Monday, August 9th, 2010Is a career dentistry right for me? Do you have any advice?
Thursday, August 5th, 2010Q.
hi, i am considering a career in dentistry but have a few reservations about sticking my hands in people’s mouth. did you ever feel the same way or did you know anyone who has felt similarly. if so, how was this overcome? i think i do want to be a dentist, i would be helping others and i think i would enjoy the job abd lifestyle. is ‘going in people’s mouths’ something you just get used to, or is it just irrelevant because you mostly just use the dental tools rather than go in the mouth. also, does the job ever get boring? i realise there are a variety of treatments but over time, do these become repetitive and boring. what is the most common treatment, standard check-ups, fillings etc.?? and which age group makes up the bulk of your patients. is it mostly the elderly, kids or young/old adults. please help, thanks. salam,

I had a filling replaced with porcelain, and now it hurts? How long should this last for?
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010Q.
I went to the dentist days ago. He did an exam and said that I had a little cavity in one of my silver fillings. He said “lets take care of the cavity, and we’ll also replace the filling with porcelin. I said ok. It’s been three days and my tooth is very sensitive to hot and cold and sometime just aches. How long can I expect this to go on for? It wasn’t even bothering me when I went for the exam, now I have problems. I’m sorry I let him do anything. I should have waited until it started to hurt….if it aint broke dont fix it. Can you tell me if it should still be hurting.,

Should I receive dental veneers or would bonding be better for me?
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010Q.
Hi Andrew, I’m considering getting Vaneers but they are expensive and the tooth required allot of prep work. Would bonding be a suitable alternative? If so, what’s the going rate to have 8 top teeth done? Your advice is really appreciated. Thanks,

My son has a brown smudge on his tooth would a dental veneer be the best treatment for him?
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010Q.
My son had an accident when he was 16 months old. He forced his new tooth up into the gum which had to be removed surgically. He is now 12 and his adult tooth has emerged with a brown smudge along the lengthe of the tooth. He would like a veneer – would this be the best option? However, as he is still growing would this cause a problem? Also, he is a very keen rugby player would it be worth doing whilst he is playing so much rugby. Or, could the stain be “bleached”? He is very self conscious of his tooth, especially as he is getting interested in girls.,
