My daughter, who is only 7 years badly chipped her front teeth

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008
Q.
My daughter, who is only 7 years badly chipped her two front teeth, losing about a half of one tooth and a third of the other. These are her 2nd teeth and therefore the dentist has stated that until she is over 16 she will require fillings to be placed on to the teeth in order that they will appear normal. In order for the fillings to be strong the dentist has advised that she will need to have pins placed into her teeth and the fillings will then be attached to these pins as well as her teeth. Obviously we want to ensure she gets the best and correct treatment possible so can you advise if the pins are a routine way of dealing with this situation considering there has been such amajor loss of tooth. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

One of my back teeth has broken down to the gum. I do not have any pain but my dentist insists on root canal treatment in order to fit a post for a crown. Do I really need root canal treatment or can the tooth be built up to fit a crown?

I fell flat on my face at the weekend and have broken two of my top front teeth

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008
Q.
I fell flat on my face at the weekend and have broken two of my top front teeth. I went to my dentist today and because one of them only has a small peice of tooth left in the gum and is quite painful she has said that I need a root canal and then it will need to to capped. She states that there is nothing they can do as a temporary fix and my first appointment for the root canal is 2 weeks away and then I will have to wait another two weeks for the trestment to be completed. The other tooth is slightly longer and she thinks that she can just fill it which concerns me as there will be a lot more filling than tooth and as it is my biting tooth Im worried the filling may fall out all the time and look a bit rough. Id rather pay more and have another cap or do you think a filling would surfice? The last thing I want is a dodgy job done, I want to look like I did before the fall! Is it true that there is no temporary measure they can do as I cant really have a month of work and there is no way I can go out in public like this!

I have had a crown on my front incisor

Sunday, October 19th, 2008
Q.
I have had a crown on my front incisor for about 10 years now and it hase been replaced once before, however, it has now become loose and my new dentist thinks there may be a hairline fracture which means I will need a bridge. Your website indicates that the teeth on either side will need to be crowned to enable the bridge to be fitted and therefore I would like to take advantage had have lumineers fitted to the front 6 or 8. My dentist has advised that I would need the root removed first. Can you advise as to all my options and as I am an nhs patient can my dentist still do cosmetic work, provided i pay of course? Many thanks
