What’s Wrong With My Bridge?

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2015
Q.

Hi. I have a 3 piece bridge on the upper right side. The gum smells awful and my other half complains of the smell. My regular dentist said it looks fine. A water/air floss helps for 1-2 hours. There has been lots of bleeding but it has stopped since using Corsodyl in water floss. Also, I get sort of a suction effect where my cheek can be pulled into the bridge area with a sucking motion. I’m not sure exactly which part. Do you have any thoughts or treatment suggestions? Was a bridge a bad idea? That’s what I’m thinking now. Kind regards.

How Much Would It Cost To Straighten Just Two Teeth?

Thursday, July 18th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes. I was hoping that you could give me a little bit of advice. The bottom part of my teeth are fairly straight but straight as it should be and the top part of my mouth 1 tooth is too far back and the other and too in front neither are not in line with the rest of my tooth and because of this I hate smiling and I am always conscience when I have to smile or someone seeing me smile. How much would it cost to get both bottom and top part of my teeth to be straight in line with each other and also for them to be cleaned? Thanks for your help.

How can I get rid of black triangles between my teeth?

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012
Q.

Dear Mark,
I have black triangles between my teeth where the gum papilla should be. My teeth have gone slightly crooked since I had braces as a teen because I lost my retainer a few years back. I was wondering, I know it’s specific to each case, but is it possible to get rid of black triangles by interproximal reduction and braces? The triangles are relatively small and my teeth are quite rounded, if they were contoured via IPR to make them squarer I think it could possibly close the triangles – however, I’m scared of taking the risk and worsening the problem
Thanks for your time 🙂

I have a pain in the gum where a tooth was extracted, what action should I take?

Thursday, January 27th, 2011
Q.

i had my left eyetooth taken out after an accident about 6 mths ago..all has gone well until i felt a slight pain a few days ago. after a closer look, i was shocked to find i have a small rip/hole in my gum just above where the tooth would’ve been. im not in a medicel benefit fund atm and am really afraid there could be bad news waiting for me if i see a doctor. have you heard of this problem before? will it go away on its own? is there a reason for me to be so afraid? or is this a normal thing that will just need a bit of antibiotics?
