Q. Hi, our son has special needs (learning difficulties etc). We have seen the community dentist who wants to give him G.A and remove all his teeth that have cavities/ gone bad. We’ re not happy with this- we feel any tooth that can be filled should be!! We’re wondering if there’s a private dentist that would treat our son, and keep as many teeth as poss!! He’s waited 6 months already for an appt to have a bad tooth removed that we know has had an abcess on it!! Please help!!
A. hi many thanks for your email, the issue is how cooperative your son is while having dental treatment and what age he is. other options are sedation for treatment but he does need to be a minimum age of 16. hope this is helpful. i would be happy to assess your son and give you some more options that are available in the private sector.

Q. I had 2 caps done that I wasn’t really sure about the way they did it. That is, they joined the two teeth together, rather than making them individual caps. The first go around they were individual caps but alot of food was getting stuck in between and so they join them…I’m not sure I like that idea…two caps joined together, what do you think?
A. May be a good idea if the height of the underlying teeth is poor or the teeth are mobile

Q. Hi, I have been on the Invisalign for about 15 months and I am on my last aligner. I am not totally happy with my final result and wanted to ask what options I have. Could I ask for more aligners from the dentist i am having treatment and will this cost more? Thanks
A. Thanks for your question, you should return to your dentist or Orthodontist where the next stage would be refinement. This will involve new aligners being made to hopefully acheive the results you have been aiming for. Many Thanks

Q. I had braces for a year, and ive took it off, and started wearin retainers, but my doctor said that i have to wear the retainers for a life now, i want to know is there anything that i can do, because i dont want to wear them for a life?
A. I recommend lifetime reatiners to ensure the teeth don’t move back. You can have a fixed retainer placed behind the front 6 teeth and then only wear your other retainer at night.

Q. heya i am only young being 19 and hate my teeth and smile. i was offered braces when i was younger however i never wanted them i regret this decission now and would like advice on how i can achieve that celebrity smile? i really need your help.
A. Thanks for your questions. There are many teeth straightening products available, with some acheiving results in as little as six weeks and other which are virtually invisible. I would suggest that your first step should be to arrange a consultation appointment, either with an Orthodontist or a cosmetic dental practice which offer teeth straightening. There are many practices who will offer free initial consultations, to allow you to discover your options and the associated prices without any financial commitment. Many of these practices will also have the facility to ofer payment plans such as, interest free credit to help you spread the cost of the treatment. I hope that this will be of assistance bu turge you to contact you again should you require further information.
Many Thanks

Q. i am 29 and have just registered with a dentist after waiting for a few years,im interested in having a brace fitted as im starting to feel very wary of my teeth when i smile,Can it be done on nhs or will i have to go private? And at what cost?
A. Thanks for your questions, NHS Orthodontics treatment to adults is not usually available, however an enquiry to your local Primary Care Trust should be able to confirm this for you. There are many teeth straightening systems available privately, with some treatments taking as little as six weeks to acheive results and others which are virtually invisible. The costs for these treatments will vary between systems and practices, but I can tell you that straightening treatments at my practices start from £999. Many practices now have the facility to offer payment plans, such as interest free credit to help you spread the costs. I hope this helps.

Q. Dr Moore, My wife attended the dentist last month for a routine check-up. The dentist told her that she needed a filling and made another appointment for her to attend for this. later on, after having the filling done, she was havig a lot of pain. She went back to the dentist and he told her that he would have to remove the nerve from this tooth. My wife was still having a lot of pain. within the last week, her mouth & face has swollen causing her extreme pain. She went back to the dentist again and he removed another nerve from a tooth at the front of her mouth. I am very concerned that my wife has been suffering with pain for several weeks now as a result of attending the dentist for a routine check-up. Is this normal?
A. Complications such as these can occur after a filling, however it is important that they are dealt with correctly. Perhaps she should go back and ask him to explain what has happened in her case

Q. As an early teen I had chipped the top, front 6 of my teeth rollerblading. They felt loose for a while and had always bothered me the way they healed. It bothers me how my front teeth are displayed slightly misaligned to my left and with an overbite as well. The Army Dentist insisted on putting veneers over them. That never did anything to fix the misalignment problem of the front two top teeth being aligned under my nose. It seems the injury I must have suffered as a kid made the teeth grow in this way after they healed. I am disappointed and finished with the idea of trying to salvage my smile at this point in my life. I am wondering if you may be able to let me know if there is a possibility that there is a Dentist out there that would extract my front, top 6 teeth or as many as needed to have an average looking smile that is aligned under my nose. Thanks very much
A. if the teeth are healthy you should look into clear positioner orthodontics such as clearstep or invisalign

Q. hello there, i’m 23 years old and i hate my teeth. i have 2 large front teeth and have fangs either side. my bottom teeth are really crooked. can my front teeth be cut down? i don’t really want braces on show. what do you reccommend? roughly how much does it cost? and how long will it take? thank you
A. Although you don’t want a brace it might be your best option in the long-term. You could try a fixed brace such as 6-month smile cost approx £2500 or Invisalign from £3000. These treatments would take around 6-12 months to complete.

Q. At approximately what age should treatment begin to widen the upper jaw of my son? His upper jaw is currently narrower than his lower jaw. May thanks, John
A. This treatment can start earlier than conventional orthodontics but varies according to the loss of teeth and the type of bite problem. You should be guided by your orthodontist for individual circumstances.

Q. Hi, i hate my teeth at the moment. i go to a orthodontics and i wear a retainer to pull my jaw forward but my top two front teeth are big and i really dont like to smile cause i feel embarrsed. can anythink be done about it ? thanks.
A. hi many thanks for your email, the only option if the teeth are too big would be to make them smaller using veneers. this is only an option which may work for you. an assessment appointment would have to be made to ascertain position of teeth and expectations. hope this is helpful.

Please could you tell me if and when I have fillings and a crown put in can I have it done in white because I am on benefit , I don’t like gold tooth even though it is at the back and because I am young. I suffer from epilepsy and am on benifits, does that mean i get free dental treatment?
A. NHS direct can give details specific to your benefits. generally it is for th dentist to provide treatment that works , the cosmetic appearance is not a factor. Rob

Q. Dear Mr Tennet, I used to be a patient of yours at cadbury’s dental practice and thought it may be better to ask you than any of the other doctors. I have two teeth at the front which are a little longer in vertical height than the others… My aim is for them all to be the same vertical length, so ideally I would like them straightened across the board. How much would it cost just for that?
A. to reshape the teeth without fillings or veneers should be less than $100 Call amy for the free intial consultation 01216430610 Rob

Q. Hello Dr., My upper front 2 teeth are little outwards. All others are in good place. These front teeth are more expanded on sides towards the ends than the hold between gums. Now I want to get them adjusted. What are the possibilities? Do I have to wear braces or there is something like grinding the sides to get them adjusted? Thanks for your answers
A. It sounds like braces might be your best optin unless you consider veneers, however veneers entail some trimming of the teeth.
