Are white fillings suitable or recommended for large fillings?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

Hi,
I would like to have my amalgam fillings removed for the newer type ones. I have 3, 1 of them is small one is large in the center of the tooth and one is very large taking up most of the tooth. The two large ones are also maun chewing teeth. Are the newer white fillings strong enough for such a big hole or would I need to have teeth removed?
Also how can I be sure that the dentist I choose removes them in a safe manner?

A.
White fillings are strong and … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Are there any temporary solutions to fixing an old bridge?

Friday, November 19th, 2010
Q.
I have two bridges which are quite old (20 years) and am getting married at the end of December (very last minute). In the past year my gums have receeded and you can see some of the top of the bridge. I am worried about my photographs and I have very little money to have them replaced just now. Is there a less expensive solution which could tied me over until the new year when I could afford to have them replaced?

Is it safe to get my canines slighlty extended?

Friday, July 16th, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr Tennet. I have been into body modification for quit some time, I have many piercings and tattoos, along with some scarification and other mods. I was just wondering if it was possible, and what the long or short term complication would be of extending my canines just a little bit. http://www.edgeoftheworldclothing.com/images/fangssmall2.jpg About that size. I have an overbite that was never seen to as a child, but my canines are still quite close to the bottom ones, and my safety obviously comes before anything. I was wondering if it was a safe procedure, how much some 1 year – 2 year lasting veneers would cost, and whether you think it is a plausible scenario. Thank you for your time.,

My filling is fracturing and tastes weird is it harmless?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi there, Im 27 and having a nightmare with my teeth, I havnt been to the dentist in over 3 years because my husbands salary went up and we are no longer entitled to it free. Anyway, my top middle tooth had previously had a black filling in, and the other day while I was eating a crunchy pizza, I heard a crack and half the filling fell out, the tooth is wobbly at the back half and Im really sore. Every time I swallow, I taste a chemical taste and worried about mercury poisoning (if not, what is the taste?) I have to find a dentist on Monday, and wont even have the time off to get it fixed until next Friday, whats the best thing to do until then, is the chemical taste harmless? half the filling is still there. Thank you This is horrible

My new silver fillings tastes metalic should I be worried?

Friday, December 4th, 2009
Q.
Dear Rob, I have just had a silver filling frmo my local NHS dentist. In fact I’ve had three – I knew about two but it looks to me like I have had a third added onto one of my other teeth. The third filling tastes slightly metalic as I run my tongue over it. My dentist had to reshape the filling in the next tooth – otherwise nothing else of note happened. Do I need to get the metalic taste checked out? Many thanks!!!

It should resolve within a few… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
