How Should I Deal With My Protruding Canines And Small Laterals?

Tuesday, May 21st, 2013
Q.

Hello I was wondering what could be done about my canines because they stick out and also my laterals because there smaller than my other teeth , like there not the same size. My laterals are small and when I smile I feel very embarrassed. I also wanted to know if I get my teeth whitened is it a long term thing or will they turn yellow again? The rest of my teeth are the same length accept my laterals and they look
odd I’m 16 years old and having a nice smile would mean a lot to me. I cant smile without feeling ashamed of my teeth. So it’s affecting my confidence really badly and at the minute being a teenager it’s becoming a bit too much of an issue to just ignore.

Should We Extract My Daughter’s Erupted Canines?

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013
Q.

My 14 year old daughter’s two upper canines have erupted to full size in front and above the lateral incisors. All other teeth, on both sides of the upper arch, (central incisors through to premolars and molars) are well aligned with no gaps. Is it best to extract the canines, or extract the premolars and pull the canines into the spaces? The canines are bigger than the premolars, so would be a tight fit, and they would have to travel a long distance presenting a risk that good alignment would not be achieved. Extracting the canines would seem the simplest option with all other teeth being OK. But is it OK to lose these important teeth?

What advice do you have for wisdom teeth that have forced teeth to overlap?

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011
Q.

Please could you advise what to do when you have a canine tooth in this case my right, that has grown on top of or at least slightly overlapping the teeth surrounding it. My mouth is small and as my wisdom teeth have emerged all my previously straight teeth bottom and top are becoming more uneven. I would like to have braces perhaps but don’t know if an extraction bottom and top would be required before straightening could start. I would also like to have some whitening done but not sure if it is best to wait until the other problems are sorted first. I have never shown my teeth in a photograph and try not to laugh or smile as i feel it looks bad. If you have any advice i would be grateful.

What is a fair estimate for two bridges?

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010
Q.
Should two bridges of two teeth next to each other on both sides of my upper mouth cost $4000.00? If not what is a fair estimate? They are the two teeth behind my canines on both sides. That was close to what they quoted me. Seems really steep for 4 teeth.,

I have food stuck underneath my gum-line. Will it cause any harm to leave it there?

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010
Q.
I got two really tiny flat bits of food (pepper I think) stuck at the top of one of my canines, and in trying to get them out, I pushed them up further, under the gum. Now I can just very faintly see tiny shadows underneath my gum at the top of my tooth (though apparently my friend can’t see them!) The tooth is right at the front of my mouth & I don’t want to damage the gum by trying further to get the bits out. There is no inflammation. Will it cause any harm to leave the bits there? Will they come out by themselves or get worse? Thanks for any help you can give!,

They should come out themselve… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is there anywhere in the west midlands that can give me vampire fangs?

Thursday, March 25th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr, I have seen plenty of questions about having Vampire style fangs done but they dont quite give me all the information I need. I want to get semi permanent fangs… Be that moulded or filed and fitted.. My teeth are in perfect condition and are near truly straight and aligned, I don’t mind having my lower teeth filed to accomodate the fangs if needed. I would like to know If you know of anywhere within the West Midlands who would take a look at my teeth and if possible carry out the procedure for me? I would also like to know what other options are available to me that would give the desired effect.. I dont want short fangs, I want to get full on sharp fangs, I would like them to cover my existing canines. I really don’t want to pay a fortune on a consultation that ends up with me being declined for the procedure so a cheap consulation is a must. Thanks for your time.,

What treatment is suitable for canines that are forward of other teeth?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Q.
My bottom row of teeth is almost perfectly straight, but on the the top row the canines (I think) are further forward than my other teeth. Also, due to an accident when I was 11 (I am now 23) two of my teeth are chipped and one of the front ones has the bottom section missing and is capped. As such, I don’t know if it would be worth having my teeth straightened if you could still see the caps, or what my other options would be? Please advise? Much appreciated.,
