Can I send my dental photos for you to suggest a treatment?

Saturday, December 5th, 2009
Q.
Hi there – I am 50 and have a crown on one of my front “eye” teeth. It’s 25 years old. My front teeth overproject. My dentist has told me it would be unethical for him to replace my crown without doing about £10,000 of orthodontal work first. I have the detailed photos he took and could send them to you. I would like to improve the appearance of my teeth but am reluctant to do so much to them and in some ways my overbite is beneficial I think to my face shape. I would like a second opinion but if from the sight of the photos I am a hopeless case then I will just keep what I have!

A.
Hi, why don’t you send the pho… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Due to grinding I have gum receeding and loosing my smile.

Friday, December 4th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Tennet, For as long as I can remember I have suffered from bruxism. I sleep with a nightguard which my NHS dentist made for me but my gums seem to be receeding as a result of the grinding, which I think has now led to gum disease, and my upper anterior teeth are becoming very thin and I’m terrified of them snapping off altogether. I’m only 27 and hate my smile. My teeth seem to be wearing down and decaying very quickly and I’m terrified of having to wear a denture. Do you think crowns and possibly gum grafts may help me? I really don’t want to lose my teeth and my NHS dentist doesn’t seem to care.

A.
Wear, tooth decay and receedin… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

After root filling I have dark line on the gum please advise.

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009
Q.
2 months ago I had my teeth all made into crowns. Where I have a couple of implants and a root filling, there is now a dark line at the gum line. I have told my dentist about it and he says I should brush my teeth and make them bleed. I got a firm toothbrush and have scrubbed these gums and they will not bleed and the dark is still there. Also one of the teeth above these implants and root filling is very sensitive to cold and sometimes if anything hard gets into it it hurts. Because I am 68 years of age and went to the dentist for my teeth to be straightened, a decision was made by the dentist that I was too old for my teeth to be successfully straightened and that it would take a long time, that is why I have a mouthful of crowns. Is there anything I can do to make this ddark line around these 3 teeth disappear?

You need to discuss this with … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
