I live in Canada but am visiting England for a few weeks, could I get a brace in England?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr Safeer Butt. 🙂
I actually live in Canada but I was hoping you could still be of assistance in my particular case. I was just wondering how much it would cost me to get braces in England as i may be coming for a few weeks. As you may know braces are extremely expensive here and iwanted to know how much the prices are there. I dotn mind the traditional braces but a brief overview of the cost would help. Also how ong would it take for me to keep them on, and when can i remove them. Plus i know you have to get them tightened every month so can i just get it tightened in canada?
Thanks for your time Dr!

I have painful wisdom teeth but am afraid of the dentist. What can I do?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

Hi there I have a wisdom tooth coming in and it has always been a LITTLE painful, like a dull pain and I thought nothing of it, Iv had this light, dull pain for a year or more but recently (the last week) it has been getting sorer and sorer and now I�ve booked-in to see my dentist on Friday 22nd April. I brush frequently, always make DOUBLY sure to brush my coming-in wisdom teeth as much as I can and use mouth wash and do the odd flossing in a week. I have a fear of the dentist because I have a fear of needles so this is why I take SUCH good care of my teeth. I am 20 and only have 1 filling which I got as a child and some white plasticy coatings in the grooves of most of my molars that my uncle gave me as he is a dental hygienist.
The gum around my painful Wisdom tooth is VERY red and swollen and the pain can be too much to handle, I�ve been taking Anadin to cope with the pain better but even the rubbing of my tongue when I swallow or talk or eat is painful as it rubs the swollen bit of gum.
I�ve set myself up for getting it removed but I am VERY scared of needles in my mouth and just thinking about it makes me cry LOL Im just wondering if they�d still use General Anaesthetic with me? Im in Scotland.
Thanks

How can I resolve my awful gappy smile ?

Thursday, May 5th, 2011
Q.

Hi 

 Would the inman aligner be a good option for the gap I have in between my two front teeth? Or should I consider veneers?

I am quite concious of the gap that I have and would like to be able to have perfectly straight teeth and a hollywood smile. In addition, my next two teeth are my k9 teeth and as these have a point towards the end, is there something that I can do about these? can i have them filled down or can i have lose veneers to cover the gaps? I have considered the veneers, but recently came across the inman aligner we seems a cheaper and alternative treatment.

Thanks

Can I correct crooked teeth again – without braces?

Friday, April 15th, 2011
Q.

I went through quite extensive work as a teenager with fixed and removable braces. The after care was poor and 3 of my teeth are now misaligned again. One only slightly but the other 2 quite severely. Is there a way to receive treatment to correct these teeth without the need for braces again? I am now 27 and want to avoid this if at all possible.
