My top front teeth have tooth erosion caused by fizzy drinks

Thursday, December 4th, 2008
Q.
Hi, My top front teeth have tooth erosion caused by fizzy drinks. They don’t look to bad at the moment, but you can notice if you look closly. My enamal is coming off the tops of my teeth and the bottoms look a little see-through. I am rather concerned about this and was wondering what the cost and procedure would be, without having to get porcelan veneers as i do not have the money for that.

Hi I have a huge concern with my teeth

Monday, December 1st, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have a huge concern with my teeth. I have recently been confirmed as having enamel hypoplasia. Can you tell me anything about the etioliogy and pathology of this condition??? The destruction to my teeth is universal and quite serious. I am only 27 years old and this is a major problem for my self-esteem. I have seen a dentist specialising in oral diseases and aeasthetic surgical procedures and he sees my only option as having crowns put on all my 28 teeth (Yes! the damage is chronic!) I am just seeking a second (objective!) opinion based on this diagnosis and advice for treatment. Oh, and would the NHS provide this treatment? (Im assuming not). And another compounding issue is that I am a (struggling) student, financially independent from my parents. Speaking hypothetically, how much would this operation cost in the UK (with 3 root canal treatments also)?? Are the new ‘Procera-zirconium’ crowns the best on the market, and which crowns have the greatest resilience and longevity?? Thankyou.

thinning tooth enamel

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008
Q.
Hello Riten I was wondering if you would be able to advise the best treatment for thinning tooth enamel My top jaw front incisors have thinned a lot – to the extent where they are practically opaque from the middle. I am very concerned about them, and have tried toothpaste such as proenamel and enamel protect etc, to slow down the process. I have done a little research into the condition, and am under the impression there is not much that can be done to rebuild tooth enamel. I would be very interested in hearing of any treatments – cosmetic or otherwise I would also like to have my teeth whitened – can you please advise the best procedure for long lasting results Kind Regards
