My main concern is a vertical fracture on my front tooth can you advice on it.

Sunday, August 16th, 2009
Q.
My teeth are generally irregular but I am realistic that this is probably something I have to live with. However, my main concern is a vertical ‘fracture’ on my front tooth. I am very nervous that the tooth will soon break in half but I don’t want to consider crowns as I’ve seen the horrid tell tale sign of the grey as the tooth enters the gum…URGH! Please can you help? ps I’m a scuba diver.

Ive five tooth bridge fitted but one of my crowns wasnt fitted snuggly into the gum can u advice?

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr i recently had a five tooth bridge fitted, two of the teeth are false, three are abutments. I was pleased with the overall appearance of the bridge, however a couple of days later, i noticed one of the crowns wasn’t fitted snuggly into the gum line as the other two, i even saw a small gap, i revisted the dentist who fitted bridge and he said it looked fine to him and being he has 46 years experience in dentistry and a good rep, i decided not to pursue my concern any further. However, a few weeks on i was still seeing the gap, and food fragments were dissappearing under the gum line, and reappearing the next day along with saliva, lastly, today i found the gap although still looking small, has dropped down enough for me to actually place a finger nail over the top of the crown.I plan to revisit the dentist and tell him all what i’ve told you, my question is, would any reputable dentist ignore this situation? yours sincerely

I would definitely speak to yo… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My front teeth and the one at the other side are crooked should i have a braces again

Sunday, May 24th, 2009
Q.
Hi I had a brace when i was a teenager and this was taken off in 2001. Afterwards i temporarily had a retainer but then i had a piece of metal wire bonded behind my top teeth and bottom teeth, so that i no longer had to use the retainer. While i have looked after my teeth i’m ashamed to say that i haven’t been to a dentist since then nor am i registered with one. About 9 months ago the metal behind my top teeth snapped and i had it rebonded at the dental hospital where i went as a child, this happened again about 2 months later and i went back there again. However, yesterday i bit into a sandwich and the metal pushed upwards into my gums, into what felt like an arch shape. I went back to the same hospital and had it rebonded but when i got home it had snapped again. After the bank holiday i will make it my priority to register with a dentist but my concern is that ive noticed that one of my front teeth and the one at the other side of it have started to move into the crooked position they were in before i started treatment and this is causing me quite a lot of upset as they were a mess before i had braces. Once i get registered with a dentist will they recommend i have a brace again because i want my straight smile back?? Thanks for the help.

I grind my teeth, which is better? Crown or Implant

Saturday, March 28th, 2009
Q.
Hi there Over about 20 years I have had endless fillings in my lower 5th tooth back from the middle which whilst flossing 2 months ago finally disintigrated leaving enough route apparently for route canal treatment and a crown according to two detists. However the first private dentist advised a dental implant instead of a crown due to the fact I grind my teeth fairly badly and said that a crown wouldn’t last. The NHS dentist which I have just seen knew nothing about implants and simply said she could do route canal and a crown, not really mentioning that it may not last due to grinding. So bearing in mind that I could afford an implant, am I better to just bite the bullet and get an implant done as opposed to a crown which according to the private dentist I may have to replace in a couple of years? Or is the private dentist just after more money? In addition am I better to go to a special centre that specialises in implants or register with a private dentist that does them? Also if I went the route canal and crown route someone said that nowadays they can fit very slim night mouth guards to protect teeth from night grinding and if so is this true because I had one about 20 years ago and felt like a gorilla in bed!! Thanks for your help

There are hairline cracks in the veneers and crowns on my teeth and the dentist says that it is due to grinding

Monday, March 23rd, 2009
Q.
I had veneers and crowns applied to the top 6 of my teeth 5 months ago. My two front teeth are actually crowns. I went in for a cleaning today and the dentist advised me that I have 2 hairline cracks. One on my front (crown) and one on a side veneer. He believes that I’m grinding my teeth at night and that is what caused this. I don’t think I grind my teeth at night. Isn’t it awfully early for me to be already getting cracks in the veneers/crowns? He is replacing both for free but does not know how well they will match the remaining 4 when complete and wants me to start wearing a mouthgard at night.

There is a huge misconception … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
