Q. Hi, I have a tooth on the right side of my mouth(3rd from the centre)which is not in line with the rest of my teeth on the top row. My smile looks crooked and this tooth sticks out. Im not sure if I can correct this as I dont know if I need a brace for just one tooth.
A. You can use a brace for one tooth or many, it all depends on the severity of the crowding whether this is the best option for you.

Q. Hi i’ve had crooked teeth for a long time. When i was a teenager my parents couldn’t afford to get me braces, back then i didnt mind the way my teeth were i guess because i was so young i didnt care, but now i do not like smiling because my left front tooth sticks out ( i have an overjet) and its really unattractive. i am 21 years old now and i want to get them fixed but in a way scared because 3 years ago i went to an orthodontist and he told me i need 4 teeth extracted because i have severe crowding, over jet, and an over bite. i was actually hoping i would be a candidate for invislign but i wasnt. so here i am 3 years later and i want to get them fixed so bad. i just do not want to get teeth extracted. Now my question is when that orthodoctist said all that to me 3 years ago. Do you think i can be able to fix my teeth with out getting any teeth pulled out? and i just read about the 6 month smile, do you think i will be a candidate for that?.
A. Some orthodontists favour the approach of expanding the arch rather than extraction. You will need to ring around orthodontists in your area to find out what their views are.

Q. I have over-crowded and crooked teeth (dracula type of teeth). Would invisalign work for me or should I go for cosmetic dentistry? I am also a nervous patient and have a phobia for dentist.
A. If you’re nevous of the dentist Invisalign is a great treatment. Its simple to set up and with only a minor amount of dentistry, great results can be acheived. Have a look at our website: invisalignguide.co.uk

Q. Hi there. I have recently chipped one of my front teeth. I do not wish to get it filed down as my other front tooth is a crown, and this would only make the crown look bigger! Is it possible to have tooth bonding on this front tooth? It is a small thin chip, and only noticable up close. If so does this need to be done privately or can it be carried out on the NHS? thank you for your time
A. hi if this is purely cosmetic which it sounds like it will be a private treatment . if it is a tiny sliver bonding does not always work but is worth a go if it bothers you

Q. Hi, I am 17 and about 4 months go i noticed that my jaw is slightly crooked to the left, As i am a student i cannot pay for private treatment, is it possible for me to get it aligned? Cheers
A. The jaw will settle into the position its is meant to be in. It cannot be re-aligned but the teeth can with braces. See you dentist and ask him/her if you might be eligble for a brace perhaps on the NHS

Q. I fell down from the byke and my big right upper lip is 30% broke. and i feel very small part of my teeth is left in lower lip. because my lip is tight over there. it’s doubtfull as per the x-ray report. how can i ensure, whether tooth part is left or not in my lip. and what king of problems i may face if it remain in the lip.
A. If the x-ray shows that there is no tooth fragment in the lip then it is probably scarring you are feeling which should improve in the next few weeks.

Q. Hi, I had a white restoration on a lower right molar today. After having drilled out the bulk of the old filling, my dentist was using an instrument with some force when the inner side of the tooth broke off (I felt it ‘go’ and it flew up into my line of sight). As a result, he “was not able to contour the tooth the way he would have liked to” and (now the anaesthetic has worn off) the restoration feels quite uncomfortably sensitive on the gumline and the tooth has an unnatural shape that seems to trap food when I eat and which feels weird as well. After the procedure, my dentist said that things hadn’t gone as expected and he’d “used an instrument to check how strong the tooth was and sometimes during this procedure, the tooth breaks”. Having thought about this it seems completely counter-intuitive that someone would risk breaking the structure of the tooth as he stated and I’m sceptical that he told me the truth. Is there such an instrument to test the strength of the tooth? My feeling is that it broke while he was using a ‘pick’ to try to break out some old amalgam filling in the drilled cavity. I like my dentist and he’s done really good work for me in the past, but having parted with £170 for this procedure (on top of the other charges for Hygienist Visit, X-Rays and 10 Point Exam the previous day), I suddenly lack trust in him and I’m wondering if I should spend my money elsewhere in future. I appreciate that any answer you might give is nothing more than an opinion and has no legal meaning or weight, but I’d really appreciate your take on this situation as I’m at a loss as to what I should do. Best regards,
A. go back to him and express your views there is probably a very reasonable explanation for this, it would be a shame to break down the trust you have in this dentist considering the good work he has done for you in the past.

Q. Dear Dr.Safeer Butt DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF MY STUDENT LIFE in SCHOOL I HAD A FALL AND SUSTAINED A FRACTURE RIGHT UPPER CANINE AND LOSS OF VIABILITY OF CENTRAL INCISOR ON UPPER RIGHT TOOTH. INITIALLY THERE WAS NO ANY PROBLEMS. AFTER COMPLETING MY SCHOOLING I HAD STEEPED IN TO THE COLLEGE IT HAD STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS LIKE PAIN AND SWELLING. IT USED TO SUBSIDE WITH ANTIBIOTICS USAGE. AFTER COMPLETING THE SCOOLING STEPPED IN TO THE PG COURSE ALSO IT WAS THE SAME SCENARIO. THEN STARTED EXPERIENCING SEVERE PAIN IN TOOTH. IT WAS SO HAPPENED I CONSULTED THE DENTIST HE HAD SUGGESTED ME THE CHOICE OF RCT AND ALONG WITH THE EXTRACTION OF THE FRACTURED TOOTH CANINE. UNDERWENT THE EXTRACTION. RCT WAS CARRIED OUT. NO PROBLEMS FOR THE LAST 5 TO 7 YRS. GADUALLY THE PAIN RE APPEARED AND STARTED WITH ANTIBIOTICS IN BETWEEN THERE WAS A FACTURE OF CROWN 1 YR AGO AND THE BRIDGE WAS RE CONSTRUCTED. NOW THE PAIN RE APPEARS ONCE IN 6 MONTHS. SUBSIDES WITH ANTIBIOTICS. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT? KINDLY GIVE ME YOUR VALUABLE SUGEESTIONS, OPINIONS AND FURTHER MANAGERIAL LINES. THANKING YOU.
A. you need to isolate the pathology and if the tooth has already been root filled consider the place ment of an implant

Q. Hi Dr Caplan. I’ve just had my braces put in. Three days after having them put in when my teeth were stull tender, sore and not as stable, I fell and hit one of my front tooth on the ground, which resulted in some bleeding seeping out from that gum line. Now four months after, that tooth now clicks when I push it with my tongue, and feels ‘wobbly’ to a degree. It will become stiff again like before, or will I need a procedure to strengthen its stability? Thanks
A. You may have fractured the root of the tooth and unfortunately it may need to be removed. Please see you dentist for an Xray and vitatlity tests to assess this

Q. Hi dr.Glaister, My 12 years old son has a cracked tooth, will it heal by itself or does it needed to be repaired?
A. I would recommend taking your son to a dentist for an examination, a cracked tooth is a bit vague – your dentist will be able to look at the extent of the damage and determine if any treatment is needed

Q. Hi yesterday I walked under a sign and stood up too quickly bashing my head on the metal pole and biting hard on my teeth. My lower teeth look like they have some fine lines (the left bottom has a 45 degree line at the top and the right line around the top down and up) and I seem to have a dull pain – I am terrified I have cracked them – all the dentists are away on holiday for 3 weeks – I am supposed to start my holiday but am beside myself
A. You need to find an emergency dentist to take a look for you, it might not be as bad as it feels.

Q. I have lost the filling from a large molar tooth at the very back of my mouth. In the process I have split/cracked the root of apreviously root filled tooth. I expected a crown but my dentist feels extraction is the only option. What do you think? I am concerned as most of my mouth has had extensive work and I feel that extraction is the beginning of the end!!
A. Cracked teeth are very difficult to assess even after a clinical exam. I agree that it is good to save teeth where possible but your dentist opinion seems to be that the tooth may not be predictable once treated. If in doubt consider a second opinion Rob

Q. hello, i got an infection on my right lower molar i belive because the molar is cracked to the root. now ive been to the emergancy room and they just prescibed me antibiotics and pain medication, i spoke with many dentists and they tell me they can not do anything untill the swelling goes down. now the swelling looks like i have a 4″ jawbreaker in my cheek. should i just have the molar removed. should i see the dentist now or wait untill the infection is gone. i dont want to pay if all the dentist is going to say is wait untill the infection goes away?
A. The reason that the dentist is telling you to let the swelling go down, is because it is very difficult to become fully aneasthetised when an infection is present to have a tooth extracted. You would be in excrutiating pain otherwise. Trust the dentist and wait for the swelling to go down. The infection won’t go away, but the symptoms will ease temporarily. Hope this helps.

Q. well this is just embarrassing.. okay so a couple years ago i got hit in the face and my tooth kind of cracked. but it wasn’t as bad so i never bothered to get it fixed. it was tiny. barely noticeable. then throughout the years i’ve been going through some hardships. my parents divorced. my father died. i was pressured into a life of drugs. which ruined my teeth even more. stupidly, i smoked pills. literally. and did it for about a year. i smoked ciggarettes and marijuana for a couple years straight. i stopped long ago. but now my front two teeth are cracked down the middle and really black. and decayed and it is moving because now there are tiny holes forming in my other front teeth slowly, day by day. i have no insurance and i am a full time student paying for my own classes. i suffer severe tooth pains everyday. i cant sleep or eat. this has been going on for about two years now. help me please?
A. extensive rebuilds are likely to involve crowns or dentures. in both cases it is likely that an immediate course of treatment will be followed by further treatment in 6/12 months. nhs fees per course of treatment is $198 if you pay. details of automatic free treatment or the form AG1 to claim free treatment on low income can be found at NHS direct. congratulations on turning your life around All the best Rob

Q. i have two problems with my teeth. they are uneven slightly all around but there are one or two moulers at the back of which im always having problems with mainly with fillings id like to know what to do to make them stronger as one keeps cracking and the other the filling coming out, i already have a porceline veneer and that keeps cracking or falling out too, i do take care of my teeth, i brush twice daily, use mouthwash and floss regulary, but these problems keep arising.
A. I think you need a full assessment to look at your back teeth first which may need root canal treatments and crowns to protect them, then you could look at orthodontics such as damon braces, invisalign or 6 month smiles to straighten the teeth. It is also important to make sure your gums are healthy.

Q. Hello, I had braces 3 years ago, and i still wear the retainer a few nights a week, I recently had an accident and have a hairline fracture/crack in my front tooth. It is difficult to see, you can only see it in certain light, I am worried that if i wear my retainer it will put pressure on the crack and cause it to get worse, it is a vertical crack going from the top to the bottom. It isn’t sore and my dentist had a great deal of trouble finding it. I have been to the dentist and was told not to worry, but I am not sure about wearing my retainer. I haven’t worn it for a little while because of this, and a few of my teeth have moved a little, I don’t really know what to do! Any advice would be appreciated.
A. Start wearing the retainer again, it won’t cause any damage to a superficial enamel crack. If you start ASAP the teeth may move back to their original position in a week or so.
