My tooth hurts when I bite down. How can I prevent it?
Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010My teeth are severely damaged after a car accident. Should I wait to get braces until my bite is sorted? Are braces suitable for traumatised teeth?
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010Q.
Dear Dr. Verma, I was recently hit by a car and sustained various injuries, including on my front teeth. One of the front teeth has moved inwards and has a crease on the surface. My dentist cannot ascertain whether it is just a crease in the enamel or a deeper one. From the x-rays taken, it does not appear that the two front teeth affected are dead, but I have been told by my dentist that the one that has been hit the most may well fall in the future. To make matters worse, because the front teeth have moved, I am unable to bite properly. I have done a lot of research online and am aware there are various ways to straighten my teeth, including Damon braces, Inman aligners, invisalign etc. Is it advisable to use braces/aligners on traumatised teeth? Is there a period of time I should wait before I can do so? Would you recommend that I have a root canal and a crown at the first instance to get my bite sorted? Is there a way I can strengthen the enamel of my front teeth, i.e. enamel coating etc? What would you advise is the best course of action? Many thanks for your time and help.,

Would crown be the best option to replace veneer that keeps falling off?
Friday, September 24th, 2010Q.
I have two veneers on my front teeth. One has fallen off 3 times in the last six months and I have been informed that I will need a crown next time this happens. Can you tell me if this is the right advice and also why is the veneer falling off? The other one is ok and has only come off once in 5 years. Thanks,
