Saturday, April 18th, 2009
Q.
Yes im 20 years old and in the past 2-3 years the enamel on the top of my teeth (near the gumline) has slowly be dissappearing. i believe its called the DENTINE that is exposed. its not bad and there not that sensitve at all. my question is, is their anyway to replace or fill in the missing enamel where the dentine is exposed. instead of getting veners. and could this be cause by some kind of calcium definecy? my mother was a calcium producer and my sisters teeth when she was born all had to be cap with silver. i was wondering if mine my have started in my later years? i havent had insurence for about 6 years so thats way i havent went to dentist. ive been brushing twice a day, no acidic drinks except gatorade 2 and water, and using crest enamel protection products. please and thank you

Hi im looking for some information for my mum. She has really bad teeth and gums, She has gum disease and her gums don’t cover much of her teeth any more, she has gaps between her teeth and they are loose. With her gums in such a bad way is there anything she can have done to give her a pretty smile again? Thank you for your reply in advance

My gums are shrinking and you can see the top of my crown

Saturday, April 4th, 2009
Q.
Good morning, Please can you give me some advice. My 2 front teeth have crowned. Originally I was pleased with the result of my crowns when they were fitted 4 years ago. The colour was perfect, and they looked like my teeth before I chipped them playing sport. But as I am getting older, my gums are shrinking so you can see the top of the crown (very unsettling) & they are not as white as my other teeth either. Would you recommend new crowns or vaneers? bearing in mind, I want them to look as real as possible. Thank you for your time

I have just been diagnosed with having gum diesase and my teeth are becoming loose

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Q.
I have just been diagnosed with having gum diesase and my front bottom teeth are loose, I have just had a crown on my upper front tooth which cost me £1200 pounds. what can I have done to my bottom teeth? I can’t afford £1200 per tooth and wouldn’t be able to have crowns or bridgework as the surrounding teeth would not support the loose ones as they are loose to? Many thanks

My gums seems to have receded

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Q.
I had a bridge fitted supporting 3 crowns and 1 pontic. while they look really good i feel that sometimes saliva goes through the top of the pontic and makes my speech appear as having a slight lisp. the gum had been damaged in the past with a blow to my mouth and the gum seems to have receeded. have you ever come across this before
