Can you advise me on the Six Month Smile treatment?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

Hi there
I would just like to hear your views on the six month smile treatment, i am considering getting my teeth straightened. I have over crowded teeth, the orthodontist said he would take a slither (small piece of enamel) from my teeth at the front to make a little more room. I am worried this mite damage my teeth and make them ache permanetly. This treatment seems to good to be true.
I would appreciate your comments

Friday, November 26th, 2010
Q.

My teeth seem to be wearing down. Its not terrible, but I’m getting worried about them because my enamel isn’t that great either. I just don’t want them to wear down anymore than they already have. Is there anything i can do to repair the wearing or reduce it in some way?

Is composite bonding aesthetically and durably the best choice when restoring chipped teeth?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

My 7 year old bumped heads today with a classmate and one upper front tooth and two lower front teeth have been chipped. We have been to the dentist who has said it is only enamel which has been chipped and they are confident there are no fractures, The lower teeth are too sensitive at present to bond with composite filling – it will have to wait til next week. I cannot help but feel saddened that he has chipped his permanent second teeth, Is the composite material hard wearing, natural looking and the best option at present? I need a positive opinion on this if possible, thanks.

What are the best teeth whitening options for stained enamel?

Thursday, November 18th, 2010
Q.
My front two teeth are discouloured and it is in the enamel caused by too much floride when I was growing up. I have tried tray bleeching kits via my dentist but my teeth are still noticebaly stained. I am interested in the laser whitening but I am not sure it would work and therefore would veneers be the best option? I would like all my teeth whitened but especially my front two. Would lazer whitening work on discoloured enamel or are veneers my best bet? How much would this cost (approx)?

Are there more permanent solutions than veneers?

Thursday, November 18th, 2010
Q.
Hello. I have suffered with eating disorders and it has eroded the enamel on my teeth. I once had a wonderful big, full smile and now my front teeth are paper thin and have shortened. I hate smiling now and i would love to get my smile back. I have veneers on the back of my 4 top front teeth but they dont look good and i dont feel secure with them – i would like a more permenant solution and teeth more like my own were before. Any suggestions or advice?,

My teeth are severely damaged after a car accident. Should I wait to get braces until my bite is sorted? Are braces suitable for traumatised teeth?

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr. Verma, I was recently hit by a car and sustained various injuries, including on my front teeth. One of the front teeth has moved inwards and has a crease on the surface.  My dentist cannot ascertain whether it is just a crease in the enamel or a deeper one. From the x-rays taken, it does not appear that the two front teeth affected are dead, but I have been told by my dentist that the one that has been hit the most may well fall in the future. To make matters worse, because the front teeth have moved, I am unable to bite properly.  I have done a lot of research online and am aware there are various ways to straighten my teeth, including Damon braces, Inman aligners, invisalign etc.  Is it advisable to use braces/aligners on traumatised teeth?  Is there a period of time I should wait before I can do so?  Would you recommend that I have a root canal and a crown at the first instance to get my bite sorted?  Is there a way I can strengthen the enamel of my front teeth, i.e. enamel coating etc?  What would you advise is the best course of action?  Many thanks for your time and help.,
