My bottom row of teeth is touches the inside row of teeth advice

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
Hi, Ive recently been to the dentist and have always had good teeth with no pain or alignment issues. But during my last visit my dentist said that my bottom row of teeth is making contact with the inside of my top row of teeth at the front. There has been some minor wear and my dentist says over time it will get to the point where the top teeth could break. Is there any treatment that is available for me and is it at all likely that my teeth could break over time? Thank you

Ive heard that there are possible risks of dangerous chemicals leaching from sealants advice

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Caplan, I have read on your site the page about dental sealants. I have heard that there are possible risks of dangerous chemicals leaching form sealants, notably bisphenol A. My daughter had some sealants put in a year or so ago and I was not informed of any health risks. What would you suggest I do? Are there a range of possible sealants available with some deemed safer than others? In which case, should I ask the dentist which was used on her and perhaps get them redone if it was not a safe sealant? Many thanks

A.
All sealants and white filling… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My 13 yr old has a large white mark on her front tooth what can be done to fix the problem

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009
Q.
My 13 year old daughter has a large white mark on her front tooth. She is very self conscious of this and people often say to her that she has something stuck on her tooth. It covers about 40% of just one tooth. What is the best way to get rid of this mark? Our dentist was quite dismissive and said she should wait until she’s 18 to do anything, but didn’t really tell us what could be done?

I had a sharp shooting pain in a molar with some sensitivity what would be the reason

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009
Q.
Hi I would really appreciate your help. This afternoon I was having a cold drink when I experienced a sharp shooting pain in a molar I had filled a few months ago. I also experienced some sensitivity in another filled molar but not to the same extent. All this was accompained by a general ache in my teeth. This morning I had no pain and drank cold drinks with no problem, do you have any idea why the pain suddenly came on just a few hours later? I chewed a lot of gum today which I haven’t done for a year or so. Could I have chipped the filling? I checked in the mirror and there doesn’t appear to be any holes but maybe I missed them? I don’t really have the time or money to go to the dentist this week but I am desperate to sort this problem as it is my birthday this weekend. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you
