How often should an x-ray be used during routine check-up? Should I request one?

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
Q.
How often should x-ray be used during routine check-ups? I have been going to my current dentist for 15 years for 6 monthly checks with cleaning and polishing. He asks me if I have any problems (which I dont at present) but I have a lot of very old fillings, some I reckon over 40 years! I cant remember the last time my teeth were xrayed, should I request this next time? Many thanks,

Can you have tooth bonding done under anaesthetic?

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
Q.
My front 3 teeth which have been worked on before have become gappy quite badly so,I can’t seem to find out a great deal about tooth bonding online but wondered if there would be a likelihood they could be bonded without anaesthetic ? I don’t have a great fear of the dentist however I loathe being jagged at the front of the mouth and have put off going to see the dentist about this for around a year.,

Can you advise me on what to do next as I am a very nervous patient?

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have rotten teeth in my upper jaw and arranged an appointment for the first time in years to visit a dentist in Manchester. After the consultation I was given 3 options, 1) Remove all the rotten teeth and fit a denture. 2) fit a full mouth bridge that would be anchored to 1 tooth. 3) Implants. At the time I couldnt afford options 2 / 3, and was far to reluctant to get dentures as I’m only 30. I now have more money available for treatment, but the dentist wont see me again because I failed to turn-up for my second appointment (very bad, I know, but I felt I was being pushed into getting a treatment I didnt want). Could you advise me of what I should do next – I am still a very nervous patient and feel embarrased going to see a dentist who doesnt know my situation. Many Thanks,

What can I do to replace a missing tooth and correct the remaining teeth?

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr, I have had a lot of problems with my teeth over the last few years, unfortunately through fault of my own by neglecting them. My front tooth decayed and fell out a year ago, and I’ve been too embarrased and financially unable to get it taken care of or corrected. I’ve been using various ways of filling the gap, one of which I’m ashamed to say is by using tissue, needless to say it’s ruined the shape of my remaining teeth, is very uncomfortable and it just looks awful. I want to get this problem fixed and my tooth corrected. I would like to know the procedure you would recommend and an estimation of costs involved. Please help. Thank you.,

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
Q.
I am looking to have some cosmetic work done on my teeth. I am not sure what would be the best procedure – i have had a couple of fillings on my front teeth which are somewhat discouloured – I was thinking veneers but wasn’t sure if it is possible to veneer teeth that have got fillings? It would mainly be the top 8 teeth I think as the are relatively straight and white. what would be best ?,

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
Q.
