I Brush, Floss And Use Mouthwash Regularly But My Remaining Teeth Are Coming Loose. What Can I Do?

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore. I worry a lot over my teeth. I brush, floss and use mouthwash regularly. I have a denture on the top and I’ve a partial denture on the bottom set but some of the teeth that are left, I seem to be losing. I also have black gums at the top of bridge on the gums. I’m looking into giving up smoking but have started to cut down. What can I do? I’m scared the teeth I have will fall out. My bottom denture is fine on its my own but the two teeth in the middle that are becoming loose. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you.

My Dentist Said I Need To See A Hygienist For Two Years Now I’ve Given Up Smoking. Will It Really Take That Long?

Tuesday, June 10th, 2014
Q.

Hello. I have very protruding front teeth and one missing to the side of them since my last bridge fell out. I need to have work done, does the gum health affect whether I can have work done or not? I have been to 2 dentists for a check up and one said I have fairly healthy gums and teeth but they would need for me to see the gum specialist for up to 2 years and I will need to stop smoking which I have done. I have become increasingly depressed after this news. I look forward to seeing your advice. Thank you.

I Fractured My Teeth When I Was Young And Now The Cracks Are Opening. Could You Offer Me Advice On How To Sort Them Out?

Wednesday, May 7th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes. When I was a child I was involved in an accident and got run over by a lorry as I hit the ground I landed on my chin braking my jaw both sides and cracking a lot of my teeth. As I was only young and it was hair-line fractures through my teeth I was told there was nothing they could do. But now as an adult and after losing a few teeth all the cracks are opening and it’s only going to get worse. I was a heavy smoker and coffee drinker but I have given them up. Please could you offer some advice as to how I go about sorting them out.

Q.

Hello Andrew. My husband broke his front tooth and wants to repair it, can you give me a rough estimate of what it would cost to fix this please? This happened recently. He put the broken bit back in, but has lost that part now. He is 65 years old. Can he get this fixed or repaired?

I Have Badly Decayed Front Teeth And Would Like To What It Would Cost To Fix This?

Thursday, February 20th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I’m looking for some general cosmetic dentistry costs? I have badly decayed teeth. My front teeth are decayed due to rural unpurified water. I am also a smoker for going on 13 years. I might need implants but I also want to consult a dentist before I undergo treatment. Please assist me in estimating the required fee. I also suggested to go for teeth whitening but I’m afraid because of the expensive treatment procedures. Any help you can offer me will be greatly received.

Monday, January 27th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I have got a false tooth glued to my natural tooth and now this is falling out so I will loose 2 teeth right at the front on the top row. What options do would I have to fix this. I do not want a pallet, I have one sturdy tooth left at the side of the one that which is coming out and the other side is bridged.

Q.

Hello Dr Hughes, I hope you can help me as I fear I have a dead front tooth as it is slightly discoloured and feels numb. Also my teeth are going see-through at the bottom.

Wednesday, October 9th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I currently have brown stains on the front of my teeth that are ingrained on the lines where my fillings have been put in and from smoking and drinking tea/coffee, is there a way to remove them?

They are horizontal brownish lines and on four of my teeth every time I smile I can see them. If there is a way to fix them how much would it cost and what solutions could there be?
