Q. My husband had a bridge fitted last year (4 front teeth). He does not floss the area between his bridge teeth and gums – saying that his dentist said it was not necessary as the bridge was tightly fitted and there was no “gap”. He now has bad/stale breath and I believe it is to do with him not cleaning his bridge work properly but he won’t be told. I too have a bridge (1 tooth) and my dentist showed me how to floss the “gap” between bridge and gum. So who’s right?
A. I would advise that your husband visits his dental professional for a hygienist appointment. The hygienist will be able to clean the area, as well as advising your husband on how to care for his bridge. It may however, be that this is not the cause of the bad breath. I hope this helps
Many thanks

Q. pls help im very worried, just got back from my nhs dentist my gums have started to pull away from some teeth, my dentist said this is due to my age, but im only 27, in the past i did brush to hard, my biggist mistake, i have booked an apoinment at red sky dental spar this is a cosmetic dentist, could they help me to retore my gums around some teeth that have reseeded thanks
A. hi msny thanks for your enquiry, firstly if your gums have receeded around some teeth this can be caused by a number of factors: hard brushing, grinding teeth, stress, gum disease, poor oral hygiene, hereditary. My advice would be to seek a consultation with a periodontist who is more qualified to discuss your recession and also give you some predictable solutions. Red Sky Dental are a good cosmetic practice however have no speciality in periodontics.

Q. im 17 and the side tooth jus next to my front ones are very sensitive and hurts everytime i drink a cold or hot drink could i get a silver cap over it.
A. hi many thanks for your email, i first think deal with the sensitivity, this may be due to a level of poor oral hygiene, if this is the case starting brushing over the gums as well as teeth, start to use a flouride mouthwash and also replace your toothpaste for a sensitivity version. once this has subsided then of course for cosmetic reasons you could have a silver cap over this tooth.

Q. Which drinks stain teeth the most?
A. Black tea, green tea, red wine and then coffee. Tea without milk is the biggest stainer. Soy sauce can also stain teeth.

Q. my two top front teeth are chipped and i am concerned they will chip even more is it possible to repair them, will i have to go private and hoe much roughly will it cost, as i am having trouble finding an nhs dentist.
A. I recommend you call around to find an NHS dentist in your area taking on new patients or visit www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/
If you decided to go down the private route then after your examination your dentist can inform you on the costs involved in repairing this.

Q. Hi Justin – Over the last 5 weeks, I have had antibiotics and used mouthwash constantly to clear up an abscess. On Monday after hygenist treatment, my mouth has developed a burning, stabbing sensation in the gums and also nerve pains in the face. Although now on medication for Oral Thrush, the dentist does not think this is the case. Her feeling is either allergic reaction to mouthwash, or Burning Mouth Syndrome. What do you think?
A. Im afraid this isnt my fiesld, and without assessing your mouth i could not advise you on what this may be. I advise you g
et a second opinion with another general dentist.
Kind regards

Q. Since moving back to New Zealand 2 years ago I now suffer from dark staining on my teeth.I have not drunk tea or coffee for over 25 years , no red wine either.I do drink cammomile or peppermint tea. I use a good electric tooth brush & brush for over 2 mins twice per day & floss at night, my husband can attest to my oral hygeine standards, I used to nurse in the dental department of my training hospital.I am dairy & gluten free. Could it be something in our water? We have filtered on the fridge but not for the kettle on the main tap? We only used filtered water in the UK . Your advice would be appreciated as my dentist is at aloss to the cause, I see him every six months and the problem is getting worse between visits. With kind regards
A. Hi
Very strange. It is very difficult to give you an answer in thsi case without carrying out an examination. I would recommend you see also a a hugienist to remove the staining and see if this helps.

Q. am only 17 and i hate my teeth i have a gum diease and the front 2 bottom teeth are fake. i really want something done i want to knoe what the best option for me is please help.
A.
You gum disease can be treatment easily by booking in with a Hygienist and having a course of treatment with her and then maintaining your oral health by brushing and flossing twice a day and up keeing you hygiene and dental examinations by attending the dentist once every six month.
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your two bottom teeth i am sure that they can be improved. You did not mention what type of restoration you have on the bottom, but a cosmetic dentist can certainly get things looking great for you.

Q. hi DR.MOORE, i am applying to dentistry this year, could you please give me some top tips, about doing my best in terms of interviews, personal statement, and etc? thankyou
A. The best thing to have in your CV is probably time visiting dentists to gain experience of working in a dentl practice. The first place to ask is your own dentist to see if they would allow you to sit in for a week or 2 with maybe a letter saying how much you enjoyed it etc… obviously the most important factor will be your grades at the end of the day but it will all help. Good luck Andrew

Q. i have suffered from receeding gums for years and have had deep cleaning treatment at sheffield teaching hospital. i m 43 years old. i have nearly always used a sonic toothbrush and for the last 3 years indent brushes and dental floss. when i was about 21 i had the skin that attaches the bottom lip cut because the dentist thought that it may be pulling the gum down. it made no difference. My dad suffered the same and had all his teeth out at 22, and his father before that at a similar age. Is it possible for this to be a hereditary factor.
A. Gum disease has a hereditry component – one of the factors that is involved with gum disease is your own immunity to the bacteria causing gum disease. However if you see a hygienist every 3 months there is a good chance that your gum disease can be controlled
