Q. I have recently had a bridge fitted under NHS. My canine tooth was crowned and the colour match is awful. I was told that I had agreed the colour was okay, but it was impossible to tell until I saw it in daylight. My dentist has told me I can have the tooth bleached but will have to have this done privately. He also said tooth whitening toothpaste might help. I feel the colour should be corrected under nhs. I would value your opinion.,
