I have sensitive teeth and need a gentle dentist

Sunday, July 6th, 2008
Q.
I am not the best dental patient though have always attended (with great anxiety), and when i need treatment have always needed quite alot of local anaesthetic before I am pain free. I also have sensitive teeth when brushing which appears to be due to some small ridges at the top of my teeth (about 4 teeth) near my gums.(too sensitive for dental hygeine so lot of personal time to keep clean). I would love to have both straighter and whiter teeth though did not know if this would be possible with sensitive teeth and whether this could be remedied. (I would also need a very patient and gentle dentist!)

Hi i am a43 year old woman who has just had her braces off after 18 months i had the treatment for a very large overbite. but i am not happy with the result as i still have a really large overbite and was wondering if i had a couple of teeth out from the back and had invisaline braces would my teeth move back any more as they are still resting on my bottom lip, i have spent 3000 on this treatment and i just feel like it was a waste of time and money, and can you please tell me at the moment i an wearing essex retainers and have been for nearly 5 months but my teeth are still not setting in the jaw bone if i leave the retainers out for a hour when i eat i struggle to get them back on.this cant be right. can anyone please help me with this problem as im so depressed i was expecting at least some change in how i look, and feel as if it was all a waste of time and money, i would be willing to do anything to change my overbite and get my teeth to sit behind my lip as i feel so uncomfortable about the way i look thankyou for your help

my jaw is offline and I need to have it broken to re align it

Saturday, July 5th, 2008
Q.
I have been told i have an offline jaw. Before i was told this i never noticed my jaw and was only worried about my teeth. Experts told me that the only way to sort this would be a 5 hour long operation, where they would break my jaw to re-aline it and then give me braces. Would veneers be a possible alternative?

My front teeth are thin with acid erosion from an eating disorder

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008
Q.
My two front teeth have been eroded and thinned (thick at the gum then really slim down at the bottom) due to acid erosion caused by years of an eating disorder. Now those days are truly well behind me I am left with a reminder when I see these two eroded front teeth, which I am becoming more and more self conscious about. The two teeth either side of these face forwards so I presume would need re-allighning, however the rest of my teeth are in pretty good nick and form a good shape / curve. What would you recommend to sort these 4 teeth out, and roughly do you know how much it would cost, and could you recommend anywhere in London, many thanks.

Firstly if you feel that the t… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My left canine wont grow into its space and incisor is wobbly

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
Q.
I’m a 19 year old girl and have had trouble with my left Canine tooth. For some reason the tooth didnt grow down and so i had one tooth pulled out (to create space) and an operation to uncover the Canine. I was told there may be problems with its Growth, luckily the tooth did make progress and the tip of the tooth is about half way into the space now (after 2 years of patiently waiting) however, the tooth next to the canine (lateral incisor- if thats what you call it!) seems to have become wonky and wobbly, and so my dentist is at a loss as to how to move the canine further down as it appears to be remaining stationary now. have you got any suggestions as to what dentistry might be available to me, im not sure if the tooth will move further by its self? quite worried i\’ll lose the tooth next to it if something isnt done and im self-conscious of my smile.
