Can you have a bridge if you are missing 2 teeth next to each other

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009
Q.
Hello, I had an abcess that damaged a tooth at the side of my mouth (bottom jaw) and caused the tooth to fall out unfortunatly it caused some damage to the tooth next to it and I am now left with the root of the tooth that fell out plus half the tooth next to it – Dentist said I should have the root extracted – he said the half tooth next to it should also be extracted because he can’t save it (he did say I could leave it in as its not causing me any pain but won’t leaving it cause damage to my gums and other surrounding teeth? Also suggested I could have dentures to replace the 2 missing teeth on the NHS – how will they fit / feel – will I have to have some sort of plate in my mouth to keep them in place(won’t this feel uncomfy like a brace) could I not opt for a bridge instead as I understand you can have a bridge on the NHS but not sure how they work – can you have a bridge if you are missing 2 teeth that are next to eachother – scared about having 2 teeth out and being left with a gap or having dentures – I am only 35 can you please help advise me best course of action. Thank you

My front teeth are look very large is there any treatment to help me

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
I am 20 years old and have healthy teeth. I have no fillings and I’ve always taken great care of my teeth. When I was younger I had braces for quite a few years and my teeth are pretty much perfectly straight from the treatment. My two front teeth look very large to me, they are longer than my other teeth. It appears that my teeth are all at slightly different lengths and my gums are all at different levels on different teeth. I was wondering if there are any treatments out there that would help my teeth look more even.

what is the time for my adult teeth to erupt after losing baby teeth?

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
Hi I’m 15 and still had two baby teeth (my canines). I got xrays and it revealed that my adult teeth were sort of coming in.. So my orthodontist recomended i get them pulled so i did. Its been about 1 month since i’ve gotten them pulled, i can see them through my gums and they hurt a bit when i touch that area.

I am not happy with my temp bridges can you advice?

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
I got a fixed bridge about 10 months ago and my dentist told me it was a temp/perm bridge and it should last 1-2 years. I recently had to get it recemented, so while I was there I asked if they could fix one of the teeth on there as it had a gap from my gumline and I was getting food caught in it. The dental assistant or whatever her title is ended up making it look completely unnatural and it doesnt even feel right now. I expressed how unhappy I was with the situation and they now said that this bridge needs replaced with a permanent one and that the one I have now is pretty must expired. I have no idea how to handle the situation and I dont know why they did this to me. Is there such a thing as a temp/ perm or should they have given me a perm in the first place? Help!!!!
