My four year old daughters front teeth is growing crooked at 90 degree angle

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Q.
Hi I have just visited the dentist with my four year old daughter. This was a routine check up but I have had concerns regarding her top front tooth. It is growing crooked at a 90 degree angle. the dentist advised me he is not going to do anything for a few years because og her age. Is this correct? Could this cause any long term problems if it is left this long ? I am just concerned that his reaction is about cut backs.I would value a second oppinion on this please. Thanks

Will I be able to have two front teeth again? Can the gap be opened up again to fit two front teeth? Can my lateral incisors ether side be used to create a bridge for four teeth?

Monday, March 30th, 2009
Q.
Hi Can you help. I’m 31. healthy teeth no fillings. I had both of my upper central incisors knocked out in my late teens. One was saved but the gap wasn’t filled. Unfortunately the gap got smaller. Over time the saved tooth had to be extracted, as the gap is only wide enough for 1 front tooth I had a Maryland bridge fitted. I have had this now for 4 years. The dentist that did the work assured me if the bridge came out he wouldn’t charge me because it was part of the treatment. When I had to return to have it re-fixed he charged me and said he would continue to charge!! This caused conflict and I haven’t returned since. I am very apprehensive to trust a new dentist and quite embarrassed about my situation. Will I be able to have two front teeth again? Can the gap be opened up again to fit two front teeth? Can my lateral incisors ether side be used to create a bridge for four teeth? Sorry if it sounds complicated Any comments would be appreciated Thanks

Advice on cosmetic dentistry

Monday, March 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi there I require some advice on both cosmetic dentistry and dealing with an anxious ( to say the least ) patient. I’m 27 and I require some dental work the cosmetic part being my front tooth now is slowly eroding and decaying truthfully now it’s getting worse and I’m starting to avoid speaking to people. My back teeth are in quite an awful state now as well. throughout my life being a neglected child and turning for a short period to making myself sick and again truthfully neglecting my own dental health. The upshot being I’m terrified of needles. Over the years I’ve had some treatments usually via force but never found a dentist that has been patient enough to treat me long term. Either that or use sedation such as Ketamin or at least 8 general anaethetics neither of which I was happy with. WHilst I’m not in any pain I do feel I need to at least start seeking some help before I lose my front tooth and suffer other consequences as a result of my back teeth being the way they are. Ideally I’d like to see a dentist who will see me not in the dental chair just a one on one discuss a basic plan with me. I’m happy to work with hypnotherapy (I have given birth twice and self hypnotising not required or wanted any pain relief) When I search I can’t find any in the local area is there a directory? For the interim I will not be able to have any pain relief in any form nor have lengthy treatments because I’m breastfeeding my young son. Thank you very much for your time
