Tuesday, April 7th, 2009
Q.
I recently have this really cold sore on my gum and it started turned white and really burn. I went and poked at it and I find that I have a hole in my gum, it is not near my teeth, it is above the teeth near the side of my right and left mouth.

How to get rid of a gummy smile and options for chin and jaw correction

Saturday, April 4th, 2009
Q.
Hi, Just a few questions if you could help? I’m 23 and recently coming to the end of my treatment from the damon braces. My teeth are still not perfectly straight, i still have a cross bit and over bite, but its much better than it was. I am looking at a few things to complete everything. One being how to get rid of my gummy smile. I’n not sure which option to take? My cosmetic dentist has said botox to stop my lip rising? but ive seen gum contouring or lip flap surgery, not sure of the name, but where they reposistion the lip? Second thing is my chin/jaw. I’m not sure if I should have a chin implant, neck lift of correction jaw surgery. Which do you think would be the best options and best prices? I’ve even considered going abroad as the fee’s are so much here in the uk! I hope you can help, Thanks,

My gums are shrinking and you can see the top of my crown

Saturday, April 4th, 2009
Q.
Good morning, Please can you give me some advice. My 2 front teeth have crowned. Originally I was pleased with the result of my crowns when they were fitted 4 years ago. The colour was perfect, and they looked like my teeth before I chipped them playing sport. But as I am getting older, my gums are shrinking so you can see the top of the crown (very unsettling) & they are not as white as my other teeth either. Would you recommend new crowns or vaneers? bearing in mind, I want them to look as real as possible. Thank you for your time
