Q.

Dear Dr Hughes,
I have recently moved and changed dentist. My previous (NHS) dentist gave white fillings if I needed them, so I assumed this was the norm. My new (NHS) dentist has given me a silver filling which I am unhappy with, especially as the main advantage of silver seems to be cost and the practice has expensive looking tvs in all waiting and treatment rooms.

Q.

I have always had a fear of going to the dentist and am a nervous patient unfortunately I have been “unlucky” with my teeth and have several fillings and crowns and I am only 27! I am concerned that my teeth will continue to get worse and I will loose all my teeth, I am unsure why I have worse teeth than everyone else I know and if there is anything I can do other than brush and floss to improve the health of them? I am very self conscious of my smile as I have silver fillings which look black and overcrowding at the font, what procedures would you suggest to give me a better smile?

Q.
From the age of 8yrs old i had a bad fall and ended up with a front left denture,which knocked my confidence alot,when i turned 16yrs old i had a horse rideing accident which resulted in me receiveing another 5 dentures from my front right tooth along my right side of my mouth…when i had had my first baby i breast fed which caused me to have a calcium drop,which in turn ended up with nearly all my bottom teeth filled with silver filllings.Im sorry to go on a bit,but would like to know if i could have my fillings change to a white colour and my front teeth without dentures? This is causeing me to become and feel depressed as i cant be myself anymore through feeling really ashamed,its that bad for me i cant bring myself to go see a dentist.thankyou,

I have a lot of silver fillings and have been advised that replacing these with white fillings would not be the way forward as these are not as strong. The reason I would prefer white is purely for the cosmetic appearance. My question is – Is there a paint that is suitable that will cover the silver fillings to give the white finish and if so who would I approach ?,
