My son is Two years is there any way that his sliver crown tooth may it be removed and replaced with a white one? If so how long does a white crown last I was told by his dentist it will only last a short period of time like two or three weeks and that he would be able to brake it the same day he got it. Is that true or they just didn’t want to do the work done? I’m not realy a fan of silver crowns .Thank you for you time.

How Long Do White Crowns Last And How Easily Are They Broken On Children?
Monday, January 7th, 2013Is there a way my teeth can be fixed within six months?
Wednesday, December 5th, 2012Hey Dr Moore. I have a few problems with my teeth that need fixing as soon as possible. I have two front canine teeth that are like fangs, they are based more forward and higher up than all my other teeth. I also have crooked teeth on the front at the bottom. To be honest i have never really looked after my teeth and have 5 fillings already. I just wanted to know if there is a way to straighten them mainly the top two and if so can it be done in 6 months? I don’t like the dentist which is why i never go and i know for a fact my teeth need a good sorting out.
I look forward to hearing from you and hearing if this is something that can get sorted or if I have to just deal with my smile putting all my photos of me to shame!
thank you for your time.
regards,
What price would it be to have three silver fillings replaced with tooth coloured fillings?
Monday, December 3rd, 2012Hello there. I need a quote from you if possible. I want three silver fillings replaced with composite tooth coloured fillings as soon as possible. Also I want a metal cap covered with porcelain and a single bridge for one toot that is missing . I know you may ask to come in for a consultation but I have been to several places who have all agreed this is the cosmetic dentistry I need. So just a quote would be great and if it’s suitable i will be happy to come in for a consultation. Regards
Is it right that I have to pay £1000 for a brace that is needed for just one tooth?
Wednesday, September 5th, 2012Hello, I had some holes filled in my front teeth when I was 18 during which my dentist moved my tooth out of place when drilling my tooth was left in a slanted position and has been this way for the past 8 years my teeth no longer fit together and it wobbles slightly it also rubs on my bottom lip when I close my mouth, I have lost all my confidence I have seen many dentists and they say there is space for it to go back in position and I have been told it may cost £1000 + for just the one tooth to be straightened even though it was a dentist that put me in this position in the first place do I need full braces just for one tooth, I am currently unemployed due to my lack of confidence. thanks for your time.
The enamel is wearing at the tops of my teeth, what can I do?
Tuesday, July 19th, 2011 I havefor some time noticed that I am losing enamel from the top of my top teeth near the gum line. This is now becoming more pronounced and of some concern although eeth so far have not discoloured or causing any sensitivity, I am concerned about the long term effect.
I am been advised by a local dentist to have fillings in the top of my teeth although I am concerned about this.
Is this the only option or are there other options. I thought I had read about an enamel replacement treatment.
Many thanks

My dentist is only offering me an amalgam filling, couldn’t I have a white one instead?
Friday, June 24th, 2011 Hello
I recently visited a dentist who has advised me I need an amalgam filling replaced and refilled using the same material, I asked her about white composite fillingsand she reluctantley said she could do it but said it would not be strong enough in my root filled back tooth – I donot agree with her in this asI have done some research and usin amalgam is highly toxic etc. This lady is an NHS dentist will she be properly trained in inserting composite fillings?
She also reluctantly polished 2 of my teeth as she said the others were fine lthough in the £17 paid it does say you are entitled to a tooth polish, afterwards I was not even offered a mouth swill! I have therefore lost my confidence in going back for the appointment for treatment and am in a dilemma as to what to do.
I would appreciate some advice from you please.
Many thanks
I am having pains in my tooth and my throat, what should I do?
Thursday, June 23rd, 2011I had a filling fall out about 6 months ago. There has been no pain. a week ago i bit down on a sandwhich and a piece went insude my tooth causing pain. After a couple days it was feeling better. About three days later late in the evening it started hurting while i was just sitting reading a book. The pain increased to the point i had to go to the ER. I was given Vicadin and Penicilin. Two days later I cannot open my mouth only about 1/2 an inch and it hurts to swallow. the tooth is not really causing me pain. What is going on and how do I make it better?
My dentist has put crowns on my fillings, why is this?
Monday, May 23rd, 2011Hello,
I had a very large deep filling 6 months ago.
My dentist was not sure if it would work as it was so deep and a large amount of tooth missing. It did work and now 6 months on I went for a check up and he has booked me in for a crown fitting.
The dentist provied no explanation for the crown and I was left confused. I am not altogether happy with my dentist, I am never provided with full explanations and all my appointments seems rushed.
I got a second opinion from a dentist friend (they did not actually see me, but we talked over the phone) my friend said a crown is not needed as the filling/tooth is not causing bother to me. I also asked my hygenist who said the crown may not me neccessary.
I am usure what to do? Stay as I am with the filling and see how I go or have a crown fitted?
Get another opinion from a different dentist?
Thanks
