What can be done to make big front teeth look better?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
Q.
Dr. Glaister, I hate my smile because of my two front teeth, they’re just too big! Alot of people say their front teeth are too long.. but I find mine to be not only long, but very wide as well. Am I just paranoid? Or is there anything I would be able to do to fix my smile in the next couple years (because I am under the age of 18)? http://s257.photobucket.com/albums/hh209/BKaah/?action=view¤t=teeth.jpg,

Is there a dentist in Glasgow who can fix my teeth in time for wedding?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
Q.
Im wondering if someone can help me – i am in need of some cosmetic dentistry asap. I am getting married in August 2011, and really want to be able to smile on my wedding day. The problem is my teeth are in such a mess! My front 3 teeth were removed, i have 1 implants and the other 2 are on a bridge. The rest of my teeth are discoloured, missing or broken. My bottom teeth are all still in place but would need to be whitened. I just wonder if someoen could recommend a dentist in glasgow i could go to? I dont want to get credit, and i probably wouldnt due to a bad credit history and just wonder is there any other way of paying for it? I could save maybe £4k by the end of this year but i dont know if that would be enough, or leave enough time for me to get it done before my wedding? Please help!,

What qualifications should I look for in dental implant provider?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Moore, Do you need specific qualifications to perform implants on a patient or can any dentist do it. I am currently researching dentists in the Northwest that can do this kind of work. When looking on the General Dental Councils register some dentists have letters after their names and some only have BDC. When looking for the right dentist what should I be looking for qualification wise. Many thanks,

Is it okay to have cotton swat in tooth without covering?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Q.
My dentist had given me the first part of my root canal, no infection but was in pain due to tooth trama (back molar) , anyway, my tooth and nerve were aggrevated so bad that I had a lot of drainage, so he only covered with a cotton swab and i go back on Monday, this was done Thursday. Is it ok to have a cotton swap in the tooth without a temp covering? I was told if I had a covering that gas could build up and i’d be in more pain until it was finished. Also, can bacteria build up on the cotton swab and cause toxic shock syndrome if the same swab is left for a few days? thanks!,

The tooth was not sealed to al… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Q.
Dear Sirs, I was wondering wether or not you could help me, you see im at my wits end, when i was about 22 years old i started with terrible dental problems, abcesses mouth ulcers, etc, and over the years got worse in a result of me eventually having full dentures, none of my family know i have dentures as i never take them out apert to clean them,the dentures i have at the moment are old and worn so i went to the dentist for new ones,i cant wear them the teeth dont close together, i cant chew or bite anything and i look like a horse they are huge, my dentist said i need to get used to them(i know that) but they are completely wrong, what i wanted to know was if there was any way i could have metal plates put into both my upper and lower jaw and have teeth inserted into them and if so what would roughly be the cost, thankyou for your time,
