Is sub-standard material used for making dental bridges?

Monday, November 30th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I had a bridge fitted in April.Yesterday I bit a piece of sellotape off the roll and as a result a piece chipped off the bottom of my tooth. My dentist said I need a new bridge, I was told that bridges are only guaranteed for 3 months, I thought that fillings,crowns etc were guaranteed for 12 months. I had a bridge previously for 12 years with no problems (also using my teeth on Sellotape). This makes me wonder if the materials used are sub-standard as I have done nothing extreme to warrant the damage.

In these situations you do nee… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Six months braces is not effective and I cannot afford it to be redone.

Monday, November 30th, 2009
Q.
I had 6 months braces on my teeth about 3 years ago. They were bonded or rather should I say that the top front and bottom front has a wire holding them together so that they would not shift. But the front of my top teeth are moving and shifting. What should I do? My husband just passed away and I really can’t pay for 6 months braces again. Can they use the retainer that I had when the braces were removed ?

A.
Very sorry to hear about you h… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Sugar consumption has ruined my teeth please suggest a treatment.

Monday, November 30th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I am 16 and have been so scared to smile all my life. I have always had issues with my teeth. At the moment my top teeth are all slightly separated (especially my top 2 ones) and my bottom 2 teeth have decayed and are rotting because of drinking soft drinks. They have even gotten to the point where they are starting to chip off. The bottom two ones have black blotches in them and it makes me feel very unconfident with smiling. I have good dental hygiene in the sense that i floss and brush 2 times daily using a soft brush, but i have ruined my teeth with the amount of sugar i have consumed over the years. What dental procedure would you recommend that could possibly fix my issue to have a beautiful smile?

A.
If you have got tooth destruct… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
