Hello Mark. I have fillings in the front of my teeth and my teeth are very discoloured from the dye and I’m not very confident. Is there anything on the NHS that can help me? My confidence is so bad that when it comes to job interviews I back out. Also talking to anyone I avoid it completely it’s really getting me down. I’ve quit smoking and on a healthy diet. I’ve looked online about teeth whitening but they don’t and won’t work on teeth that have holes, fillings or cavities. I really hope you can advise me on this. Thank you.

I’ve Quit Smoking And I’m On A Healthy Diet. Is There Anything On The NHS That Can Fix My Discoloured Teeth?
Monday, January 27th, 2014I’ve Not Been To The Dentist For 20 Years And My Teeth Are Becoming Discoloured. Does This Mean I Have An Underlying Problem?
Tuesday, December 17th, 2013Hi, I was wondering if you could help me. I havent been to the dentist for 20 years so a little bit worried about going. I have noticed of late I have a back tooth that is very sensitive and causing issues when I am chewing. I also have 1 wisdom tooth that doesn’t look great it looks really discoloured and another which hasn’t yet come through but you can see it. I am starting to get worried about my teeth as they all seem to look a little discoloured these days. Does discolouration mean I have bad teeth. Please help.
Regards.
I’m Too Scared To Visit My Dentist After Years Of Smoking, And Now My Teeth Are Discoloured. Will They Take My Teeth Out?
Friday, November 29th, 2013Hello Dr Hughes, I hope you can help me as I fear I have a dead front tooth as it is slightly discoloured and feels numb. Also my teeth are going see-through at the bottom. I am too scared to go to a dentist because I fear they will tell me I will lose all my teeth. Please can you tell me what to expect. I am 26 years old and I damaged my teeth with fizzy drinks and cigarettes but the dead tooth is from trauma. I have never had any dental complaints before but again I have not been to the dentist in over ten years.
My Daughter Swallowed Too Much Toothpaste When She Was Young And Now They Are Really White On The Bottom. Is She Too Young For Treatment?
Thursday, November 28th, 2013Hi there Dr Moore, my 10 year old daughter’s two front teeth are really white on the bottom half. Our dentist has said she probably swallowed too much toothpaste when she was younger which has given her this appearance. He seems reluctant to give me any advice on cosmetic procedures, I appreciate she is a bit young but we would like to think there was hope as she is starting to become embarrassed of it now and I don’t want her to be teased about it at school. I would appreciate some good advice with this matter. Thank you.
Hi Mark, I Really Want To Sort My Teeth Out. Would You Be Able To Recommend Any Clinics Around London?
Tuesday, September 24th, 2013Hi Mark. If you don’t mind I’d like to ask you a couple of questions. I really want to sort my teeth out, I’m not happy with the colour of them and would really like to straighten them, especially at the front of both the top and bottom sets. I’m a London cab driver so a clinic in London would really work out best for me. Would you be able to recommend any clinics around this area? I’m not too fussed about the cost I just want them sorted to the best standards as possible. Thanks mate, hope you can sort something out for me.
I Have Discoloured Teeth And My Fillings Are Sensitive. Should I Go With More Than One Consultation?
Friday, September 6th, 2013Greeting Doctor. I have had fillings and route canal treatment done on my front teeth that continue to cause me problems as they are very sensitive and flair up often when knocked, infact my whole mouth is very temperamental and also my two front teeth have discoloured, they are a brownish colour in the front and black from behind they are really bad, and it means that I can no longer smile as it’s too embarrassing for me. I cannot have my photo taken anymore either as this makes them look worst my NHS dentist has suggested veneers or implants what would you suggest.
Many thanks.

Should I Opt For Internal Bleaching Or Veneers?
Tuesday, June 11th, 2013Hi,
I have two teeth that are discoloured caused by a trauma decades ago.
The colour became worse after an infection approx six years ago. Following this I had root canal treatment on the two teeth (over 5 years ago now). The root canal seemed to have worked as seen in later x-rays. However the teeth are now more noticeably discoloured. One more than the other.
Eight years ago I had whitening performed by a dentist that worked quite well but the above has reversed this.
On recent dentist visits, they have suggested that traditional whitening treatment may not work as effectively in the past. Their recommendation is veneers.
I am a little concerned at the invasiveness of veneers, risk of the final product looking artificial and weakening the teeth.
How do veneers compare with internal bleaching? (In terms of treatment and effectiveness.)
I am further worried I have no idea where to have this treatment performed in London. How much do either treatments cost? How much time do you need in between appointments?

Do My Circumstances Permit Porcelain Veneers?
Thursday, April 11th, 2013 Are porcelain veneers permanent? If no, then how long can one wear it.
is it comfortable to wear them? If no then what are the challenges.
do they have to be removed and washed at intervals? If yes then what are the disadvantages? I have a discoloured teeth as a result of childhood persistent illness.
