so is this something that you would be able to rectify?
Many Thanks
