My dental bridge has gaps in it and is leaking, what should I do?

Friday, August 6th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Riten I hope you can help me. I have had a six bridge which includes crowns in the top front of my mouth for the last 25 yrs. recently there have been gaps between the tooth and gum on one or 2 teeth. My dentist has filled the gaps, but says that i need a new bridge as it is leaking. Can he not just take this bridge out and re cement it in again. I’m very confused and think i need a second opinion and the cost is working out quiet expensive. I look forward to hearing from you. ,

I’m worried it will carry on twisting and i will end up with it protruding, what should I do?

Friday, August 6th, 2010
Q.
Hey, I used to have upper and lower fixed braces when I was about 12 up until I was 19. The upper set was (apparently) pulling my jaw back inline as i had a slight over bite (u could just fit a finger tip in). I had the top set removed when i was 17 and the bottom removed at 19. My question is that I have noticed that within the last 3 or 4 months my top front left hand ( my left) tooth is starting to twist. The only way I can describe it is that it is like my teeth are moving forward and the right hand tooth is almost forcing itself underneith it. I wouldnt say that it causes me discomfort but I can feel the pressure of it twisting like I felt when I had braces. Do you have any ideas what may be causing this? My own dentist says that this sometimes just happens over time as we age however Im only coming up for 22!! Im worried it will carry on twisting and i will end up with it protruding, I didnt go through 7 years of pain for twisted teeth!,

I don’t want to have my teeth replaced with false ones, what are my options?

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
Q.
im a 42 year old female with very poor teeth. they r getting very loose all over i can feel thm shaky and i cant remember ever in my life being confident to show them off. im ashamed of thm and it gets me down constantly. i consider myself to be attractive apart from the teeth which i cover up with my hands when having a laugh etc. my boss at work tells me tht i dont have to have thm all removed and replace with falsies. this is wot i think ismy only option now. if i ever want to gain confidence in my apperance. i have totell u tht at the back of my mouth is like a derlict building with my teeth thru the years decaying etc. i had a crown fitted almost 16 years ago when pregnant with my daughter. it was at front next to my eye tooth. i had it 13 years until it fell out and i had tht replaced again but swallowed it by mistake and just never went bk to my own dentist again. the reason for this was because she was never very sympathetic with me and i felt i couldnt approach her or ask her advice. and if i was to be total honest with u i hated going to the dentist. lol. im regreting now thti didnt look after them and lay off the fizzy juice and sweets. its my dream to have a nice smile. is tht possible? id appreciate ur honesty even if its not wot i wanted to hear. lol. please can u advise me on which route i shld take. thank u x,
