Is there any treatment available to address my gummy smile and my crooked teeth?

Monday, August 23rd, 2010
Q.
I used to have braces until I had them removed last year because it was the end of my treatment. I had had them for five years. Yet I still have one of the worst smiles I think I’ve ever seen. My teeth are a lot straighter than they were before the braces, which I had because I had protruding teeth, but I still have trouble closing my mouth fully and properly because my front teeth are still too far forward, and aren’t completely straight. I also have quite a gummy smile. Is there any treatment that would be suitable and affordable (or on the NHS) so that I can have a nice smile for the first time in my life? Thanks for the help.,
A.

I have food stuck underneath my gum-line. Will it cause any harm to leave it there?

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010
Q.
I got two really tiny flat bits of food (pepper I think) stuck at the top of one of my canines, and in trying to get them out, I pushed them up further, under the gum. Now I can just very faintly see tiny shadows underneath my gum at the top of my tooth (though apparently my friend can’t see them!) The tooth is right at the front of my mouth & I don’t want to damage the gum by trying further to get the bits out. There is no inflammation. Will it cause any harm to leave the bits there? Will they come out by themselves or get worse? Thanks for any help you can give!,
A.
They should come out themselve… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
