Friday, June 19th, 2009
Q.
Hi, i am living in korea and visited the dentist here in order to ask about my tooth, its one of my top lateral teeth that has moved forward and towards my front teeth. The dentist said it was due to my wisdom teeth coming in, although i have all my wisdom teeth now. ihe advised me that i could either get a crwon put on that one tooth to make it straight or get my wisdom teeth out!! would a crown look obvious that it was fake? or would my tooth maybe straighten back to where it was if my wisdom tooth was taken out? im not sure which to go for and the language barrier is not helping as we discuss it all through a translator who ddoes not know much english either!!! thank you

Thursday, June 18th, 2009
Q.
I am in need of crowns fitting to my upper front four teeth and my dentist has quoted me 1400 pounds for the job, which as a student is a terrifying prospect. He said it will have to be done privatley but didn’t explain why. Is my dentist just trying to make money out of me or is there a limit to how much treatment you are allowed through the NHS?

Q.
Hi, I have recently had a crown and a veneer on my two front teeth, the crown came loose after a week and so when i went back my dentist put a harder cement in my gum, hoever when she has put the crown back in it has not been positioned correct and is no further forward than my other teeth.

my crown has fractured and it now feels like waffer thin what i need to know

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009
Q.
I had a porcelain crown fitted in October 08. The crown fractured at the back in April. The dentist who fitted the crown said it was not too bad and ground it smooth. Since then the crown has fractured again. It now feels waffer thin and will snap at any time. What I need to know is, am I entitled to this crown being replaced free of charge. It is a lot of money to pay and 6 month is not a long time considering they should last 10 years.

There is no standard guarantee… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I am 25, I have gaps in between and either side of my front 2 middle teeth please advice.

Sunday, June 14th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I had 2 front teeth taken out when I was younger. Either side of my middle two. I have had gaps for years and it has made me very depressed. I think the gaps have gotten smaller over time, and my two front teeth now have a small gap between them too, as if they have spread out. I have been reading about implants but this seams like it wouldn’t be an option as the gaps are now too small for replacement teeth, but too large for braces to pull them together. I am not sure what to do. I don’t currently have a dentist, this problem has been upsetting me for years I am now 25, and I have not been able to face the dentist since they took the teeth out when I was 19. Thanks.

My dentist has chose not to crown my root canal filling on my upper molar what do you think

Saturday, June 6th, 2009
Q.
I had a root canal filling on my first right upper molar two years ago, which my dentist chose not to crown.It recently split, and a portion on the front of the tooth was cut away above the root which left around 75% of the tooth in tact. This was built back up with appropriate “build up” materials. However my dentist still declined to consider a crown. I was originally with denplan but my dentist chose to switch to an internal private insurance scheme. I am over 60 years of age which may have a bearing on his decision.Do you think the tooth should be crowned ?
