Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Aside from drinks that will stain them such as coffee and red wine, what other food and drinks should I moderate to stop the bonding discolouring or degrading? Is there a specific toothpaste that I should be using?

white fillings on the NHS

Monday, September 29th, 2008
Q.
Hello, could you please tell me if i am entitled to a white filling on the fourth tooth from the front, I went to the NHS dentist last week for a small filling as there was a small patch of decay on the front of the fourth tooth along, I came out with a great big metal filling shining out at me, I was horrified. The following day it fell out. I have to go back tomorrow for a replacement but I am hoping as this is a very visable area i can request a white one. Many thanks.

It is very difficult to advise… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Should i replace my amalgam fillings or have teeth extracted

Thursday, September 11th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I found I have alergy to some metal in my mouth, so I have to remove all my mercury fillings. Having some symptoms of mercury/metal poisening, I would like to know if it is better to remove the teeth and get inplant or just restore them with white fillings one by one? I found on xray that some of the front teeth are leaking, the metal is in the roots. Is it still the point to have them with white fillings or is not better to remove it? Thank you. katerina
