My tooth is really small because it has been grinded down over the years, what can I do to fix this?

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
Q.
When i was eleven old i got my lateral incisor fitted with a crown because i found that they were pointy and small. I did the crowns over 11 years after and the dentist did a terrible job.

I’m concerned that I may have been given a dangerous bronze alloy crown, please help!

Friday, July 2nd, 2010
Q.
I am concerned re the Radio 4 You and Yours programme on bronze alloys for dental crowns a couple of weeks ago. I’m not good at making a fuss but yesterday my 3 month old ‘gold coloured’ crown fell off and I am having it refitted tomorrow by my NHS dentist. It is showing discolouration on the sides adjacent to the neighbouring teeth and a bit of green showing. The other sides are gold coloured and fine. Does this mean I have a bronze alloy crown? I understand these are not acceptable on the NHS and which the dental surgeon speaking on the programme said he would under no circumstances have in his mouth as one’s body absorbs metal ions(?can’t remember exactly!) from the crowns. They are however cheaper and are used. I am going to ask her tomorrow but if it is a bronze alloy how should I proceed? Thanks for your help. Please reply soon!!,

I’m not sure what these crowns… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
