My teeth are yellow due to medication and i have crowding at the front can you advice

Friday, July 24th, 2009
Q.
Hi there dr, I hope you can help. When I was young me and my brother were given medication that turned our teeth extremely yellow (I can’t remember the name off hand, liquid antibiotics I think). Further to this, my wisdom teeth have grown under my gums forwards instead of upwards, and I have crowding at the front as well as very short teeth. I have been unwell for a few years and am unable to work. What would you advise me, and also are there options for patients in my position financially. I am extremely self conscious about my smile and at thirty, i’d like to do something before I’m much older so I can have a few smiley photos! Thanks!

I was told i cant have my teeth whitened due to long course of antibiotics Is there any other way

Friday, July 24th, 2009
Q.
I am considering having my teeth whitened, but was told a few years back that this would not work for me. As a child I was on a long course of antibiotics for a tonsil infection which was they were subsequently removed. I was long use of antibiotics can cause the teeth to yellow and teeth whitening unfortunately would not help this. They are not terribly yellow and I am not a smoker or heavy coffee or tea drinker, so wanted to know is this true, am I unlikely to see any result at all? thank you!

Will tooth whitening brighten the dead tooth and what are my options for my short front teeth

Monday, July 20th, 2009
Q.
Hi there, I am currently in the process of bleaching my teeth with nite white acp, which I got from the dentist. When examining my teeth and after doing an xray, he told me that the nerve end has died in one of my front teeth – and it was just slightly more yellow. About 6 years ago I hit my two front teeth. The other tooth was chipped and my then dentist basically filed the chip out, so this tooth is slighty shorter with a slant. I am very conscious about this. The bleaching is working well, but the dead tooth is a brighter colour than the rest, but when lookin at it closer it still seems more yellow than the others, I am afriad to double up on bleaching of this incase it makes it any brighter. What are my options with the two front teeth. Many Thanks

A.
You can bleach the darker toot… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Monday, July 6th, 2009
Q.
I am 18 years old and I have quite obvious white patches on some of my teeth, particularly my front two upper teeth, that I have had ever since my adult set of teeth came through.
