My son has a small jaw and after years of treatment his teeth are still not aligned. Can you help?

Monday, September 27th, 2010
Q.
hi! my son is now 14 years of age. and has a small jaw. when he was 10 his teeth were crowded so a dentist recommended braces for the upper jaw and he also removed two permanent teeth from the upper jaw. after nearly two years of treatment the teeth were still not aligned. now we are considering braces again. we went to two different orthodontists, both saying different things. one wants to remove two teeth from the lower jaw to make the number of teeth equal on both the upper and lower jaw. the other one is saying he would straighten out the teeth without extractions. i am so confused. please help!!,

What is the best course of action for my daughter if all of her front teeth are removed?

Monday, September 6th, 2010
Q.
My daughter suffered a trauma to her 2 upper front teeth as a child and had crowns fitted. At age now 22 she has had root canal and surgery to try and clear an infection that has occured around the root. If the infection re-occurs she has been told there is no more treatment available and her teeth will have to be removed. She has a massive phobia about her teeth and dentists as a result of her accident and always has to be sedated she is even having counselling to help her with this but her councellor has informed her she will have no front teeth for about 6 weeks if they have to be removed and she is distraught. Can you advise the best course of action if she does have to have them removed and what the process would be. Since the accident I have always taken her to a private dentist and am aware of the costs but I want her to have the best available because of her phobia. Please can you help,

Would it be best to replace my missing tooth with a false tooth at a private dentist?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010
Q.
I had my front top crown and root knocked out by a dog 12 weeks ago, there was a splint put on and it has now been removed. I feel the crown tender and there is slight movement, would i be better replacing it with a false tooth as i cannot have a bridge as the one next to it is also a crown. Also do you think i would be better off going private rather than NHS (would they make a better job of the work privately. Thanks,
