I knocked my four front top teeth out approximately 6 months ago

Thursday, December 4th, 2008
Q.
I knocked my four front top out approximately 6 months ago during an epileptic fit and i have since been wearing dentures. Does the amount of time since the injury have any bearing as to whether implants are possible? Thank you for your time.

A dentist recently recommended the best teeth brushing technique

Monday, November 10th, 2008
Q.
A dentist recently recommended the best technique for brushing teeth is by starting on your gum and flicking the brush to the tip of the tooth. This apparently decreases the likelhood of rubbing plaque etc into the gumline as well as decreasing the likelihood of receding gums. Despite the above advice, I notice many websites still suggest brushing your teeth in a circular motion. I write a youth newsletter and was going to put in it some ‘handy hints for maintaining healthy teeth’. What would you suggest I write and can I put your name next to it?

My usual dentist fitted a cap on one of my two front teeth

Monday, November 10th, 2008
Q.
My usual dentist fitted a cap on one of my two front teeth. I didn’t feel it was fitted properly and I now have quite a large gap in the middle. Last time I went I asked her what she could do, and she suggested bridges??? I explained that it was too much money and couldn’t she just re-fit the cap or a new one. She said it had moved due to me having slight gum problems (which I dont) and when she tried to wobble another tooth realised that was not the case. Please can you let me have any suggestions as it caues me probs when I’m eating and I am very concious of how it looks.

I have healthy teeth but want veneers

Thursday, August 14th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I have recently visited the dentist as I am conscious about the gaps I have between my four front teeth and I was wondering what options I had to fix this. However the dentist said that my teeth are really healthy and that I should think carefully before getting veneers and he suggested a brace which I don’t want. The rest of my teeth are great and have no gaps and are very straight. People who I know say I dont need anything doing with the front 4 teeth but I feel it would make me more confident. I have just looked on the net and found out about lumineers. Please give me your advice.Thankyou.
