Friday, September 11th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr. Caplan, my daughter will be 3 in 2 weeks time and she already has a very wobbly front tooth. Is this something I should be worried about, surely she is too young to be losing her first teeth, and should I book a visit to the dentist for her. We do take care of her teeth and they are brushed twice a day so am quite concerned. Many thanks.

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Andrew Moore My teeth started to move only a few months after i had finished six months of wearing a removable brace and before this a fixed brace and night brace during a year and a half. This was when i was about ten , i am 38 now,my front teeth are quite big compared to what my baby teeth were like and so i have always had a problem with over crowding. As my teeth are quite crooked at the front, they over lap, do you think i would benifit from having a removable or fixed brace again could it help to straighten my front teeth or would my teeth end up crooked again. My bottom teeth are also crooked but i did not have a brace as i was told at the time that my teeth would eventualy straighten out but this did not happen. Thank you for your time and help

My 4yr old daughter has infected gums and is extraction likely?

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Q.
I have a 4yr old with capped teeth. Her teeth were capped after a heart procedure & a dose of antibiotics, approximately 2 yrs ago. After the antibiotics her top teeth went grey & the enamel appeared to be “ridged” or like it melted away. Anyway the dentist suggested capping, she’s now with a new dentist. My daughter just had a check up & apparently the dentist feels there’s an infection in her gums, caused by one of the caps & wants to extract it. She said my daughter’s mouth is reacting to the material in the caps & this can occasionally happen. I just wanted a 2nd opinion on whether the problem is common & if extracting is the only answer.

A.
Please seek a second opinion b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
