Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
Dear dr Glaister , I`m really hoping you can help me. I recently had my teeth removed ,and dentures fitted (straight away).I`m petrified of dentists ,and they were made aware of this…hence i was supposed to get both local injections ,and councious sedative?

Would be possible to just get a cap or venner on just that one tooth

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
I really only have one tooth that i have a problem with, whenever i smile, it would appear my teeth were crooked but its only because i have a chipped and slightly crooked front tooth. the chip isnt very big, but it is noticablee by far. and the crookedness might not look so severe if the chip werent there. So what i was wondering is, instead of getting braces, because there no where near in my budget, if it would be possible to just get a cap or venner on just that one tooth. Out of my two front teeth, its the one on the rightt, and its crooked towards the left, witch is where the chip is, on the left corner on my tooth.

A.
If the chip is as small as you… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Ive a chronic snoring problem is oral maxillo facial surgery the only option?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
I have a chronic snoring problem and a sleep consultant is referring me to an oral maxillo facial surgeon as I have a receding chin and a large overbite. He feels that these factors are causing my snoring problem and sleeplessness(I do not have sleep apnea}. At 53 is surgery the only option, if so what would that involve? Also, could this problem be causing breathing problems when I exercise? I am a keen road cyclist and walker, but have huge problems with ‘coughing’ on exertion. I am using steroid inhalers, but without much success.

A.
A recessive chin can cause a r… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Would braces make the gum recession and TMJ worse?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am 27 and am considering braces since my bottom teeth and quite wonky. Although my teeth and gum themselves are healthy, for most of my life have had a clicking jaw joint. I have been using a mouthguard but it has done little to help me stop clenching my teeth. I also have sensitive teeth and some gum recession cause either by toothbrush abrasion or maybe the clenching of my teeth.I am looking for a dentist who may be able to help me with all these issues! Would I be able to have braces or would it make the gum recession and TMJ worse? If I get braces and my gum recession increases, is there a dentist who would be able to give me a gum graft to improve this? Kind regards
