Is the soring of pink tissue after having braces considered normal?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q.
My 12 year old son has had braces about two months and he just got bands crisscrossed on the front top teeth to close a gap. The teeth have come together rather quickly but should they be closing on the pink piece of tissue that was between his teeth. It is very sore and puffy. And noticeable! His ortho told him to use baking soda and peroxide with a rubber tip to help push the tissue upwards out of the way. How can his teeth close with tissue in between? So far the pink flesh has not budged. Is this a normal process?

A.
The tissue can be compressed a… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Why is there dark staining on teeth inspite of adhering to oral hygiene standards?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009
Q.
Since moving back to New Zealand 2 years ago I now suffer from dark staining on my teeth.I have not drunk tea or coffee for over 25 years , no red wine either.I do drink cammomile or peppermint tea. I use a good electric tooth brush & brush for over 2 mins twice per day & floss at night, my husband can attest to my oral hygeine standards, I used to nurse in the dental department of my training hospital.I am dairy & gluten free. Could it be something in our water? We have filtered on the fridge but not for the kettle on the main tap? We only used filtered water in the UK . Your advice would be appreciated as my dentist is at aloss to the cause, I see him every six months and the problem is getting worse between visits. With kind regards
