Do Mercury fillings have a adverse effect on multiple sclerosis sufferers ?

Thursday, May 5th, 2011
Q.

Hello I have suffered with multiple sclerosis for some years now . I recently read an article saying that mercury can have adverse effects because I suffer with M.S.
How true is this? I have a real dental phobia and finding out this has made me worried.

I have just had a deep metal filling
should I be concerned or not because last time I had the metal filling removed and replaced with a white filling that’s why I am worried cause as i suffer already with MS i am scared this will make my MS worse. Is there any alternative fillings i can have that are completely safe or would i have to pay extra for non mercury fillings. 
Regards

Can veneers be used to cover exposed root caused by gum recession?

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr Andrew Moore. I am sending across a question over for your attention. I hope you have the time to answer it for me: My original teeth are already quite large and long, and I have redeeing gums and exposed roots in nearly all the upper front teeth. I also have quite a gummy smile so it shows every time I smile. My question is: Once receeding gums cause has been stopped and treated, can veneers be placed to cover also the exposed root? If so, and to avoid the veneered teeth looking too long, can the original tooth be shortened prior to veneer? Thanks and I hope you have a nice day!

Can you give me your opinion on the Carlson Bridge “Winged Pontic” procedure?

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. Can you please advise on my situation. Do you know about or do the Carlson Bridge “Winged Pontic” procedure? I have a broken front tooth and it will be extracted. They want to do an inplant or cut my vital teeth to pegs, which I don’t care to have either done. In Hawaii I’ve heard of the Carlson Bridge “Winged Pontic” porcedure. In your opinion could you tell me if you think this would be a good alternative? I have gone to their web site at www.carlsonbiologicaldentistry.com to have a proper look. I have also youtubed carlson bridge and googled that too for more information.
Good information but I would like to know what you think?

Thank you for your time.

Would you say it is best to get implants or have teeth shaving done?

Thursday, April 21st, 2011
Q.

Hello.
I have had a metal bridge since i was 15 years old and i recently visited my dentist in order to replace this. The bridge is of my upper three front teeth and is supported by a metal pin on the right hand side and a shaven tooth on the far left. when my dentist began to take the old bridge out the pin came away with it due to an abscess and the fact that the root had rotted away. An xray was performed before hand, however the dentist presumed the area around the pin was in fact shadowing. They now say that i have two options the first being implants at a cost of £2200, do you feel this is reasonable? The second being shaving down more teeth leaving me with six false teeth as they say the bridge can not support itself with just the two teeth. I am only 27 and i original lost my two front teeth due to an accident that was not my fault. £2200 is a lot of money when you are looking to save for a house and a wedding. So i guess i just wanted to know what your advice would be and if you had a couple of quotes for both the implants and the bridge. Thank you for taking time to read my email and i look forward to hearing back from you.

Are there any options to replace a Maryland Bridge without metal wings?

Friday, April 15th, 2011
Q.

My daughter is 17 and has a Maryland bridge on her front tooth. Its not the one with the metal wings and its keeps comming off every other week. The oral surgeon said that he wouldnt do an implant because of the nerve that is in the way. The dentist said she needed to try a maryland bridge with the metal wings. He didn’t want to put a fixed bridge in right now. Is it any other options out there?
