Is There Any Way Of Finding Help With The Cost Of Veneers? My Veneers Are Discoloured And I’d Like Them Changed.

Friday, November 15th, 2013
Q.

Hello, Dr Shaffie. I am trying to find the cheapest way of having my discoloured veneers replaced. 5 on the front top set. I am so unhappy that they are all slightly different colours because they have been replaced at different times. Do any dentists put offers on?
I suffered from bulimia for many years and the bottom teeth are all eroded. I am not a person who has loads of money! Can you please advise me who would help me. Thanks I look forward to hearing from you.

Should I Get My Eroded Teeth Crowned?

Friday, May 17th, 2013
Q.

i am 38 years old. i have overbite problem, what is worse is that now my lower teeth have started eroding due to the problem. There is also acute sensitivity to temperature fluctuations which is very uncomfortable. Another major issue is that often when i am chewing my food there is quite severe pain which again is horrible. Doctors have advised me to go for crowning. Please tell me whether you think that this is the correct course of action. Presenlty i am in kashmir. Where I can go for it safely in kashmi? How much will it cost to crown with good material in kashmir? Does it require a specialist? Sorry for all the questions but I really need to get this sorted out. Thank you.

My teeth are very worn down due to severe acid erosion, how much should I expect to pay to have this problem fixed?

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012
Q.

Hi Doctor Moore, I am a 38 year old man who has suffered with bulimia for many years, it is now in remision. I have a fair amount of acid erosion and shortening of my teeth. I see my dentist every six months and he tells me my oral hygeine is very good. I am concerned about how my teeth look and how long they will last. I feel it my be time to get something done. I am an anxious patient even though I am a health care profeesional, my anxiety is also exacerbated by the shame of being a male with this illness. Could you tell me what my options might be and how much I could be expected to spend.

Why are my teeth eroding and what can I do?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

Hello,
I’m afraid the enamel on my front two teeth is eroding. I had braces for two years, and during this time, my teeth did not have that “clear” appearance on the bottom. Once I got my braces off, I noticed that my front two teeth were becoming clear. Since then, I have not been drinking soda and other acidic beverages. However, one of my front teeth has been chipping. Just tiny chips, but it still concerns me. Are my teeth chipping because of weak enamel? I do not eat very hard/crunchy foods, and I do not grind my teeth. I am only 15, and I take very good care of my teeth (I brush/floss twice a day, use mouthwash, etc). I do not want to get composite put onto my front two teeth because it must be replaced every few years and enamel must be removed in order for the composite to stick. I do not want to get veneers/crowns either, because they require shaving down the tooth. What should I do in order to improve the appearance of my “clear” front teeth, and perhaps strengthen the enamel?
Thanks!

Has dental sealant caused decay and discolouration?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

I went to my dentist and during my check up he noticed one of my fissures needed sealing as the back molar had fallen out years ago. My dentist asked me if I would like to have another sealant.
I am 27 years old and thought this was a bit weird as the first time I had these put in was when I was 7. So I went ahead and said yes to the fissure sealant as I thought any thing to save the tooth from further decay is worth it.
The next couple of days the plastic sealant feel out and I didn�t think any thing of it.
Next couple of weeks went by and I noticed a browner spot at the back of the molar, along with the big one I already see (where the seal was replaced). I researched on the internet about fissures sealants and realised there is an etching involved. Is it possible that my dentist could have caused a cavity in my tooth due to the acid etching? I mean is this possible? As I can�t recall seeing this before the sealant was placed?

Please can I have your honest opinion as then I will change my dentist. I am angry that my dentist will cause a filling/cavity due to the etching and now this fissure has fallen out.

Thank you for your time
