Q. Hi Dr Moore,I have had bad breath for a long time now but I do brush and the smell is still there.do you know how I can get rid of this once and for all I also have some green stains on the bottom of my teeth on the inside. how do I get rid of this.
A. It sounds like you need to see a dentist and Hygienist to improve the condition of the gums. The green stains are plaque and bacteria build up that have become established over the years and won’t come off with brushing alone.

Q. Hiya im a 60 yr old lady with very yellow teeth the bottom 4 are root filled so one has gone really dark the other 3 very discoloured i also have a bridge on either side at the top with 2veneers either side can you tell me if laser teeth whitening is going to work on all my other yellow teeth which are straight and neat looking where do i start to get advise from a dentist or a smile clinic cosmetic dentist Thank you
A. It is probable that even with bleaching you are going to need to have some type of restoration such as a veneer or a crown to disguise the discoloured teeth. I would try bleaching first and see what results you get but expect to go down the restorative road.

Q. My 3 year old daughter has suddenly developed a grey line going down her front two top teeth. It looks like someone has drawn on them with a pencil. Is this anything to worry about. Her teeth feel smooth so there are no ridges. Any advice and help much appreciated.
A. very unusual – it may be stain but a proper assessment is required

Q. I am considering having my teeth whitened, but was told a few years back that this would not work for me. As a child I was on a long course of antibiotics for a tonsil infection which was they were subsequently removed. I was long use of antibiotics can cause the teeth to yellow and teeth whitening unfortunately would not help this. They are not terribly yellow and I am not a smoker or heavy coffee or tea drinker, so wanted to know is this true, am I unlikely to see any result at all? thank you!
A. Teeth whitening is the least invasive way to try and change the colour of your teeth, as a result it is certainly worth a try but impossible to guarantee the results

Q. sir, My teeth are totaly yellow and some where a blck cracks on the back jaw. please advice me about this problem thanks,
A. hi
you either have decay or staining in the fissures of the teeth, which may need fillings if it is decay
yellow colour is due to inadequate cleaning or staining
you can try bicarbonate toothpaste or whitening

Q. I have noticed that my teeth are very yellow recently and I would like to know more about teeth whietning. I have heard that some teeth don’t benefit from whitening and I would like to know if there is a way to tell without spending lots of money?
A. Sensitive teeth, heavily filled or crwoned teeth need to be treated differently. Grey shades tend to be slower.

Q. Hello. From an early age, I have had discoloured teeth and I’m at the stage where I’m tired of not being able to smile with confidence like everyone else. I have tried various teeth whitening products such as Crest white strips and even Laser tooth whitening which did bring my teeth up a few shades but not to my satisfaction. I would like to know what you think I should do next? I don’t want to spend more money on products or services that simply don’t work or achieve a decent level of whiteness. I am not looking for Simon Cowell teeth, I just wan’t to get rid of this dull, yellow-coloured look. I was thinking of trying Vineers. (I’m 22 by the way). Do you think Vineers would be the best option? One last question, do you know of a good place I could get that done? I’m not rich but I don’t want to pay for shoddy work either so I’m willing to spend a bit to achieve my goal. Thanks in advance!
A. Hi Veneers are ultimately the most predictable way of improving the colour of the front teeth, however they are expensive starting from £500 per tooth and there will need to be some trimming of the teeth. You could also try professional custom made bleaching trays, we use Enlighten, it works better than laser whitening for most people. Often we use this system first before veneers as it often means placing less veneers.
I’m not sure where you live so I can’t recommend anyone close by, however we are in Essex let me know if I can help enquiry@advancedentalclinic.com or 01245 268 494 Regards Andrew

Q. Hi. I have crooked yellow teeth that are cracking and falling out and every tooth is decayed. I’m 32 years old and never had an attractive smile, and its terribly embarrassing. Id like to know if you feel dentures would be an option for me as implants are too expensive. Thank you.
A. Yes dentures can be a very good option for many people especially as implants are much more expensive. See you dentist for a full quote of all the options available

Q. Hello today I have impressions done to my teeth and you might think I have gone crazy but I notice that my teeth hasa gone more yellow. Is this possible? moreover I have noticed that a bit of my shiny cover (enamel?) is gone from one of my teeth. Is the technique so agressive that this is likely to happen? I am quite frustrated because i did it to get a night guard to stop me grinding in the night and now I don’t know if it was such a good idea… Thanks for comments
A. Very unlikely that the impression could cause this. Often the teeth look different due to minor dehydration, this recovers in a day or 2

Q. Hi Dr,i would like to give my mother-in-law a surprise christmas gift.The top layer of her teeth has worn out and it’s cover now with yellowish color and she also had a gold crown done by in- experienced person. she than took it out and half of her tooth went with it.Is there any chance she can gain her confidence back.I was thinking of lumineers for her.
A. It’s difficult to comment as I haven’t seen the person myself. lumineers are avery thin veneers- and te under-surface colour of the natural teeth can shine through. This maty not ne the best option if you mother-in-law has yellow teeth. Porcelain veneers may be another option. the tooth that was crowned before will need another crown- if there is enough of the tooth left. this will have to be assessed aswell. It may need root filling etc.
Ideally, she would need to have a consultation to discuss her individual needs, but it sounds like a smile makeover will give her back the confidence that she lacks. Good luck.

Q. I am 16 and my teeth are naturally yellow. It’s gotten to the point where I avoid photos and cover my mouth when talking to people because I hate the way my teeth look. I can’t afford professional whitening and I have tried lots of home toothpastes but they all just remove stains. (I always brush my teeth at least twice a day and never drink coffee, smoke etc. so this is not the problem.) Please give me some home remedies as I am desperate, thanks.
A. I don’t htink there is a cheap home remdie. I would try to save up for professional home whitenin g as this gives the best result in the long term,

Q. Hi, I have had crowns, (albeit only temps when i was little) since i was 10 due to an accident were i broke my teeth. I had proper crowns fitted when i was 18 and had them in for 10 years, they fitted nice good colour etc but unfortunatly i snapped one…. so i decided to have them replaced 3 years ago and have them done private (more expensive porceline crowns) Well within a year into having them on,they had moved position and they have gone yellow? they discolour more so i have noticed when i go on the sunbed? My dentist said he has no idea why they have done this and says they shoukdnt, but was unwilling to replace them for free or even at a discount! Its now a further 2 years on and they are terrible and i really need them replacing and all my teeth whitening, but i have lost faith in whom to trust to were go to get them replaced? as i dont have the kind of money to keep paying out for them if this is to happen every few years? Thankyou
A. Hi, I do feel for you. I understand it is alot of money you have paid for- but more-so the frustration that you must be feeling.
I would be happy to see you for a consultation to offer my opinions if you wish. Alternatively, i can possibly recommend a good cosmetic dentist to you.
It sounds as though the underlying tooth colour is shining through the porcelain. As they are getting darker, you will probably want them replacing. It sounds as though the teteh have been root filled. The colour of a root filled tooth can darken over time.
When you hav eyour new crowns made, they can be constructed with a core colour blocker – basically, to block out the underneath tooth. Hope this makes sense.
You need to feel comfotable and confident with the dentist who will be carrying outthe treatment, so choose your dentist wisely. Thanks for your enquiry.

Q. hi i have recently missed an appointment at my nhs dentist due to illness. as this was the second appointment i missed i have been removed from the practise. at my previous visit i had a filling in my front tooth, which was only slightly discoloured and was not painful at all. since havin this done my tooth is extemely sensitive and it hurts when i touch where the filling is. Shall i see if the same dentist can fix it for me at the practise where i cant go or shall i just find another nhs dentist. also i was wondering the best whitening process would be either professionally or from over the counter, my teeth are naturally yellow n this really gets me down. i wont even have my picture taken. can this be done on the nhs???
A. Firstly, whitening will not bee done on the NHS. It is a cosmetic treatment, and the NHS will see it as being unneccessary treatment. Does this make sense?
And secondly, if you have been taken off the books at your previous dentist for failing to attend an appointment, then you need to ideally find another prcatice. From the sounds of it, the tooth may just be hypersenstive orif it is tender to touch, it may well need further treatment such as root canal treatment. I would advise that see a cosmetic dentist for the best aesthetic results on your tooth- otherwise your local dental hospital may be an option?

Q. My daughter’s milkteeth was very white. But new teath are very yellowish. Why is that? What can I do to make her teeth white?
A. Hi
Dont worry as these are just her milk teeth. There is nothing really you can do to make them whiter. All I would recommend is regular examinations with the dentist.
