Is it normal to be missing the teeth like this?

Friday, August 27th, 2010
Q.
I’ve just come back from my dentist after a chech up – my old dentist has switched to private and so it was a new person that I saw. He asked how long ago I had my bottom lateral teeth removed? I told him I’ve never had any teeth removed and then he said perhaps they just didn’t grow. He showed me a picture of a set of teeth that had four teeth in the middle with the canines either side and pointed out in a mirror that I’m missing two. I do have two gaps of 3 or 4 millimeters but definately not enough space to put two teeth into. I have all 4 top teeth between the canines. Is in normal to be missing teeth like this, no other dentist has mentioned it before.,

Yes it’s quite common and noth… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Why does my fibre glass post and crown keep coming loose?

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr. Moore, I have had root canal treatment on one of my front teeth, which was restored with a fibre glass post and ceramic crown. This is the second restoration and unfortunately it keeps coming loose just like the first. I have considered an implant as a last resort but really would prefer not to have what is left of the tooth extracted if I can possibly avoid it. What my own dentist seems unable to tell me is if there is an alternative post arrangment (something like you would use during an implant procedure) instead of the smooth one I have which refuses to stay in place? I must add that this has been an onging problem for the last 10 years! I have good dental health otherwise and my gums are healthy. Thank you for your advice.,
