What can i do about my large overbite and large teeth?

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011
Q.

I have a huge overbite and my two front teeth are big. The teeth that follow the two front teeth are slightly under them causing them to come out and look bigger. I only have a problem with those four teeth. What do you recommend I get? And is there any way you could make my two front teeth slighty smaller so they are not so big. I would appreciate your answer. Thanks

I have numerous oral hygiene problems, what do you advise?

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011
Q.

I have been a phobia of brushing my teeth, it goes through me i have got an electric one that too goes through me it makes me wanna cringe.

Im told my dentist this when i had dentist , he told me i was just being stupid. I have this problem for ages. since i had braces on fears back.

Im 28yrs old, my teeth is not perfect ive neglected them they begining to hurt i have filling thats missing. My dentist failed to contact me when i got hold of them its like they never exsited the number changed the place doesnt even exsits no more…

on top right of my jaw my filling fell out of that hole in may i think now every time i try to brush y teeth despite it goes through me the cold water goes right through me this put me off from brushing the
i have swollen gums.

I used Rapid relif toothpaste my teeth begining to wobble am i too late to save them… i used eat lots of sugar too ive cut down a week ago now.

Some old dentisit used to say to me they wobble if ur under alot of stress or if ur worrying about something i not sure if thats true or not..

i had this other fluride gel thing pharmist gave me that put it on at night it helps to prtect ur namel on ur teeth, i dnt have ne namel they turned yellow. the gel helps ur teeth to stop wobbling ive gone blk on the stuff cos i do fear some time soon they may all fall out.

What is the red bump that causes me pain between my teeth?

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011
Q.

I just recently had two fillings. Before the two fillings I went to my dentist for a small, almost indetectible red bump on my gums between my teeth,( one of the teeth with the cavity) it had been hurting on and off. My dentist told me that its nothing and that the cavity in that tooth is so small that it wouldn’t affect the root. After getting the filling, I still have some pain and the red bump, I went in again, they took xrays and said everything is fine. What would be causing pain when I bite down or chew food? Also, why would I have a red bump?

Can I have teeth extracted and replaced with implants instead of root canal?

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011
Q.

I have chronic dental pain in all of my molars (lower and upper) bilaterally. I do have several fillings which will probably need to be replaced and seem to be headed towards root canals in all of these teeth. I also have 2 root canals that are both failing and also very painful so I am reluctant to have more root canal therapy on the other teeth as it seems pointless having them done when they will most likely fail like the other two. I’ve been seen by a professor at a specialist dental hospital and they said my failing root canals would be best replaced by an implant. Is it possible to have most of my molars and two premolars extracted and the teeth replaced with implants instead? How much would this be likely to cost?

Can I have my tooth removed under general anaesthetic in hospital?

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011
Q.

Hi
i have an oversensitive painful tooth due to a large filling hitting the nerve. my dentist (private) has attempted root canal 3 times but is too painful. the last time he used sedation, which did not work at all. he says the nerve wont go numb as it is sensitised, so will hurt for root canal or extraction. i cant bear being in pain any more, can I ask to be referred to my local hosptital for extraction under general anaeshetic as it seem it will never go numb with local and I cant go through with an extraction without numbing. thanks

My teeth were filed down in preparation for a bridge but now the dentist says I can’t have them. What can I do?

Friday, December 17th, 2010
Q.

Good Evening. I have had my front teeth prepared for a fixed bridge. My 3 natural teeth were filed down and temporary bridge cemented on. It looks quite hideous to be honest, but I was prepared to put up with this in the expectation of a decent bridge, but dentist has told me he will do one long bridge over the filed down teeth now, instead of 3 crowns and a bridge fitted to these, as you say is how they are fitted. I am really fed up and want to confront this dentist, but he is a bit of a bully, so i need to be clear on what I can and can’t have. He told me, before the prep work, that my 3 natural teeth were strong enough to fit the bridge. Can you help, or advise, please. Thanks for your time.
