How long after using the whitening treatment should I avoid ingesting food/drink with staining potential?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
I am currently undertaking home whitening with bleach supplied by the denist in tailor made dental trays. 1 hour a day. How long after treatment should I avoid ingesting food/drink with staining potential. Any further during and aftercare advice would be greatly appreciated. I have post operative hypthyroidism and hypoparathyroidisim for which I am on total replacement thyroxin and Sandocal (effervescent calcium) and one alpha to maintain my calcium levels. I am an ex nurse and just thought I’d run this by you though I don’t think my condition would have an adverse or corrosive effect when teeth whitening as I can’t maintain serum calcium levels due to no parathyroid hormone. So can’t extract calcium from bone when needed have to absorp for GI tract to maintain levels. Love my teeth and as just enhancing them as hit 40 want to be sure I am not damaging them. Any advice appreciated. Know I am rare but thought I’d just ask incase you’d encountered anyone like me (a consequence of surgical error). Thanks,
A.

A dentist told my wife that she will lose all her upper front teeth. Could you please advise us regarding the nature of cosmetic procedures involved in treating this type of condition?

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010
Q.
hi My wife has just been told by a dentist that she will loose all her upper front teeth. This is due to a flea bite on her gum, which became infected, and has attacked the teeth roots and bone of her upper jaw. The dentist told her that cosmetic surgery to address this problem would be extremely expensive, and that dentures are the only practical solution. At the moment all her teeth are still firm, and her mouth looks completely normal. Could you please advise us regarding the nature of cosmetic proceedures involved in treating this type of condition, and their likely cost. Regards,
A.

I’m having several problems with my implants, can I get them re-fitted without ruining them and the bone underneath?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
hi dr moore, i have a question. i had 2 implants done a few years back to replace my front teeth.. the first implant went in fine but the second one took less thn half the time and felt like it had snapd my bone, i askd him if everything went ok and he said it was fine.. a few weeks went by and i started gettin a grinding snaping feeling and sound in my mouth like the bone had somehow snapd, i talkd to the dentist about this and he said it was the implants rubbing against my other teeth, which sounds odd to me.. could tht be true? and how can i fix this? also another question, when i had the teeth fitted he put the teeth in the way round, as in the left was where the right should be.. can i get them removed and fitted again without ruining the implants and maybe my bone too? thanks for your time in answering these questions it would mean alot to finally fix my teeth problems, thanks again.,
