A. It is normal for the canines to do this, my son looks the same! Wait for another 2 years or so and see how they develope as the teeth erupt and the child grows.

Q. Hello. Five years ago, my orthodontist informed me that I am missing both of my adult upper canines. I am currently 20 and, luckily, I am still in possession of my ‘baby-teeth’ but I fear that I may loose them within the next year. I’ve been told that I will need dental implants, and that they’re very expensive. Being a student, I’m already facing a large amount of debt. Is is possible to get this treatment on the NHS? My dentist has informed me that it may be possible to reduce the cost by having dentistry students perform the surgery. How much risk is involved if I choose to go to a teaching hospital, etc?
A. There should be no risk as the treatment could be performed under supervision of the tutor let me know how much you can afford as I run a course where we use patients to teach other dentists my e mail is implants@advancedentalclinic.com

Q. Hello, I’ve had surgery to expose both canines in my palette and a brace to move them forward, however the spaces aren’t large enough for them to move into the correct position. Both caninees sit in place, but behind the natural position. Is it possible to attach a false tooth (or a thick veneer?) to the front of each of the real canines rather than to have a bridge or brace? Or would it be a possibility to shave the sides of each canine and both adjacent teeth on each side to give the canines room to move forward without the removal of any upper molars and use of a brace to create space? Many thanks
A. hi many thanks for your email there is a procedure where you can skim of the tooth tissue on the side of the teeth called IPR which can then create enough space to move the teeth into allignment. my advice is go to see a cosmetic orthodontist and ask his views on what can be achieved. hope this is helpful.

Q. I was born without incisor teeth but the eye teeth grew in where the incisors should be. On the left side there is no gap for an incisor to go and on the right side, the gap is very small. My incisor teeth are right next to my front teeth. How do I get these teeth when there is no room in my mouth? what are my options?
A. You need to have a consultation the options would either be closing the residual spaces or opening the spaces and then adding 2 new teeth.

Q. Hi Dr. Patel, I have a permanent retainer on my mandibular incisors for about 6 months now. Past 2 weeks I am noticing that my left mandibular canine is shifting a bit when my tongue puts slight pressure on it. This canine is the last tooth the retainer is attached to… I am worried about why this canine is not stable as my other teeth, and why is feels so loose. I am definelty not looking forward to letting my canine fall out… Like I said, you can’t see the canine moving, but I can feel it going back and forth… Is this something I should get checked right away? I am a dental hygiene student age 19
A. Go and see your dentist and see if the retainer is still attached to that tooth I think the glue may have debonded from that tooth. Also ask your dentist to check your bite (occlusion) as you may be knocking that tooth.

Q. I’m twelve and I chipped my canine tooth on gum. My first question, I want to know if it will hurt to get it repaired? My second question, is how did I chip my tooth on gum??
A. Generally a little repair will not hurt – you can always have it numbed if it does. I do not know how you managed to chip your tooth on gum unless the gum was very old

Q. Hi, i am a smoker and i have one tooth my front canine which has gum shrinkage has been for a long while, and is now becoming sore and bleeds when i clean my teeth, please could you tell me what it could be.. Many Thanks
A.
This means that the area needs particular attention when brushing and flossing and that you should book in to see a hygienist to help maintain your teeth and gums. This is doubly necessary for a smoker.
Kind regards

Q. Hi there, I’m just wondering about how much it will cost to align one of my canines in my mouth. It is only one tooth, but it sort of sticks out further than the others.
A. Unfortunately you usually need to consider all of the teeth as the cause of your misplaced canine is probably crowding due to a disparity between the width of your teeth and jaw. Also th eupper and lower teeth are intimately linked by the way you bite. As such you will probably need both jaws treated may be with invisalign. In my practice this usually takes less than a year and our fee for this treatment is £3800.

Q. My baby (3.5 mos) is getting his top canine teeth. Ought I be worried or see a pediatric dentist?
A. There is nothing to be worried about at this stage. Let nature take its course and se how the other teeth develop over the next 6 months to a year. If you are still concerned visit your dentist for them to have a look

Q. My Son has just been to see a orthodontisis regarding a small peg tooth where his K9 should be. The specilist advised for him to surgery to the roof of his mouth to allow the K9 to be exposed then tohave 3 years of brace work. I ask if there was any alteranative which was to have the peg tooth removed in a hope that teh k9 will come down. This will also mean to remove 2 other baby tooth to help the k9. Im not sure which way to go I think the frst option is rather extreme just to get the perfect smile. Please advise
A. I would follow the specialists advice. It is probable that the canine is too impacted for it to come done on its own. Although aesthetics are important function is as well. The canine is an extremoely important tooth for your childs future health of the other teeth in their mouth.

Q. When i was 11 i had a brace, it was,to pull my 4 top incisors out as they were not curved, but straight, making my canines look like fangs.This was a removable brace, with an extra piece at night that went round my head.Anyway, it didnt work and nothing else was done, i dont know why. It has bothered me ever since. i am almost 40 now, and i put my hand over my mouth when i laugh and try not to show my teeth. Can anything be done, either to my incisors or canines..ie filing them as they look longer than my insisors, making it look worse. Thank you for your time.
A. veneers can be used to reshape teeth after grinding down. guide price $350-700 per tooth. often the front six teeth are done as group so you may multiply by 6 or 10. Rob

Q. having posted with a question earlier about a visalign brace, ive done a bit of internet searching, i thing reshaping of my canines would be an option, to make my “fangs” less obvious. Can you tell me the cost and if its possible, and do you offer it at you surgery ?
A. we mainly use the clearstep system which we would be happy to discuss with you. there are several other clear positioners available. for an free informal chat call 01216430610 for an appointment Rob

Q. hi my 8 year old son lost a baby tooth 12 months(canine) ago there is still no sign of a new one coming through and the gap between his two front teeth seems to be getting bigger. how long does it take for second teeth to come through? should i be worried?
A. No don’t be worried the permanent canon etooth usually erupts aged 10 but the baby tooth can fall out earlier. The gap will be a good amount of space for the eruption of the final bigger new teeth that come through at the back and push the front teeth together,

Q. Hi I have gum recession and due to a prior orthodontic surgery (in which the roots of my 2 canines were cut off) my canines are loose. I have been told that I should get these removed, have gum grafting and also some bone grafting above the canines then after 6 months get the implants put in (will have a false tooth plate in mean time). My periodontist assures me that with this treatment I should get my smile back and the implants will last as long as a regular tooth. My query is how much would this cost in UK (i am an expat overseas and have been quoted £8000 for the above) but I am from Uk and will be returning shortly I would get alloplastic grafting here but have been told auto is the way to go is this true? Is the 6 months necessary?
A. Your own bone would produce the best results and after all that you have been through it shouldn’t be too much in addition. The six months is generally a good idea for predictability,grafts and implants can be placed simultaneously but it is higher risk because if the graft fails the situation less favourable if a second procedure is required.
Costs for grafting are variable and only accurate after a full case assesment

Q. I am considering cosmetic dentistry to correct some of the problems I see in the mirror. The main problem, and question, is about my upper canine teeth. They both seem irregularly large as well as out of place. The gum line is especially high with these teeth, and they are both a bit crooked. I don’t particularly want to undergo two years of braces like my siblings have. Would veneers correct a problem like this?
A. Veneers could correct this but if the canines are already pushed out of position then the tooth removal necessary for the veneers would need to be aggressive possibly running the risk of root canal
Braces would be the least invasive option but obviously takes the longest time

Q. Hi, I’m 15 years old and still have my top baby canines. Having recently been to the dentist, i was giving an X-ray to locate the adult canines. After looking at the X-ray we discovered that my adult canines are extremely squint and are pointing in the direction of my top front teeth. My dentist is reffering me to the Orthodontist to see what can be done about this. I was just wondering how serious this is, and how they would be planning to fix the problem? Could my dentist have stopped this happening by removing the baby canines before now?
A. The best thing would be to expose the canines and pull them into the arch with a brace, your orthodontit can arrange this

Q. Hi Dr Caplan. I have a protruding canine and the tooth next to it is set back, accentuating it. I’m unsure which treatment is best as I would prefer not to have orthodontics mainly due to cost. What would you recommend?
A. Definitely ortho would be my first choice – and this is likely to be cheaper than the other restorative options

Q. my son is 6 years and 9 months old .his upper canine teeths fell off 8 months ago .still there is no sign of teeth eruption .wondering if anything needs to be done.lower canines fell after upper ones and they erupted completely. he was a thumbsucker .
A. He is still young for his canine teeth to be coming out they normally erupt around the age of 9. If you are concerned ask your dentist to take an x-ray to assess that all the teeth are present and developing normally.
