Am I correct to say that Enlighten did not whiten all teeth?

Friday, February 12th, 2010
Q.
I have used the Enlighten whitening system for two weeks at home and have had the hour in surgery boosts but have found that half of each tooth has whitened at the other half (nearest the gum) has not. My dentist told me there was no difference but I insisted that there was and have been given another syringe and been told to continue treatment for another two weeks. Is it safe to continue? Would you have expected better results? What do I say if it doesn’t work again? Many thanks,

Should I replace veneers with crowns as they keep cracking?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Q.
I am on my 5th set of veneers. I have the top front four teeth veneered. I started with NHS but they kept chipping and falling off. My dentist then talked meinto private veneers and I am still having problems with then chipping and cracking. Last night my front veneer chipped again and looks awful. My dentist has not charged me for replacing up until now and I guess he wont believe it when he get’s my call first thing Monday morning. Is it time to replace the veneers with crowns?,

Why do crown and filling keep falling out?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi Am 45 male and admit when younger l did not look after my teeth as l should have and have had a sweet tooth for many years. But l have tried hard, but over the last year l had my back teeth removed cos of decay. But what more worrying is l having larger filling at the backs which are just falling apart. Also I have 3 grown at the front. And over the year each one for no reason just falls out. I had them put back in but a few months later another one falls out. It now getting me very upset and worried about my teeth falling out. And no long like to even step outside the front door if it can be help. I even avoid some people at work so l doesn’t have to talk and open my mouth. I have read a lot about implants and yes for the front l would feel this would be great. But the truth is l cannot afford 3 implants and never will have that type of money. But l just cannot understand why each crown and filling is falling out. Am afraid to eat food and try to eat on the hard part of my gums. I cannot understand why all this is happing. But l thought as your help is Free in answering my question l can only hope for some help please.,
