Advice for teeth straightening in West Wales

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009
Q.
I am 32 years old, my teeth at the front top and bottom over lap baddly. I have decay on the gum line and discoloured teeth. I use a phillips sonic tooth brush and all the usual and have for years. I have not looked at my teeth in a mirror for 2 years. 2 days ago I bit a label of a new jumper and a chip came of my bottom tooth! I have asked a number of dentists about straightning my teeth (as they comment that they are bad and why had nothing been done when I was younger) but they tell me I will have to go somewhere else and offer no advice! What can I do about my soft enamel? Where do I go for advice about straightning my teeth? I live in West Wales and dont want to travel to London. Help me please, Thanks

i have a damaged my front tooth that is discoloured

Monday, March 9th, 2009
Q.
I recently had an accident and damaged my front tooth. My dentist says that the tooth is dead. It has now turned a horrible colour. She said I need a root canal and then either tooth whitening or a veneer if the whitening doesn’t work. Would you be able to get the tooth back to its usual colour? How much would it cost?

my right front tooth has become discoloured

Monday, February 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hello, my right front tooth has over the years has become darker in colour and quite sensitive, I’m guessing its rotting as the enamel is crack . It is sensitive to brushing and cold drinks. What would be the best option to fix the tooth, my other teeth aren’t the greatest either but no where near as bad. I know teeth are important but fixing them are very expensive and money is not available, basically I want to be able to smile confidently without spending alot of money. Thanks for reading.

My teeth have now become an off white colour

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009
Q.
Hi there, Im 18 years old and lack self confidence due to the effects on my teeth from poor diet and lack of oral hygeine in the past. My teeth have now become an off white colour and have like whiter stains near the tops. i also have a few decaying spots on the top of two of my teeth towards the front. I am so embarrassed about them, i dont like to smile, i have even found myself mumbling when i am talking so that i am not revealing the full extent of my teeth. This is beggining to depress me now especially due to my age, I dont like socialising as much with my friends do due to the embarrasment, this also puts me off visiting a dentist! I am worried of what he/she may think of me. What treatment do you think is required and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

my teeth are stained a kind of yellow

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
Q.
Hi Ok i hate my smile, my teeth are stained a kind of yellow and i have cavities.My biggest fear in the world is the dentist everytime i go i have a panic attack and it makes the treatment more stressfull for me and the dentist. I wonder if you can help me, by having sleep dentistry is it possible for me to have fillings, teeth whitened etc all in one go whilst asleep? Then i feel that if i had a better smile then i would take proper care of my teeth. The problem is that im ony 16 can i still have treatment done at this age? and roughly how much would it cost? If you could let me know then it would be great, because having a new,nicer smile would give me the confidence that i need and you would be a lifesaver. x

I was considering getting Lumineers

Monday, December 1st, 2008
Q.
Hi I was considering getting Lumineers as I feel really that I lack confidence due to the current condition of my teeth. Looking on the internet, I couldn’t find any information on the cost of this or where I could get it done. I live in Edinburgh, Scotland. Is it really expensive? Because I am 18 years old and am going to University next year, I’m not sure I could afford really expensive treatment, but I really want something to change the way my teeth look, especially my bottom ones which are really ground down and mishaped and jaggy, they are all also quite discoloured and yellow-ish. Also in a unrelated question, I have had braces in the last year, which have since been taken off. The orthodontist applied a metal bar like thing on the back of my top teeth to keep them from separating , and said that I dont need to go back to him , and that the bar will come off itself. Is this true and how long does it take, as I think it is causing a metallic taste in my mouth. Thanks in advance for your help.
