every tooth in my head was fitted with a crown

Monday, September 29th, 2008
Q.
Dear Dr Suri. In 1987/8 every tooth in my head was fitted with a crown because they had all worn down. I have had little trouble with my crowns, apart from the two upper front teeth, One I had to have removed and a plate fitted the other came off about 10 years ago and was refixed and has not been a problem untill 2 months ago. My local Dentist refixed it with a new plastic pin but since then the tooth sticks out about 1.5mm I told the dentist I was not happy with the job but he says i need a new crown. I said if the original tooth and crown were drilled straight and the pin was straight hence the tooth was straight how come the tooth is sticking out at an angle. The Dentist could’nt give me a satisfactory answer but just kept saying I needed a new crown. This I could not accept as I am an engineer and unless the crown was wrongly drilled when getting the old pin out, if a new straight pin is fitted in the original holes the tooth must end up straight. My question is what do you think went wrong and how do I get my straight tooth back? Yours Truly

How do temporaries fit onto your teeth

Monday, September 29th, 2008
Q.
Hi There Dr. Suri, How do temporaries fit onto your teeth, I know that they are probably attached all together and not separate. I am wearing temporaries now but can’t tell if my own teeth has been slotted into a space…sort of like a mouth guard. they do feel that this may be the case as the underneath of the top teeth feels very high and my mouth does not relax totaly when I close it.? I live in London.

A small side tooth has broke

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008
Q.
A small side tooth has broke (the back half)after a root canal filling. My previous dentist said that she could crown it for me but I didn’t want her to crown it because I wasn’t happy with my last crown. She filled it for me. Two years on, the filling has falling out and my new dentist said that I can’t have a crown as there is not much tooth left at the back. She has tried to fill it but it kepts falling out. She says that she doesn’t think my tooth will last long. I have looked up what I could do and the only thing is an implant but they are so expensive and they don’t do them on the NHS. Is there any alternative place I could go. Maybe trainees in a hospital. I live in London. I don’t have very good teeth because when I was 17 years old, I went into hospital for an op and the drugs they gave me rotten lots of my teeth, epecially all my top front teeth. Which have cause me pain ever since. Thanks for your help.

is there a treament for chin and nose that protrude and set back teeth

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008
Q.
Do you know of a treatment for when the front teeth top and bottom are set too far back and from the profile view the chin and nose protrude. I wore a brace when I was 13/14 and think that the teeth were pulled back too far. I have seen a local surgeon who really made me feel uneasy and wouldn’t speak to me privately and since then i’ve been really depressed. At school kids used to goad me about it. I am not confident when I smile and really would like to restore that confidence.

A.
