Q. Hello there, i have just come back from a visit to the dentist i have not gone for a number of years due to being so scared of what they would say and do!! I have come back with an apptionment in December for 2 fillings and to have a chipped toothe capped, he has put a temp cap on it, my main question is that i have slilt Gingivtis, thius has scares the living days out of me as i am only in my 20’s, he tld me to change my mouth wash, and get a soft Toothe Brush and it should get better, what toothe Paste would be the best for this??? And how long should this temp cap last for??? Many thanks
A. The temp cap should last till your next visit but be careful with it. If you have bleeding gums you could try corsodyl mouthwash for a week or so but it can stain the teeth. Ask the dentist if you can see his Hygieinist to give them a good scale before your next visit.

Q. I’m 17 and still in college, I’ve got 2 chipped front teeth due to rough play as a child, also some of my adult teeth are missing according to an x ray they aren’t there so I’m stuck with rather worn down baby teeth. I never smile in photos and my teeth severly effect my confidence. Can I get crowns/vineers on the NHS?
A. You might qualify for NHS treatment but it is cosmetic treatment so I can really say for sure whether you will get your teeth sorted out on the NHS. Go to your NHS dentist and see what they can do for you.

Q. I have a bridge (top six teeth) with a broken/chipped tooth. I have had it repaired several times but the repair keeps breaking off. Basically it is non functional. Is there a way to remove my bridge and replace the chipped one or some other procedure to fix it permanently?

Q. I am about to have a crown replaced. the preparatory work has been done. Initially my dentisit said i could have a porcelain crown ..it is the last but one bottom tooth .. i have had my wisdom teeth removed.When he had prepared it adn i mentione dthe porcelain crown he said he had prepared for a gold crown .. that he CIULD prep for a porcelain but it would invlove more destruction of the tooth and i could have a metal base with a white covering ..to which i agreed ..but having thought about it psoke to him again becasue i wasnt sure about the appearance of this tooth . At which point he said this was the best chioce and that we were lucky to have been able to have a second bit e of the cherry in replacing the crown. He had not mentioned this before. So the new metal base crown is due to be fitted on Monday .I am hoping it will beok ..i spoke to a freind who had some and he was happy wiht his. meanwhile part of a large filling in the back tooth next to it ..the last one .. has chipped .. Would a porcelain onlay or crown be suitable for this tooth in theory??? Last time he repaired a back filling ( large one ) he saaid only amalgam was suitable . I am quite anxious to not have any more mercury in my mouth and i do not like the appearance even on back teeth.
A. You do not have to have aalgam flings if you don’t want to. Granted, amalgam is a strong choice of material- but I agree that it is not the most aesthetic!!! There are strong choices of material available such as lava crowns.
Porcelain bonded to metal crowns can be quite aesthetic- and for a back tooth is quite a good compromise. These type of crowns are not recomended for the anterior teeth (ron teeth) as they can often show the metal underneath and from a cosmetic point of view- this can look quite unnatural.
I hope all goes well.

Q. hello Doc, I am 34 years old and I have a primary tooth between my front tooth and the #2. it protrudes infront the #2, which is still there but twisted behind it. the primary tooth is also shaking slightly. I’ve been to the dentist and i was told i might have to do an extraction. the dentist also gave me this explanation for my top row i hope you can understand. 432112234 the 1s are the two front teeth and they count in both directions as you can see, i have two #2s on the right one of them being the primary tooth… my smile is not one im very proud of so is there any advice you can give me in terms of getting it straightened out? thanks a mil!
A. Its difficult to give you exact ideas without seeing you but one option might be removing the extra tooth and then having them straightened with something like invisalign.

Q. I went to a local dentist and ask about my options for my two front teeth that are SLIGHTLY worn away on the bottom. he said he would do crowns. I said NO. BECAUSE I didn’t want so much of my teeth to be taken away. He said he would do veneers. I left the office devistated because he took my two front teeth down to miniature chicklets. He put on temps that are joined together in the center and are very tough.
I am sick over this.He is charging more for veneers than crowns. He has now choice to me but to do crowns. What can I do. I called the office and left a message to call me immediately on Monday. What is my recourse?
A. Ideally you should have discussed this before any treatment was done, sometimes cosmetic bonding can repair chipped teeth in a minimal way. If the teeth are now prepared veneers are the better option. Please talk to your dentist.

Q. Hi Dr Caplan, My front left tooth has gone very crooked and exposed a large part of the root and is extremely loose, the 3 teeth to the left of that are missing and i wear a bridge which has contributed to the twisting, the next 3 teeth are not in good condition and the gum has receeded. on the right side my front tooth is chipped, the next 2 teeth are slightly longer and the gum is receeding, the molars on the right are not bad but there are just gaps and 1 is missing. would it be better to have most of the teeth pulled and a denture fitted as there are only about 8 teeth on my upper jaw and most are not up to the job. could you give me advice and a rough estimate of cost. I live in North London, not too far from St Albans. Many Thanks
A. Thank you for your questions. Apologise for not getting back sooner but I have been away lecturing. In your situation I have often used a precision retained denture. In America they are called removable bridges because of the accuracy of their fit. There may be other solutions but ti sounds like this may be a likely treatment for your problem. Treatmetn costs vary depending on the type of treatment you desire. Please contact my receptionist to make an appointment for me to assess your specific problems Kind regards Dr Julian Caplan

Q. i have a chipped tooth in the front and i was wondering just because it is chipped will it decay or get worse?
A. If it has chipped because of decay then i will get worse very quickly. If there is no deacy present at the moment get it checked by your dentist as soon as possible.

Q. Hi Dr. Moore. I have two maryland bridges replacing my eye teeth. They were recently replaced as the ones that I’ve had since I was 14 (I’m now 30) were chipped etc. That being said, the new ones keep popping out. My dentist has used numerous types of cement but it keeps happening. As my roots are too close together for impants (I was born without the teeth) are there any other options for me? Thank you
A. If the 1st bridges lasted a long time it might be worth trying new bridges perhaps looking more closely at the bite as this is often the reason the bridges come out.

Q. my two top front teeth are chipped and i am concerned they will chip even more is it possible to repair them, will i have to go private and hoe much roughly will it cost, as i am having trouble finding an nhs dentist.
A. I recommend you call around to find an NHS dentist in your area taking on new patients or visit www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/
If you decided to go down the private route then after your examination your dentist can inform you on the costs involved in repairing this.

Q. hi, 6 to 7 years ago i had veneers privately done on my front 4 top teeth. i was pleased for the 1st year or 2 but over time they now look awful. i had braces for 4 years (not train tracks) when i was in my early teens as i had a large gap in my teeth and they pointed abit forward and made me look goofy, after time with the braces the 2 front teeth eventually crossed over so went from one extreme to another, i then had braces to stop the crossing and push them back, they soon became straight. after not having the braces on for about 2years i decided i wanted dental veneers as one of the front ones was badly discouloured and i thought they were to long! so i went ahead and had venneers as i said above i was happy at first but now the 2 front teeth have crossed again but even worst they point forward making my lip pertrude slightly!! i never imagined this would happen with vaneers but it has done! also i feel they have slightly come away from my gums with the movement and on close inspection you8 can see a gap and the very top of the veneers have a ruff edge and are black! i smoke around 8 day i realise this hasnt help, but they are now crooked, discoloured and come away from my gums, i really dont know what to do!! do you think 4 implants would be a good idea, i know it would vbe pricey and it very cliche of me to say but all i ever wanted was a perfect hollywood smile, i heard about the invisable braces but im not sure this would be right as i would still have to keep the veneers! please help!!! thanks so much in advance.
A.
It is a very difficult for me to advise you without seeing your mouth. However, I can tell you that implants are not the way forward. Please book in with a cosmetic dentist for an acurate opinion. It may be orthodntics you need, or a simple case of changing the veneers.

Q. my 8 year old son has broken his tooth under the gum as a result of a collision playing football. He has visited the dentist who suggested that we just leave it but the tooth is becoming a bit wobbly. What is your advice on this one?
A. If it is a baby tooth its best to let it fall out, if its a permanent tooth it needs looking at ASAP

Q. My question is about my lower teeth, 4 to 5 of them are overcrowded but also some are kind of chipped but do not have a hole in them. Is there a way to get them to line up in every way?
A. You could have the teeth straightened and then have the chipped teeth re built. You need to have a consultation to see what options are available.

A. this might sound like BS but it all depends on the number of teeth that need removing and what is put in their place. I would budget from around £50 per tooth.
