Ive crooked teeth and my front teeth over laps either side should I use the bands?

Sunday, October 4th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr. Basically here is my dilemma…i have a gap between my two front teeth and i would like it fixed… This is the problem i have a big fear of wire and needles in my mouth this means in the past braces have been difficult. I have some teeth effect bands but i am unsure of whether to use them… I have done much research and the three main problems that dentists have are that they can cause gaps either side of the teeth in question, they have been known to cause gum irritation and also that they are not a permanent solution. I have crooked teeth and my two front teeth over lap either side so the gaps arent a problem, also i would only use them durin the day between meals, this means i could be sure they do not slip near my gums. Lastly i realise that this diy dentistry would only be short term. I am basically asking what do you think for my circmstances? Should i use the bands? thanks.

My front tooth are shorter than the rest what are my option brace or veneers?

Sunday, October 4th, 2009
Q.
Hi. My front tooth and the tooth next to it are a bit shorter than the rest of my teeth. A friend of mine who is training as a dental technician suggested that a brace might be able to sort this out to pull the tooth down. Is this true? If not, would I have to get veneers? Also would it be best to have teether whitened before or after treatment? Thank you for your help.

Either option might work. If y… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My crowned front tooth is gray in colour Can i get them be re-done?

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
I got my two top front teeth crowned in 2007. As time has gone by they are looking more and more gray. Around the gum lines are darker, but the teeth are gray as well. I’m scheduled to have them re-done, but I’m curious as to why they turned gray, and if it is probable it will happen again after I get them re-done? I don’t want to waste my money if it’s likely to be a similar situation. Thanks.

My front tooth seems to be chipped even though I hadnt hit it on anything why?

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
I just started whitening my teeth with 44% carbamide peroxide gel I bought online. I’ve used it 4 times total… once a day for 5 minutes for the last 4 days. After the second use, I noticed my front tooth seemed to be chipped even though I hadn’t hit it on anything. Two more uses later, and the chip seems to be getting bigger. Everything I’ve read online says carbamide peroxide whiteners are safe and the worst side effect is tooth sensitivity, which I haven’t experienced. What is going on with my tooth?! Is it from the whitener??

I get my front tooth filled but it is very sensitive why is this?

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
I have my front tooth filled about 3weeks ago and ever since then my front tooth is very sensitive to cold and hot items when it touch the front tooth. why is this? Also, I had my back tooth filled about 3wks ago and it constantly hurts me. my whole left side of my face and jaw hurts and my head hurts. my dentist says the pain should go away in about two weeks that the filling needs to settle. My tooth is so sensitive. and when the dentist did the filling it was done real sloppy. there was filling overlapping on my tooth and it was very coarse. I had to ask for the filling to be cleaned up from the sides of my tooth and have it smooth out and this was the case for my front tooth also. very slappy. could this be the reason why my front and back tooth hurts so bad.
