My Fillings Have Stained My Tooth, What Can Be Done?

Monday, March 25th, 2013
Q.

Hi there,

I have two very large amalgam fillings in my first molar (?!) on ether side of my top row of teeth and they have stained what little remaining tooth I have left a horrible grey/black colour. When I first had them done I didn’t realise they were going to be so far forward and visible in my mouth (4th tooth along from centre on either side). Every time I smile and even speak they are visible and I absolutely hate them. They have ruined my confidence and I have seen my dentist about replacing them but he says they are too large and even more of the tooth would have to be removed. I guess he is right but after years and years I just want to be able to smile properly without covering my mouth!

What options are available to me please?

Thank you.

Is Fluorosis Irreversible?

Tuesday, February 12th, 2013
Q.

My daughter of seven years has badly stained teeth from using too much fluoride toothpaste and probably swallowing it. I overbrushed her teeth not realising the negative effects this could have on young teeth. Her self-esteem is affected now and she’s embarassed to smile. Do you have any advice? She’s using a non-fluoride toothpaste now and drinking bottled water. She’s also allergic to dairy products and is taking a calcium supplement. Is the fluorosis irreversible?Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks and we look forward to your reply.

How Can I Whiten My Teeth? I’ve Tried Everything!

Monday, January 7th, 2013
Q.

Hello Doctor Hughes! I have discoloured teeth and I really want to whiten them and I have tried lots of different methods but so far, nothing seems to work. I also broke my two front teeth down the middle, and had to have fake teeth fitted in their place so I have had to have fake teeth there. But I have tried everything! I have used countless whitening toothpastes, whitening strips, and even baking soda. NOTHING WORKS! I need help, my teeth are like kinda yellow and I don’t like the way they look and it really bothers me. I look after my teeth and consider to have good oral health. At the moment I am brushing my teeth like four times a day with whitening toothpaste, and I floss twice a day. Help me please! I look forward to reading your response. Thank you.
