Dear Doctor Mark, I tried using a new toothpaste called Regenerate as I tend to drink too many acidic drinks and was surprised to find it cured my sensitivity. Is it ok to use the toothpaste long term or should you alternate it with normal toothpaste? Also are there any issues about using mouthwash when using this product, i.e. will it interact or undo some of the benefit? Sorry if my questions are not very complex, but my dentist did not know. Thank you.
I had a composite build up done on my front four teeth two years ago. The acid erosion issue was with the front two only but the dentist suggested to get the front four done to achieve symmetry etc. Now I need to get the treatment redone because of staining. Is it possible for me to get the composite build up/composite veneer done on the front two only and have the composite removed from the side ones? Thanks.
Hi there. I would like to ask you a question. My teeth are quite bad I think. I haven’t brushed them for years, because of problems in my life. Over the years I’ve drank lots of fruit juices, smoked, among others. My teeth now are really small, yellow, and a bit jagged. They are wearing away. I think it’s down to acid erosion. But can you tell me the cost of fixing them? Could you tell me if there is a cheaper version, and what my opinions are? And could you tell me, if I got it done, is there away of paying in installments? Thank you.
Dear Sir, I was diagnosed with CD at the age of 18 and prior to this, had fissure sealant treatment and had not had a single filling. My teeth were regularly checked and in good condition, strong and white.
Over the years, my teeth have become visibly more yellow, I have had fillings and the enamel has eroded and exposed the very unsightly dentine on many of my teeth. Some of them have uneven biting edges and are sharp. Until this year, my front teeth remained fairly unaffected, but now I’m getting marks on them, between them and they are getting thinned and more sensitive.
I’m getting married next year and am determined to have a better smile than I currently do. I bit the bullet and made an appointment to visit a local dentist earlier this year, who suggested using bonding to just even out the edges of my teeth, but mentioned this would be to the colour that my teeth are currently, which I’m very unhappy with.
My CD is now stable and I am mainly healthy, but hate the fact that my teeth continue to get worse – possible down to stomach acid? Do you have a suggestion as to what treatments may work to help me finally get the smile I dream of? Thank you in advance for reading and I look forward to receiving your response.
Kindest regards.
Hello Dr Gambroudes. I have a friend who because she has taken tablets the enamel on her teeth has all come off and her confidence has totally gone with it. She won’t go out and this is the reason as she doesn’t want anyone to see her. She is not working and claims benefits so really can’t afford much. Can you help and advise me please as to where to go from here to help her? I hope you can offer your advice. Many thanks.
Hi there. I’m a 35 year old woman.
I’m concerned with my ‘gummy smile’ which causes me to feel self conscious. I show at least just over half an inch when fully smiling. Can you advise which treatments options are available to me and recommend the best UK dentists to carry out those treatments. A few years ago I had some cosmetic work to cover acid erosion at the top of my 2 front teeth. Would this limit my options? Many thanks.
Hello Andrew. I hope you can help me with my enquiry. At a young age I had a eating disorder, I would throw up everything I would eat for over Four years, with the help and love of my parents and friends I over came this, but now I notice that with so much throwing up that I was doing, I made a gap between my two front teeth, it isn’t big but I don’t like it how much would it be? And is there such type of paste to cover it? Or to fill in all the spaces I have? Thank you for taking the time to listen and I look forward to your reply.
Hi,
I have suffered from bulimia for around 4 years and I am currently being treated. My main concern though is my teeth. I’m incredibly worried about the effect bulimia has and will have on my teeth as I am nowhere near recovered yet. I was wondering what kind of thing I can do to protect my teeth as I already feel that they are increasingly sensitive? I realize that I may need to get some form of treatment in the future if I do not get my bulimia under control soon but I would like to minimize the damage done in the mean time.
Thank you.
Hi Marcus. I brush my teeth twice a day as usual yet over last few years my teeth seem to chip and are becoming thinner. My own dentist said it’s down to personal care. What can I do? Also two of my teeth have been removed due to breaking and I feel like at any time another could break as they look so thin. During my last check up they mentioned I have glue on my teeth from when I had braces at 12/13 years old and that there has been damage around the glue. I feel like I’m getting no answers and that I’ll lose all my teeth if nothing is done.
