I Would Like To Know If You Treat Children For Orthodontics Who Suffer From Osteoporosis?

Friday, August 29th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes. I hope you can help us. I would like to know if you treat children for orthodontics who have been on biphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis?  My daughter is 14 years old and has been on and off treatment for 8 years.  I have had her on waiting lists for up to two years only to then be told that now they won’t treat her, even though her consultant has said the risks are minimal.  Is this something you or any of your colleagues can advise us on? She is desperate to be treated because she also has overcrowding that can be painful at times. Thank you.

I Had A Tooth Snap Off Weeks Ago. When I’ve Finished With The Antibiotics Do I Go To My Dentist Or The Hospital?

Wednesday, May 14th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I had an upper right tooth snap off several weeks ago. It caused me no pain at the time, however in the last few days it has and is causing me serious pain and extreme facial swelling. My GP has prescribed antibiotics but the pain remains regardless. What can I take to try to relieve it? When I have finished the antibiotics do I go to a dentist or hospital? There are still remnants of the tooth in the gum but the pain is awful. I have very little funds and need to know where to turn. Thank you for your reply in advance.

I Have An Abscess But Can’t See My Dentist. Should I Take The Antibiotics He Gave Me?

Monday, April 7th, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. I went to the dentist yesterday because I thought the tooth whitening I was doing had caused me some irritation. The dentist found a small abscess in the front tooth and dressed it. This was a surprise to me as it was not so painful. He gave me antibiotics but said to try not to take them. Should I take them as it is now very painful and is around the nose area again and worse than before. It is worrying me but the dentist is closed over the weekend. I hope you can advise me. Thank you.

I’ve Moved House And Lost My Retainer. Now My Teeth Have Moved. What Will I Have To Do To Get My Smile Back?

Thursday, March 13th, 2014
Q.

Hello,

I want to have a retainer brace fitted as my bottom teeth have moved a lot. I did have a bottom retainer before but have lost it due to moving house. I was wondering how much the whole procedure is and how long would I have to pay? Also how long would I have to come for check-ups and how occasionally as I have to work around my job. It is starting to get me down now as I am in a lot of pain through where the teeth have moved. I just want my smile back!

Since My Root Canal Treatment My Tooth Has Been Sensitive And Causes Pain Spreading To My Ears. Why Is This?

Monday, January 13th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr. Moore, I have undergone root canal treatment 2 months back. Currently my root canalled tooth is highly sensitive even to normal water. For both hot and cold things it is sensitive. It’s causing a pain and spreading to my ears. I am brushing with Sensitive pro-relief for 3 weeks, twice daily, yet no relief from the pain. While having chewing gum I can feel slight pain in the root canalled tooth at a particular spot. From that particular spot only, the pain is getting triggered. Can you suggest why this could be happening? Thank you, I shall look forward to your reply.

My Mother Is In Agony After Her Treatment Abroad, Where Can I Go For Help?

Friday, June 28th, 2013
Q.

Hi Mark,
I wanted to get some advice regarding some work done to my mothers teeth.

Last summer she went abroad and had 3 implants and 6 crowns. Since coming back 4 of the crowns fell out (botched up job) She is in constant agony and is constantly crying because the crowns where not done correctly, her bottom tooth now has began to crack and chip off because the top crowns are not fitted correctly (huge gaps in between)

Going back is not and option and the NHS doesn’t cover corrective surgery (they’ve been no help regarding this). Could you please advice us on where we could go from here.

Desperately need help
Thanks

What is the red bump that causes me pain between my teeth?

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011
Q.

I just recently had two fillings. Before the two fillings I went to my dentist for a small, almost indetectible red bump on my gums between my teeth,( one of the teeth with the cavity) it had been hurting on and off. My dentist told me that its nothing and that the cavity in that tooth is so small that it wouldn’t affect the root. After getting the filling, I still have some pain and the red bump, I went in again, they took xrays and said everything is fine. What would be causing pain when I bite down or chew food? Also, why would I have a red bump?

A.
It might be a small abscess de… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
