Q.

Hello, I have a gap in my two top front teeth, the rest of my teeth are in line and healthy, as I have had braces before. But after the braces came out they put in a permanent wire behind the two top teeth to stop the gap re appearing, but it still came back. So i was wondering would there be a cosmetic solution that would just make that disappear? like make it look like its just my teeth?
thank you for any advice you could give me, also if you could say how much something like that might cost?

Q.
I have a pretty complicated issue with one of my front tooths (I believe 11) which has gone through root cancal a long time ago. It started hurting 5 months ago and when I went to the dentist to have it checked, I was told that I have to do an apicoectomy since he and another dentist could not find the canal. The entire canal has been sealed with a composite / filling exactly the same color as my tooth. He tried to drill half way but I started feeling some pain. He said he doesn’t want to take the risk since he might puncture the canal wall. Any suggestions as to what would be my best recourse? I was hoping surgery to be the last option. Thank u.,

Q.
I have some composite on my teeth to smooth out chipped edges. Can I use a tooth whitening pen on my enamel and composite? Will it be safe and effective? I was told I could not use laser whitening because composite cant be whitened and I would end up with 2-coloured teeth. There is a pen which claim to have no peroxide.Could I use that one or another with peroxide?,

Q.
Hi, I had braces when i was in high school. they were on for 18 months i think. the top ones were removed first and slowly i started noticing an overlap on my front teeth. In 2008 i had the overlapped tooth filed a little so it wouldn’t look so out of place. have a few questions: (1) will the filing down of my tooth affect the end result should i wish to have my overlap straightened? (2) what would be the most cost effective yet permanent solution which is not obvious? (3) I have fixed retainers on the back of my bottom front teeth (from high school days), are they meant to be there for life?,

Q.
i am getting my teeth whitening via the moulds that are made for my mouth and the whitening provided by the dentist. i was wondering if any fillings will also whiten?,

Q.
I have recently chipped my tooth in a fall, the front top right tooth. I have a very expensive quote for 2 front veneers approx 3K! Is this appropriate as it doesnt seems that bad, wouldn’t composite suffice? The reason for the front 2 veneers was the teeth were overlapping before, the overlapped tooth is brokent the other looks fine.. wouldnt composite suffice? Thanks,

Q.
On February 27, 2010 I went to my dentist and have 5 composite fillings done on my right side three on top two on the bottom. He said I had one that was deeper than he thought and he put some lime stuff to reduce sensitivity, and on and off I have had sensitivity to mostly cold. Here in the past couple of days I have needed advil to help with the pain. He said I was no where near needing any root canals (as those are a huge fear for me, Im scared of mouth pain) I have to take valium to get fillings done. When he did the other side I had the same thing, but I only had three fillings, after time passed, it went away. Could this be because I had so many fillings done at once, or could there be something else causing this, Im the biggest chicken there is when it comes to the dentist. What should I do? Please help, Im freaking out here. Mary Wells,
