Would like to know the cause of my discoloured teeth?

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Q.
I am 50 years old and I had braces fitted to my upper teeth just over two & half months ago. Since having the brace fitted I have noticed that one of my front teeth is going grey at the top near the gum. What is the cause of this? Can I do anything to stop it or can it be treated once the braces come off?

Does filling fall out if its not capped?

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Q.
I have had many fillings in my front teeth (6-11). Some of them came loose after a couple months. My dentist said that he would like to cap these teeth. He said that my fillings will just keep falling out. Is this true? I have become very depressed about my teeth. I want to keep my teeth for as long as possible. I am only 30. What are my options?

Suggest me on getting perfectly straight teeth

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Q.
Hi Doctor, A few years ago I had a ostiotomy on my lower jaw bring the jaw fowards so my lower front teeth were up against my upper front teeth which gave a much better side on profile and better smile. However, this has resulted in my lower front teeth being rather prominent and so I am contemplating adding veneer to the upper front teeth to compensate because I don’t think they are long enough. How do you decide how long front teeth should be in comparison with lower ones ? I know each case is different but my upper front teeth are not perfectly straight so I don’t want to make a big mistake. Advice would be welcome..

Can I have root filling after veneer?

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have a front tooth whith veneer and it started feeling a bit tender and painful for a couple of months, my dentist is suggesting a root filling but being one of my front teeth I am very worried if it tuns out okay without any visible damage afterwards. The pain is not severe and is acutally bearable but feels tender. My dentist also says it might fall out at some point which is devastating for me. Can you please advise if I should get the root filling done and if there is any way to save the tooth.
