Do you have any advice to help daughter with removable expander?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Glaister My 8 year old daughter has been fitted with a removeable upper expander for a crossbite. She needs to initially wear it for 2 hours a day. I can’t even get her to wear it for 5 minutes as she says her mouth fills up with water. She has not managed to put it in herself either (she panics and cries). She returns to school on the 11th Jan and I would like her to be comfortable with it by then and speaking correctly. Do you have any advice? Many thanks.,

I would try to get her wearing… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can I have single veneer to fis fractured tooth?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q.
Dr. Tennet, I have a fractured upper central incisor that runs horizontal across the tooth and has not separated. I have seen two dentists so far and one wants to place a porcelain veneer on only that tooth while the other wants to put bonding on the fracture line if I cannot afford to have veneers on both central incisors. Is it advisable to put on a single veneer to just fix the fractured tooth? Thanks for your advice,
A.
A single veneer will work fine… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Teeth are loose and discoloured

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q.
I am 66 years old and have poor teeth. My lower front teeth are loose and discoloured. I also have gum disease and I think before long the lower front teeth will need to be removed. I want to look at new teeth but do not know much about it. Dentures scare me somewhat and I wonder if some implants and whitening of the few good teeth I have would be the answer. I would appreciate your advice. I live in Portugal but come to the UK fairly often. How long would any recommended treatment take. Many thanks.,
