Okay so, I am really nervous about what they are going to do to me and my teeth! This summer I am supposed to go to the dentists or orthodontists to see what they can do about the gap in my two front teeth. I am very nervous because I don’t know what I’m going to have to get. My gap is not super big but not very small maybe about 3mm? Anyways, I was wondering what they might do for me? I have heard of so many different treatments. The rest of my teeth are straight (as far as I can tell) so I don’t really care about doing anything to the rest of my teeth. Just the appearance of my two front ones. I have heard of braces, bonding, labial frenectamy or some weird thing like that? I don’t know if this matters but I do have a price of skin connecting my lip and my gums. I don’t know if other people have this too so I figured I would mention it just in case. I don’t think it is doing anything it is just sitting there.

I Had A Bad Experience With A Dentist And Have A Very Painful Tooth. Will The Dentist Make The Pain Worse Poking Around At It?
Tuesday, January 8th, 2013 Hello Dr,
I am 6 1/2 months pregnant and my upper back tooth is quite sore. in fact i am in intense pain everynight. Before pregnancy this tooth has a hole in it and a few years ago it gave me problems. However, I have maintained it myself as I had a horrid experience with a dentist when I was 19. I am 28 years old now. Can you advise me on what i should do. I am currently taking amoxcillin 250mg three times a day prescribed by my GP. Any advice and possible dental treatment that I could get when pregnant would be most appreciated. My concern is that after a trip to the dentist and poking at this tooth, i will be left is worst pain than i am in now.
Many thanks,
My Teeth Aren’t Straight. What Should I Do?
Tuesday, January 8th, 2013Hi Dr Andrew Moore, I hope I have come to the right place. My teeth are slightly not straight, not severely crooked but enough for it to be noticeable. It is mainly my front tooth thats out of line and its playing on my mind a lot and I am getting really self conscious about it I suppose. I don’t particularly like to go dentist often and try and avoid it as long as possible. I tend to not smile that much. What would you recommend doing for my teeth and would you also advise on the possible cost of such a treatment. Thank you very much, any advice would really help if you could just email me back when possible, it would be much appreciated. I look forward to your response, Thank you
Can sedation help me with my dental phobia?
Tuesday, August 30th, 2011I have a dentist fear of the dentistry tools and of the actual dentist and I hate needles. This has grown and only appeared a few years ago after having teeth whitening and it was with a dentist that let me suffer sensitivity whilst me telling them it was hurting my teeth an dthem choosing to ignore it I suffered terribly sensitivty and as a consqeunce mistrust in the dentisand therefore I always change dentists for things. I opt for iv sedation which doesnt do anything until I m ready or treatment but it is hard enough to get through the doors of the surgery. I need a hygieiniest clean and two teeth removed as a checkup said and Ii may need a filling. ? Can I also be sedated and get all of that done? Can I be sedated before I go in? The thought of seeing a dentist in a dentist room is beyond petrifying I wouldnt mind if the dentist came to my work. Is that possible at least I feel marginally in control. Many thanks,
