Is work on gum boil that seems to have gone still necessary?

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010
Q.

On my dentist’s advice I am waiting to have the previous root canal re done privately by a specialist dentist. However at present and for the last 6+ months i have no boil or any other symptoms. The x ray show some possible infection and the specialist thinks he can improve the root canal work.

What can be done about teeth that have decayed after wearing braces?

Friday, March 12th, 2010
Q.
Good Afternoon I was wondering if you was able to help me when I was younger I had a brace on my teeth about a month before the brace was due to come off I went travelling for just over a year and kept the brace on the whole time I was away. This was about 5 years ago I finally had the brace removed but my teeth on my lower jaw are very badly decayed I have had to have two removed, and two towards the back are now rotten. I am now worried about my front teeth. My upper jaw not perfect but in a much better condition. I am worried about going back to the dentist because of the bad way my teeth are in. But I have to get something sorted because I am getting married in October and I would like my teeth to be in a better condition. I do not have a dentist at the moment but was wondering if you could help. Hope to hear from you soon Barry,
