Q. Hello, my dentist done a cap on my tooth a year ago, but it was the wrong size, it has recently started to smell and cause me some discomfort. When he put the cap in the dentist filed the tooth below, is this good practice? Also he didn’t remove the nerve in the remaing part of the tooth, sould he have? I have now been informed by my dentist that it needs to be replaced (me footing the bill!). I am about to book my appointment, and am concerned about the dentists experience, he said that he will cut the cap, that’s already on my tooth, into four, for removal. Does this sound right, because I am very concerned about the remaining part of tooth underneath. Thank you
A. It’s best to cut the crown into pieces before removing it as this protects the tooth underneath You would normally only reomve the nerve if the tooth causes pain or an infection is present

Q. I went to my dentist (NHS)for the second time re. my wisdom tooth. I was given antibiotics and she drained some of the infection. I asked to be referred to a specialist for extracion. This takes up to 6 months. I hate taking antibiotics and would rather have the tooth out asap. Can this process happen quicker i.e through private practice? What is the wait for an operation when going private and where could i go? I don’t understand why she seems reluctant to refer me and get it treated properly. I live in London. Best Wishes
A. bupa & nuffield type hospitals will have associated specialist oral surgeons who will provide a quote for your treatment. Rob

Q. hello! I really want a silver tooth, and was curious on how its done, cost and if i dont like it can i have it removed? Thanks for you time!
A. hi many thanks for your email a silver tooth is usually placed over your existing tooth but so not to look too bulky the tooth inquestion is prepared down a little to accomodate room, therefore if you did not like it you would then probably have to replace it with a porcelain veneer. the cost of a silver tooth varies from £600 – £1000 dependant on where you go for the treatment.

Q. Good day, i have a 7 yr old daughter, she once had non-hogkins limphoma, and when she was operated her front lower and upper teeth were removed together with the gums which bring out teeth. i want to know whwther she can get implants or not, i once visited one dentist who said she can only can implants at the age of 16, but now she keeps asking me that “when are my teeth going to grow”. i stay in zimbabwe in harare. i’d appreciate your help. concerned dad
A. You need to wait until she has finished growing approx 16 onwards, she can wear an appliance to fill the gap until she gets older. It will be worth waiting for.

Q. Hi i recently extract a tooth,now i have this empty space, the dentist said that he can do it in 6 months.is it true or is it possible for you to do it before and how much will that cost? regards
A. It is best to leave the area to heal for at least 12 weeks unless you are going to have an implant in which case it is best to have implant placed 3-4 weeks after the extraction.

Q. Hi, my jaws are unaligned, the lower jaw sits further back than the top. My front teeth therefore protrude and give the buck tooth look, sticking out. The top jaw gums also show too much. generaly my teeth are healthy and well not crooked. Is there anything that can be done to help, that isnt major surgery etc. The option when I was at school meant major surgery and braces.
A. You could have barces to just tidy up the teeth, however if the only option was surgery in the past it is likely that this is still the best long-term option. Ask for an opinion from an experienced Orthodontist to find out all your options.

Q. My dentist just applied bonding to the back of my front teeth. They feel thinner and now I am worried they will break easily. Also, I worry as to how long the bonding will last. If the bonding wears off, what do you do then. I dont want caps. I dont know why he chose to do this procedure. My teeth are pretty and white. Maybe because I am 59 yrs old and perhaps he thought this would help preserve them. Is this a mistake of my life? Am I headed toward more espensive procedures?
A. This is difficult to answer as there can be many reasons for bonding teeth. If you are concerned please contact your dentist to voice your concerns

Q. All of my teeth crumbled at the top except about 4 during chemotherapy. Now my immune system is compromised. I know that I may need a lot of work, but I am afraid. I am a breast cancer survivor of inflammatory breast cancer. My prognosis is 60 percent chance of reoccurance. What would be your recommendation. I had 1 year of chemotherapy, radiation and a year of herceptin treatment. I have hpb, atrial fibs and rhuemotoid arthritis. Thank you
A. Minimally invasive dentistry utilizing bonding techniques to reduce the amount of tooth removal is advisable. It is essential that none of the dentistry provided increase the chances of gum disease and you would be well advised to use a daily fluoride mouthwash and regularly see your hygienist.

Q. Hi there. I am 23 and one of my front teeth has been pushed forward over the years so it now sticks out. I am very self conscious about it and it affects my confidence. I’m just wondering what the best option for me is?
A. It sounds like a brace might work well. I use an Inman Aligner for mild crowding it works quickly and gives good results. Try to find a dentist close to you who can provide this treatment for you.

Q. Hi there i have a question for you i have a impacted wisdom tooth its my lower right side my dentist told me i could take it out whenever i want and its not a big deal, well my question is can that wisdom tooth cause my second molar to start raising up and make a couple of my bottom teeth crooked? because that is happening but like i said he said it wasnt a big deal!? can you please help me? thanks
A. Hi
It is very unlikely for the wisdom tooth to cause the crowding, but an examination would be required.
If you are getting repeated infections or it is causing damge to you adjacent tooth then it may require removal. Your dentist would discuss all your options.
