my third tooth is twisted

Friday, December 12th, 2008
Q.
Hi I was hoping you could give me an idea of what the best way of sorting out my smile would be and maybe a rough idea of how much it would cost. When i was younger my third tooth i think its called the canine grew twisted and closer to the front than it should have because of this my second tooth never grew so now i have one tooth in the middle of where two teeth should be with gaps on both sides. i don’t mind if my rogue tooth needed to be removed for the best results. But i would like to be able to smile properly as quickly and cheaply as possible as it is really beginning to get me down. Thank you in advance for your help & advice I look forward to hearing from you.

I have radiating pain in my upper teeth

Thursday, December 11th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have radiating pain in my upper teeth. I believed it is one of the upper molar. There is nothing wrong with the tooth but I can feel sharp pain radiating. Sometimes, the pain goes away entirely. The gums are bleeding when I floss. Do I need a root canal? I’m scared since I’ve already had two in the past month.

A.
You may have gum disease, a cr… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have a narrow mouth, inherited overbite

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008
Q.
Complicated question for you ,, Hi, I have a narrow mouth, inherited overbite combined with years of thumbsucking which has pushed my teeth out further. I have bone loss in from periodontist issues. I have some lose teeth as a result ,what I seek ( which I believe is doable with right person) is a combination of lumineers, cerdec, bridgework perhaps. What wont work for me is implants or dentures. I was told that I would maybe only have 5 years of having a nice smile before I ran into issues but 5 years for me is a lifetime, as Ihave never had a nice smile. I believe there is so much new technology happening that in 5 years harvard may have completed growing bone tissue plus there is just so many advances in everything. If i remove all my teeth to gain 20 or 30 years ( I am 47) I stand to lose out on keeping my teeth! Circumstances have put me in this predicament so my question to you is ,, is it possible to do what I want? We all have egos when it comes to our professions I am no different in my own, yet I can work out of the box, have you ever heard of what I ask?? Thanks

Part of my upper left molar came away during flossing

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
Q.
Part of my upper left 7 molar came away during flossing. My dentist began a root canal and then gave up on it due to my having denticle blocking off the roots. She then left the practice. My new dentist wants to extract the tooth (which is very sensitive to heat and cold)The tooth is the last one next to a wisdom tooth, and I’m worried about losing it. I’ve signed up to do a PhD- and the fees mean I have little spare cash for an implant
