Can you tell me why my daughter’s milk tooth isn’t coming through yet?

Friday, March 11th, 2011
Q.

My 7 year old daughter lost both her top front teeth in the same week about 4 months ago,one has grown in almost fully but there is no sign of the other one. This milk tooth was knocked backwards about 12 months prior to it falling out although I immediately put it back into position and it never discoloured I am worried it has caused a problem with her adult tooth. She is also missing a top canine which fell out around the same time. All her milk teeth grew in at the right times and her teeth started falling out at an appropriate age. Is it likely ti still appear

I have bad breath, why?

Thursday, March 10th, 2011
Q.

Hi, i have been suffering with bad breath for about ten years. I recently went to my dentist and he said that my teeth were fine. I then went to my doctor who said to see a dentist. In both cases no tests were carried out. It is a hugely embarrassing problem and my question is where do i go and what do i say to get the help i need? I do not smoke, have impeccable oral hygiene and eat a balanced diet. I have a bad taste in the back of my throat and have tried some of the most popular products for stopping bad breath but to no avail. Thanks

What can I do to replace missing teeth?

Thursday, March 10th, 2011
Q.

Hello. I hope you can offer me some advice. Ten years ago I had a riding accident and my two front teeth were knocked out. Since then I’ve made do with one maryland bridge and one of my original teeth which was replaced and root canal filled. Since then that tooth has fallen out and my maryland kept falling away so I have a denture. It’s horrible and keeps falling out. I cannot afford implants and i do not know what to do. I used to have beautiful teeth and now, every way I turn any kind of solution will cost thousands. I cannot get a local NHS dentist, I’ve been trying for two years and cannot find anyone that will take me on. I need to do something though as last week I lost my teeth in the swimming pool when I took my little boy swimming! Is there anything that could be done that is affordable? I have a 5yr old CCJ on my file so loans are not really an option sadly. Thanks in advance.

How much do braces cost?

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I’m just enquiring because it’s been a long time since I went to the Orthodontist and got told I won’t be able to have braces because I would have to of had too much time off of College. Now the situation is still the same, I have two front teeth which poke out and are unsightly and am very conscious about them and try to talk the least possible because they show and I get uncomfortable with that 🙁
Basically I just wanted to ask how much would it cost for me to be able to have braces now? I am 19 coming up 20 in July and I really feel I’m at the time in life where I want to get my teeth sorted and straight, thanks for any help/advice you can give me,
