I have radiating pain in my upper teeth

Thursday, December 11th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have radiating pain in my upper teeth. I believed it is one of the upper molar. There is nothing wrong with the tooth but I can feel sharp pain radiating. Sometimes, the pain goes away entirely. The gums are bleeding when I floss. Do I need a root canal? I’m scared since I’ve already had two in the past month.

One of my upper incisors B didn’t grow It is genetics

Thursday, December 11th, 2008
Q.
Hello, One of my upper incisors (B) didn’t grow. It is genetics. My sister don’t have one of the incisors (B) too. They move her teeth so the big gap size of a tooth dissapeared. In my case they put a temporary porcelain tooth which is glued with some special glue to my incisor (A) and canin. I was supposed to have a surgery where they would give me implant. But I don’t want to have implant. I am just 22 years old and I don’t want to have fake tooth all my life. I would like to have my teeth moved, so the space, where is porcelain tooth now, will be gone. They did this with my sisters teeth so it is possible isn’t it? It doesn/t matter that the gap is big as a tooth? I would like to ask you if it can be done and if it can be done with Invisalign. Thank You very much

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008
Q.
Hi Komai I am a very nervous person about Dentists and am 22 yr old student who also has never had any work done on my teeth i have had consultations done but too scared too go back because the dentist was really nasty to me for never going(my parent never took me) but i really have lost all confidence and don’t want to smile or look in the mirror. I would really love to have cosmetic dentistry and start over with a new smile. Do you think that you could get this done on the NHS as i cant really afford the cost of the treatment as im still at uni . regards

I’ve always had a gummy smile

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008
Q.
I don’t know how to start these. :/ But, I’ve always had a gummy smile, I’ve always been made fun of because of it. I had braces on for five years, and yet, I still have a gap on one side of my two front teeth. I never even smile that much in pictures, because I fear embarrassment. I believe my smile is controllable, but why tolerate that and not get it corrected? I absolutely despise my gummy smile and also my poor enamel, which show white marks at the tip of my two front teeth. I just wish I could afford corrective gum surgery and porcelain veneers. I was wonder what the cost would be after insurance? Or at least an estimated cost. If not that what else should I do? Plus, I feel as if my teeth are already long and the gummy smile correction will make them even longer? or would you shave the teeth down? Thank you so much for taking time and reading my question. I just wish for the impossible.

I have a very large filling in one of my upper rear teeth

Monday, December 8th, 2008
Q.
Hi, my question relates to crowns. I have a very large filling in one of my upper rear teeth (second from the back) my dentist thought the cavity was really a bit large to be filling but i didn’t want to lose the tooth so it was filled. I’ve been very careful with it and its lasted about 8 months but part of the tooth has now broken off, i assume this will only get worse and so my question is can the filling be ground down allong with the remaining tooth to support a crown, or does the filling have to be removed and the crown bonded just to the tooth as i don’t think there will be enough material to bond to if the filling is removed. thanks.

A.
Both options are possible, you… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Monday, December 8th, 2008
Q.
I have been quoted £324 for a veneer on one of my front teeth. As i am pregnant and soon to go on maternity leave i cannot afford this. I have been told that a porcelain jacket crown is just as good but not so costly. Is this correct? And what prices are these normally?
