As A Sufferer Of Periodontal Disease, Do You Know Of Anywhere That Can Provide Treatment At Low Cost?

Monday, October 7th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I have a question to put forward. Do you know if the NHS provides periodontal treatment?

My gums are receding because of this, and my teeth are no longer aligned. My teeth now protrude out of my mouth and I can hardly close them.

I have suffered some bone loss, and I am very desperate find somewhere that can fix my teeth at an affordable amount.

I have also made regular dental check-ups in recent times, but have never been referred to a specialist of any kind.

Where can I obtain treatment at low cost? I really hope you can provide an answer to ease my worries with this matter. Thank you.

I’ve Recently Had A Bridge Cemented, But After A Couple Of Days Now, I Don’t Feel I Can Get Used To It. Is It Too Late?

Thursday, October 3rd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I’ve recently had a bridge made for the front four of my top teeth. I had it permanently cemented in place two days ago and after having a couple of days to look at it and get used to it, I’m really not happy with it. The shape is really not what I wanted and it looks crooked in my mouth. The bridge also feels bulky in my mouth and I feel that my bite is now not correct.
Can I now have it removed and altered, or is it too late?
I’m afraid to call and tell my dentist and that he says nothing can be done now. Please help me with this problem!!! Many thanks.

My Gums Started Bleeding Recently, I Want To Know How Long It Takes Each Stage Of Gum Disease To Take Hold?

Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hello, Dr Moore. About a month ago now, I noticed that my gums began bleeding after brushing. This kept happening for around a week or so. I visited my dentist and he gave me antibiotics. I will see him in four weeks from now.

I have also now started using the recommended mouthwash. My question is how long does it take to go from minor gingivitis to periodontal disease? Approx how long would it take to get to that stage if unchecked?

P.s if you are at periodontitis stage, can this alter your face?

What are the tell tell signs that distinguish each stage? Thank you in advance for your consideration.

I’ve Read That In America They Have Dentistry Schools That Do Free Implants, Is It The Same In The UK?

Friday, September 27th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Andrew, I’m only 32 years old and I have had no teeth (full mouth) for nearly 9 years now and it’s affecting my children, as they are currently being teased at school. I have had numerous sets of dentures but my mouth/gums keep on getting infected. Do you know of any dentistry schools that do the free implants as I’ve been looking at the prices and with me being a single mother on benefits I can’t really afford the prices and it’s really affecting my confidence as I’m looking a lot older than my age and I’ve read that in America they do have dentistry schools that do offer free implants, Is it the same in the UK?

I Want To Know If Implants Are The Sensible Choice After Suffering From Gum Disease?

Tuesday, September 24th, 2013
Q.

Hi, Dr Moore. My problem is that I had quite aggressive gum disease recently but I’m now quite stable. The four front top and bottom teeth were badly affected.

I am wondering whether to extract these and get implants sooner rather than later? They would definitely look better but I don’t know if this is really the sensible choice – what should I consider?

I don’t know whether to seek cosmetic treatment first but think I would be happier with ” new teeth”. I am currently very good with oral hygiene and know I’d look after my implants if I got them fitted. Thank you.

What Kind Of Qualifications Should I Look For In A Dentist Who Can Provide Dental Implants?

Thursday, September 19th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I would like to know how does one choose a dentist for dental implants? What qualifications should he or she have and what should one expect to pay for this type of treatment within the UK. I have all my own teeth but one at the back has just been removed due to canal root treatment five years ago and it has not solved the problem. I am not sure whether to go abroad for the treatment as I do often travel in Europe for my work but I’m not sure about this option as I do not know what kind of qualifications European dentists should have, and what kind of cost I’ll be looking at? Thank you, I hope you can help.

My Teeth Are In A Bad Condition And I’m Diabetic, Please Offer Me Some Advise?

Thursday, September 12th, 2013
Q.

Hello. Basically I’d like to state that my teeth are terrible and it makes me cringe just looking at them. I would say there are only eight good teeth and one of them is a wisdom tooth, it is getting to the point now where I’m struggling to eat proper meals and being diabetic and only twenty-one years old makes it so embarrassing, the fact that I’m even contemplating a dentist makes me want to cry.  I really don’t know what to do any more and it’s even affecting my work life, please any advice would be so useful,
thank you for taking the time to read this.

I’m Interested In Laser Gum Contouring And I’m Also Looking At Getting Veneers To Improve My Smile, Which Would You Suggest?

Wednesday, September 11th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I’m interested in having laser gum contouring for just my front incisors. I am also looking to have some veneers perhaps maybe four(front and lateral incisors) where there are composites at present (which need to be removed).I have just completed my Invisalign treatment and really just want to renew my smile by making my teeth more even in length. I have heard of Emax veneers and wondered why they’ve become more popular. I have also read that these are better than perhaps Lumineers or Davinci veneers. I don’t really understand the difference, could you me understand the difference?

Hi, I Have Very Small Teeth Which Means I Have Gaps Everywhere. I Want To Know Which Treatment Options Are Available To Me?

Tuesday, September 10th, 2013
Q.

Hi, Hello Doctor Moore. My problem is that I have very small adult teeth which means that I have gaps everywhere and my two front teeth seem huge in comparison to the rest. My two front teeth start higher up in the gum and they go past my other teeth. My teeth beside the front ones are also very small and pointy and there are gaps on both sides of them. There is no gap between my front two teeth and it makes me feel like a little kid with two rabbit teeth. I’m 16 and becoming very self conscious about my smile. What options do I have to make me have a normal smile?
All my teeth are straight as well. Thank you for your consideration.

I Need Work On My Overbite So I Can Finally Feel Confident, What Type Of Treatment Do You Suggest?

Monday, September 9th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I really hope you can help me, I have gaps in my upper top teeth and I really want to close them. I need some advice on what to do to get them closed. I really hate my teeth and it’s always knocked my confidence. I also have a slight overbite which I hate, and the gap is fairly big between my top teeth. I would love cosmetic surgery as I feel that I am too old for braces and I want a fast result. I have no confidence when I smile because of the gap between teeth and I really want it closed. It would make me so much happier. My gums are very exposed to so I have a gummy smile. Thank you for your consideration. Please help me!!
