X-rays revealed i have enamel decay between all my upper teeth, how long will remineralisation treatment take?

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011
Q.

Hello
I’ve always really looked after my teeth, eating no sweet things, and brushing after everything I ate for my whole life. But I was a bit slack on flossing because the floss always broke and it was annoying! And I was drinking loads of pure orange.
I was horrified to find out on changing dentists that xrays revealed slight enamel decay between just about ALL my teeth in my upper jaw, probably from the pure orange and lack of flossing. Thankfully I have the chance to remineralise these areas and hopefully all will be ok.

But how long does remineralisation and arresting caries take?
In my case I’m brushing 4 times a day, alternating a kind/gentle enamel care toothpaste with a fluoride one, as well as flossing with Duraphat 5000 on the floss twice a day.

I’ve been doing this for two months now.
Will the decay have arrested by now?

Will this decay have totally disappeared off the xray next time, so I know I’ve eliminated the decay?

I’ve moved now so I’m not going back to the dentist that spotted this.
Will it be obvious to a new dentist that the decay has healed, or will the arrested decay just be sitting there on the xray, with it not showing whether it’s live or arrested?
Thanks!

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

Hi there,
My gums seem to be receeding and my teeth are crooked and discoloured. I have a few gaps from my youth. I do not smoke.

I am basically looking for a new set of teeth without temporary dentures – I want a peramant fix. I am 37 years old. What do you advise?
