Sorry for the email but I made this email when I was a kid. Anyways this is my question I’m 15 years old and my 2 front teeth recentely started chipping for no apprent reason, I drink water,milk and I eat hardly any junkfood. I think I grind my teeth at night maybe that’s why they’re breaking? Any suggestions on how to stop the 2 front teeth from chipping?,

Q.
Hi I have had a front single bridge crown since 2001 but unfortunately I must have ground my teeth whilst sleeping last night and the tooth became detached it is in perfect condition and so is the what appears to be metal filling material that bonded it to the next tooth. My obvious question can I have this refitted? My dentist did advise when she first fitted this that you never quite get the same strength on subsequent bonds? Thank You,

Hello I grind my teeth a lot in my sleep and sometimes during the day when I am nervous or stressed. My dentist gave me a hard retainer which did not work. He then gave me a softer one which I chewed through. I now sleep with the hard one in and the soft one on top of that, and it helps but not completely. I am now starting to chew through them both. I have a lot of headaches, mainly tension ones, and I often wake up with tension in my neck and shoulders. I have also started to notice that my teeth have become much more sensitive and I am worrying that I am slowly grinding my teeth away and exposing nerves! I was wondering if I do (fingers crossed I don’t), would I be able to get veneers? Also would i get them free or would I pay? And if I did would they be made of something strong enough to put up with my grinding? Thanks!

Q.
Hiya im 16 nearly 17 years old and i woke up this morning and one of my top teeth hurt when i toached it with my tounge or closed my mouth and put my teeth together. It also hurt when ate food or swished water round my mouth. Later on i realised it wasnt just one of my tteth but the whole left upper side of my teeth from the back to the canines. I brush my teeth twice a day but i have not been using mouthwash for about a month. I wear a retainer brace at night and have been doing so for about 2-3 years. The pain is a sort of tingling pain when i touch the teeth with tounge or teeth or swish water round my mouth or eat. I have used mouth wash but it hasnt seemed to help. I’m really scared i might lose my teeth, please can you tell me what i could do at home to help?

Q.
I have a dental implant on my front tooth. the porcelain tooth has broken twice, once biting on an apple and lastly biting on a provita cracker. the metal part of the implant did not move and x-rays show it’s still totally inplace (I had bone graft taken from hip 1 year prior to implant placement) My question is could it be due to poor quality porcelain? what else can cause it to break in half widthwise twice? should I avoid biting on any hardish food in future? I do not grind my teeth at night. There is no stress pressure apparent from biting down against lower teeth. It’s a bit of a mistery to my dentist too!

Q.
I suffer from severe teeth grinding and i also have bad gum disease although i am only 34 and have never had a filling. i went away travelling and have not seen a dentist for over 5 years. i would like to know if i am treatable and what my options are for a smile makeover as my teeth are now yellowing, there is some movement and the gums are tender sometimes, I have started to become very self conscious and upset about it. Can veneers be fitted if someone has gum disease, what costs am i looking at or do you think i need false teeth?
