If A Trainee Gives Me Orthodontic Treatment Will I receive It At A Reduced Cost?

Thursday, July 18th, 2013
Q.

Hello, Please could you tell me the best way for the 6mm gap between my front teeth to be closed? Its really started to affect my confidence and very rarely want to smile,I am 45 years old, wore a metal brace as a teenager which successfully worked, but then never wore a retainer. I read that being seen by a student/trainee, costs for treatment are reduced. Or would this kind of treatment have to be carried out in a training hospital? I would appreciate some professional advice, I’m desperate to receive some treatment but don’t earn a lot of money so that’s why I’m trying to opt for a cheaper form. Unless you can recommend some sort of financial scheme I can get a hold of? As I said, I would love some advice. So, thank you for your time.

Am I Suffering From Bruxism? Or Gum Disease?

Tuesday, July 16th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes. Unfortunately my gums are pretty sensitive and bleed pretty easy just by pushing on my teeth with my tounge, could that be from bruxism or is there some kind of gum disease? I suffer from panic disorder could that be an issue also? Iv never had gum problems before. Brush everyday so I know they should be pretty close to healthy. Just wanna make your its nothing to serious would flossing help? My teeth are not sensitive to hot or cold. I have no decaying teeth and they’re pretty healthy. I’m desperately looking for some help! Thank you so much.

Are Veneers Good At Hiding White Spots?

Tuesday, July 16th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Moore! I just got aceppted to NYU and I want to have a great smile for college. My two top front teeth aren’t very straight, however the rest of my teeth are. (But all if my teeth have white spots) … I know braces would take a long time to straighten my front teeth. Are veeners a good route to go with on my two front teeth and then luminers to fix the discoloration on the rest? I really want to have a great smile before I go to college. I have always taken care of my teeth (brushing, flossing, etc). However, due to my younger brother being diagnosed with cancer my single mother never had the extra money to afford braces and such. So I want to try and get them fixed now, well before I go to college anyway. I’m hoping you can provide me with some advice? Thanks!

I’m Not Sure What My Dentist Suggested Is Right For Me, What Do You Think?

Tuesday, July 16th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I wondered if you could advise me with something? My front four teeth need new cosmetic work done, I have three posts and crowns and one crown, all in the front. The problem is for years they have been put in singular and the posts always come loose. My dentist is suggesting redoing and this time connected either all 4, or 2 each depending on root. What is the benefits and is this the best answer? I should say I also have a cross bite. Another dentist suggested invisalign, but I am 45 and really my teeth arent crooked except there for the cross bite teeth, 2 of them. one on the bottom and top. Also will I be ok without being able to floss connected teeth? Thanks for your help.

I’m Fed Up Of My Removable Denture, How Can I Replace My Missing Teeth?

Monday, July 15th, 2013
Q.

I am 41 yrs old,non;smoker,general good health.MY teeth are fine but owing to 15 yr gap in visits to dentist I (According to X -ray image)I now have advanced gum disease which will not respond to treatment,at least at a non specialist level,specialist treatment for me would be prohibitively expensive.consequently the rear molar on either side of the lower jaw has been removed-according to my dentist this now leaves my bottom teeth in a stable state,however 2 front teeth on the upper jaw have also been removed
and the 3 behind the right canine
also have infection beneath them and thus are scheduled for removal in near future.I already have a small denture for the missing front 2 teeth which slides into place without clips but this has to be removed in order to eat any but the softest foods.If all these teeth are removed is any infection
likely to be contained?can you suggest appropriate methods to replace missing teeth which might
be more secure than those I currently use?

It sounds like implants will b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
