Hi Dr Julian. My two front teeth, one is over lapping the other and the other has a chip on it. Also i am 18 and i still have a baby tooth at side of my big tooth which is very noticeable. They very discolored as well. I am very self conscious and hate smiling! I’m just wondering if you have any advice. Thank-you
Hi,
3 of my wisdom teeth have come out. They haven’t cause me problems, apart from they are all facing the gum outwards (just slightly), but are fine.
But recently my last wisdom tooth has started coming up.
It has broken the skin. But only on one side, and now there is a gap between the wisdom tooth and the other tooth. Does this mean the wisdom tooth is impacted?
Hello
I am a mum of 2 boys both have been breastfed on demand day and night. This for a long period involved frequent night feeds (every 90 – 120 mins). My first son was breastfeed for 2 years and thankfully has had no problems with his teeth. My 2nd son is nearly 3 and continues to breastfeed but unfortunately has terrible decay evident on most of his top teeth. Since Nov I have stopped night feeding him as advised by a dentist. I am unsure why his teeth are so bad. He has never has a bottle, drinks water, doesn’t eat sweets. He does have chocolate but in small amounts. He did use to eat muller fruit corner yorgurts regularly which I have recently stopped due to their high sugar content. I can’t believe that breastfeeding would cause this. I have wondered about my diet as my first son was lactose intolerate so I didn’t eat any dairy for 2 years but nowdays make up for the chocolate I missed. Thus maybe my milk is sweeter. Also I was 30 wks pregnant with my 2nd son when my first son stopped breastfeeding. Would a reduced dairy intake effect teeth?
I took my 2nd son to a dentist when he was 14months as I could see the enamel coming of his front tooth.
I am desperate to improve his situation. Any ideas why this could have occurred?
I have been advised to have his upper d’s removed next week under a GA due to decay and his age preventing effective treatment – I just can’t believe that this is happening to my little boy and feel truely dreadful!
Any ideas/ tips would be very much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Julie

Hi Mark
My son, who had fluoride during his foetal development, breast feeding and for years as fluoride tablets, has dental fluorosis.
The enamel on his teeth seems very hard but with fine cracks in it in places, under which there has been found to be decay which could not be found with a dental probe.
Do you happen to know what could have caused this problem?
I would very much welcome your response.
Thank you in anticipation of a response.

tooth no 31 is loose. I am age 68 and though have reg. hygenist treatment and take good care of my teeth it seems I suffer from gum desease. It has been suggested removal of this tooth, root canal treatment to the 2 either side to enable a bridge to be fitted.WHAT is root canal treatment, I cant find anywhere it explained. Also another dentist suggested NO root canal,but laser to these teeth to strengthen them and then bridge fitted. Also a back lower moler has no bone left so huge deep hole which is kept clean. l dentist: remove tooth. other laser, bridge top and sides to stop food going in.
i dont WANT to kill my 4 front teeth, would prefer laser, where can I get this treatment in Uk or Israel where I live. thank you.
