My daughter’s bridge keeps falling out, what are our options?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hello Doctor, I have a question I hope you can help with.

My daughter had her teeth adjusted by an orthodontist because some of her teeth never came in. The adjustment left a gap in her front teeth that the her dentist filled with a bonded bridge. The bridge has now fallen out 3 times over the past 4 months. Although the dentist has thus far reattached it without charge, I am sure it won’t continue and could not afford to continually have it reattached. Is this normal or should I be looking for another dentist?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hello doctor,

I had a cycling accident several years ago and unfortunately lost 4 of my front teeth at the top. I have currently got a denture in place but wanted to be able to have something more natural looking, I have asked for a bridge as I was advised by the dentist this would be possible, I have recently moved dentists and my current Dentist states that this is not possible because I have for teeth missing, what is your opinion on this matter as a work colleague has a bridge and has his 4 teeth missing at the front also. kind regards and thank you very much for your time

Can you have an implant years after the tooth has been removed?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

How long after the removal of a tooth can I have an implant? Is 20 years too long? At that time, I lost a tooth and had a bridge fitted. However, my back, upper tooth which was supporting the bridge, has broken and had to be removed. I could have it replaced with an implant and then have a new bridge fitted but I would prefer to have the implant where the original tooth was taken out. I would then just have a small gap at the very back of my mouth. My dentist is telling me that
a person can have an implant at any time but the dentist of a relative of mine told him that the implant had to be done within three months of losing the tooth. Which is correct?

Are there any options to replace a Maryland Bridge without metal wings?

Friday, April 15th, 2011
Q.

My daughter is 17 and has a Maryland bridge on her front tooth. Its not the one with the metal wings and its keeps comming off every other week. The oral surgeon said that he wouldnt do an implant because of the nerve that is in the way. The dentist said she needed to try a maryland bridge with the metal wings. He didn’t want to put a fixed bridge in right now. Is it any other options out there?

I have air pockets around my roots and teeth need replacing, can you help?

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011
Q.

Hello,
I am 42 yrs old & have the worst teeth in the world !! !I live in Leeds West Yorkshire
I worked in horse racing when I was younger & had many falls, kicks to the face & horses heads smashing into mine..a number of occasions I know my teeth suffered terribly, I believe the front teeth top & bottom on many occasions were shunted & may have over time made air pockets round the roots. But I have to say that is no excuse. I have since the age of 9/10 yrs had a phobia of brushing !! Its hard to explain, I have tried hypnotherapy but I just can not brush, floss & gargle …. My mouth hygiene is none existant !! I tried for months seeing a hygienist weekly, but I came to the point where I no longer could afford the regular treatment. Plus it was a losing battle…I have 10-12mmm airpockets & all my teeth are very loose I have even lost one now on the bottom front row. I did have lovely teeth & smile when I was younger, my mouth was over crowded & had 4 second teeth removed & 10 baby teeth..the dentist Im afraid was known for his butchery & from that treatment me & teeth …well not a happy ending !! I only wish now I had looked after them so much better ! I have gaps now, receding gums they are just awful & I never smile, I hate my picture being taken & I have no confidence talking to people, especially strangers !! They are not painful, I have a little sensitivity but not to affect me eating or drinking hot or cold foods, but at the dentist blowing cold air or water then it gets me. But saying that I no longer go to the dentist now Im too embarrased at the state of my mouth, plus my phobia also includes dentist’s…Sorry, Please dont take that personal.
Now at the age of 42 yrs its come as the hardest ever decision to make, I must get my teeth sorted,, have a proper dentistry routine looking after….???Well….. What do you think I could do ??
Me & my husband have decided a bank loan will be taken …will I have to have all my teeth removed ? Maybe a chance of implants..?? Prob not, wont have any bone ?? Iam terrified I wont lie.
Can you please help
Kindest Regards

A.
