Q.

hi Dr Mark

i would like to ask you regarding to a problem that i have with a crown and veneer. i have just fited a crown and veneer recently but the problem have started since the day i fited them. with the veneer tooth i cant even bite at all, and if i touch it hurts like a bruise in a body. the crown one i feel a gap in the right hand side of the tooth and everytime i breath i feel pain because of that or eat smth cold or hot it hurts like a nerve. i have been several times to my dentist which thinks that everything is perfect and try to find the cause to other teeths. well for the crown one i use to have it before in crown but the dentist decided to replace it with new one for the veneer to match better. i must emphasise that when this tooth was on crown before didnt had any problem and felt like your own tooth.i m not using this teeth(crown and veneer at all) as they both are painfull and is a bigg thing for me as i cant chew nothing. could you please let me know your opinion in that!

My teeth are severely damaged after a car accident. Should I wait to get braces until my bite is sorted? Are braces suitable for traumatised teeth?

Q.
Dear Dr. Verma, I was recently hit by a car and sustained various injuries, including on my front teeth. One of the front teeth has moved inwards and has a crease on the surface.  My dentist cannot ascertain whether it is just a crease in the enamel or a deeper one. From the x-rays taken, it does not appear that the two front teeth affected are dead, but I have been told by my dentist that the one that has been hit the most may well fall in the future. To make matters worse, because the front teeth have moved, I am unable to bite properly.  I have done a lot of research online and am aware there are various ways to straighten my teeth, including Damon braces, Inman aligners, invisalign etc.  Is it advisable to use braces/aligners on traumatised teeth?  Is there a period of time I should wait before I can do so?  Would you recommend that I have a root canal and a crown at the first instance to get my bite sorted?  Is there a way I can strengthen the enamel of my front teeth, i.e. enamel coating etc?  What would you advise is the best course of action?  Many thanks for your time and help.,

Is there any treatment for discolouration of gums, which I am told is caused by dead nerves?

Q.
Hi, When I was younger I fell and smashed my two front teeth so I now have crowns fitted in place. My gums are slightly blackened where the crown meets the gum line, I have been told this is due to the dead nerves in the gum? Is there any treatment available for this discolouration?,
