can u suggest an alternative for night guard?
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009Q.
Hi,I have recently been told by my dentist that the damage to my teeth is caused by grinding during the night.This is evident as i have very bad wear on my two front teeth.They are a lot shorter than my other top teeth and have formed an arch shape.It has got to the stage where people are noticing and i am reluctant to smile.I have been given a night guard to wear but i feel my teeth need to be treated with caps or veneers as well as the further protection that the guard will give,what do you recommend?

My teeth are crooked can anything be done to my incisors or canines.
Friday, August 21st, 2009Q.
When i was 11 i had a brace, it was,to pull my 4 top incisors out as they were not curved, but straight, making my canines look like fangs.This was a removable brace, with an extra piece at night that went round my head.Anyway, it didnt work and nothing else was done, i dont know why. It has bothered me ever since. i am almost 40 now, and i put my hand over my mouth when i laugh and try not to show my teeth. Can anything be done, either to my incisors or canines..ie filing them as they look longer than my insisors, making it look worse. Thank you for your time.

Due to my grinding habit i feel my bridges is coming loose any advice or suggestions
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009Q.
Last year I had a bridge fitted. The dentist used only the tooth to the right of the gap to fit the bridge to. However, whilst it looks good i find it most uncomfortable. I have been told that I am a heavy grinder although I didnt realise I did grind my teeth until this bridge was fitted and I find I am constantly grindnig on this bridge. Whereas before I was told that I only ground my teeth at night. I feel the bridge is coming loose as I can feel it moving slightly at times and when I floss underneath it I sometimes feel like I have slightly put it out of place but it usually goes back to normally within a few minutes. I would like it replaced or maybe refitted to both teeth either side instead of just the one on the right of it. The gap is, on my right side, the 3rd from my front tooth and the bridge is fitted to the 4th tooth to my right. Any advice or suggestions would be great, but I couldnt afford an implant, so thats out of the question for me. Many thanks for your help

Ive a severe acid erosion and bruxism what can i do and can i prevent further damages
Tuesday, July 21st, 2009Q.
Hi I am quite upset about recent findings from 2 different dentists that I have severe acid erosion and bruxism. 2 years ago I had no problems at all, although my diet/drinking habits have not changed. There are no problems with my gums or x-rays and I have never had a filling so now I am gutted about this. What I’d like to know is that I have been told different things by different dentists about the effects of swimming on teeth. I swim 3 times a week for 1 1/2 hours a time. This has been a new thing over the last 2 years. Could this be the problem and how can I check the PH levels of my local pool? My current dentist is insisting that I grind my teeth but I do not believe this to be true but at one time I was on a high dose of Citalopram and have read that this can cause grinding and I think it did in my case. I was on this for about 3-4 years. I am also a vegetarian and have been told this is the problem!!!??? so confused. What can I do and can I prevent further damage. I cannot stop swimming as this is now for me a form of anti-depressant. I am miserable. Thanks for you help.

The top surface of my two bottom teeth are starting to wear away what is the best solution
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009Q.
The top surface of my two middle bottom teeth are starting to wear away. What is the best solution for this from a cosmetic point of view, i go regularly to the dentist and he has never said anything about it, so I dont know if it is a problem I should be concerned about, it may be due to teeth grinding? Also the last time I went to the dentist and had a clean and he said it removed some of the enamel at the bottom inside of my middle lower teeth, this area has now never felt quite right since this, leaving a rough feeling – is there anything I can get done about this.

My permanent bridge is broken and my dentist says it is due to my grinding Is it correct?
Saturday, July 11th, 2009Q.
Dr. Bohara, I have a permanent bridge put on by a dentist in 2005. In 2009, it is broken. I paid $3000. She says that the bridge broke due to my grinding. The bridge has also damaged the bottom tooth. I consulted another dentist and he says that the bridge should be replaced at no cost to me. I went to the original dentist and she said that because I grind my teeth I broke the bridge and also have worn out my bottom tooth. She said that she would replace the bridge for 1/2 the price of $3,000. What are dental patients’ rights???? I did not like her office and I did not like her. I’ve also moved and I’m now 3hrs away. Thanks for your guidance.
