Please help me in reshaping my teeth
Friday, November 6th, 2009Q.
Dear Dr Moore I am Writing concerning a special case of cosmetic dentistry i am interested in. I am looking for a way of reshaping 8 of my teeth (the top and bottom canines and top and bottom lateral incisors). I wanted to consult you as to the feasibility of this, and secondly if it is a service you can provide as it is reshaping the teeth rather than trying to return them to a normal shape. The effect i am after is for the canines themselves to be slightly expended (approximately 1 or 2mm) and both them and the lateral incisors to be more pointed. The intent is to be a subtle effect and must be acceptable for still eating/chewing etc. I realize in itself this request is rather unusual, but i was hoping even if you yourself cannot provide this service you might be able to point me in the direction of those who could. On that note, if you can provide this service, how much would it cost? for all 8 teeth and which would be the best way of approaching this? I would greatly appreciate any help your expertise could lend to this matter.

What can be done to a half broken tooth surfacing below gum-line?
Friday, November 6th, 2009Q.
Hi, I have just returned from a visit to my dentist today. My appointment was for preparation for a crown on upper molar, second from back. This tooth had broken in half followng root canal treatment and filling 5 years ago. My current dentist put a temporary cover on it and we left it for six months to ensure that the seal hadn’t been breached. When he removed the temporary today he advised he would be unable to save the tooth as what was left of the tooth was partially below the gum-line rendering a crown that would not be viable. He suggested either a bridge, which he felt was not a good option due to the grinding down of the adjacent teeth and suggested an implant at a cost of £2,000. Having done some research on the internet some sites have said that crowns can be placed even if there is only a root left (that has had root canal treatment) and a post can be inserted into the root for the crown to be attached to. Can you advise if this is a possibility please? I look forward to your response. Many thanks.

A protruding tooth is affecting me playing my trumpet
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009Q.
I am a professional trumpeter with a protruding upper tooth which affects my playing. I am wondering if having it removed and a dental implant inserted would help. How long after initial consultation would you typically be doing the surgery? How long after surgery would I be able to play trumpet? How many appointments are normally required?

I feel results from braces are abnormal
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009Q.
Hi, i’m 18 and i had braces for 2 years when i was 13. since then i havent had any trouble until recently when my lateral incisor has felt slightly loose. this was one of the teeth which moved the most during my orthodontic treatment. in the past few weeks it has felt slightly painful in what im assuming is the root. i have noticed it has moving so i’ve had to wear my retainers every night nd they feel tight around this tooth whenever i put them in. is this normal? i have also read that these sort of symptoms can be related to sinus problems, is this likey? i did mention that my tooth felt loose to my dentist but he said it was about 0.5 on the scale of looseness and not to worry, did he miss something? generally my teeth are healthy and i have not noticed any abcesses.

Should laser machine for teeth whitening require trained professional?
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009Q.
I have a hairdressing salon. A friend is investing in laser teeth whitening products including a laser machine. my friend is not a dentist and is thinking of having someone who is n ot trained in any form of dentistry to do the treatments. My friend is asking me to rent some space for his little business. I do not feel comfortable about this and am concerned with public liability issues. I beleive it is illegal for someone not trained in the dentistry field to administer teeth whitening by laser.

How can I protect my loose tooth from falling off
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009Q.
I have a loose front tooth due to a cracked root. I go in a few days for my impressions for my flapper. My tooth is very loose and I am worried that it may fall out before I go for my apointment. I am not using it to eat at all. I am just afraid it will fall out.
