Hi I had a tooth extracted on the bottom right hand side

Thursday, November 6th, 2008
Q.
Hi I had a tooth extracted on the bottom right hand side (more to the front) however Im worried because there is a gap now. Whats the best option is it bridging but is there a such thing as an a individual bridge opposed to having to interupt the other two teeth on either side. Futher what other options are there such as crowns, or geting it capped.

I have been viewing your website dreaming of dental implants

Thursday, November 6th, 2008
Q.
Hello there, I have been unrealistically viewing your website and dreaming of having dental implants. I don’t think I have smiled in over 5 years. Some 10 years ago I foolishly had my own healthy teeth filed down to have a bridge on my upper teeth so they had the appearance of looking straight, but gradually my own teeth have fallen out and the bridge/s had to be replaced. Further, a partial bridge became loose and fell out and the remaining bridge is loose and unsightly. I am only 47 years old and feel deeply depressed that my only option in my present financial circumstance would be dentures. I feel so ashamed of my earlier vain decision to have a bridge/s and have given up on any help from the NHS. Not only that I moved location over a year ago and no NHS dentist is willing to take me on as a patient, and was incensed when trying to put my child on a waiting list that they would only register him if I registered as a private patient. The irony of all of this, is that I am employed by the NHS but in mental health. I would appreciate any help or advice. Yours miserably

when I was a child I was hit with a cricket bat my front tooth has discoloured

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008
Q.
I had an accident when I was a child I was hit with a cricket bat into my mouth, this resulted in my front tooth over the years discolouring, my dentist years ago said that the nerve would eventually die. I am now very self conscious of this discolouration. What kind of treatment could I expect to make me smile again.

smashing one of my front teeth

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
Q.
I had an accident about 6 years ago which resulted in me smashing one of my front teeth. After some root work i had a crown fitted but it was a really bad fit and very noticable. I had to wait until a few weeks ago to get it redone as i could not afford it. I have now got my temporay crown in and goingback next week to get the new porcelin crown fixed. As i also have a gap i am getting a porcelin veneer in my other front tooth to close the gap. It is costing me over £2000. My issue is that the main reason i wanted to get it sorted is the black line on the top of my tooth. My dentist originally told me that with the porcelin crown and a white post this would be illiminated but when i went in to get my old crown removed and the temporay fitted he said that my old tooth is very black and so i can not get rid of the black line. This is very gutting for me as i still feel it looks really bad. I feel really annoyed that i am paying all this money but am still going to come away with the unsightly black gum! Is there anything that i can do? Shoudl i contact my dentist to discuss before my finla appointment?

What does a smile say about you

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008
Q.
Hello. I’m a student journalist and I would like you to answer a few questions. What does a smile say about you, intentionally or not? How do you “read” another person’s smile? Why is the smile an important communication tool and how can good oral health improve our sense of well-being?
