My incisor teeth have become very sensitive. What can I do to protect them?

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010
Q.
My front two incisor teeth have become very sensitive. This happened quite suddenly when I was at a cinema and eating sweets. The bottom lining of my incisor has become very sensitive, this sensitivity is exacerbated when I suck air through my teeth and I can feel the sensitivity. This occurred over the past few days and immediately I have switched to pro enamel toothpaste and I am going to make an appointment with my dentist about this. I am 20 years old, and while I have not taken great care in the past (I had 2 root canals) nowadays I am quite meticulous about my dental care, so this occurring now is quite baffling. I use an electric Oral B toothbrush and I don’t know the reason for this, has my enamel worn away due to excessive brushing or poor care taking. This sensitivity is heightened when I eat food which predominantly uses my incisors such as sandwiches or snacks. What should I do to protect my teeth?,

Can to recommend a solution to correct problems I’m having with front teeth?

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Glaister, I used to suck my thumb as a child, and when my upper wisdom teeth came out, my front teeth got pushed forward. I had the wisdom teeth removed, and was given retainers, which I wore for almost 3 years. My problem is that my front two teeth are positioned a little lower than the rest, especially on the right side of my mouth, where my incisor sits above the rest of the teeth, as it began to grow over my milk tooth. So when I laugh, my teeth are not perfectly aligned in height. I also feel as though my teeth protrude just a fraction over my bottom lip when i smile. I am now 24. Could you please tell me whether there is a solution to this at all, and if it involves braces, a quicker way of correcting this? Thank You.,
A.
Yes braces may be the best cos… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What can I do to reduce the size of my central incisors?

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q.
Hi, My central incisors are rather large compared to my other teeth, I saw on the internet that the average size of the crownisabout 6mm and mine are well over 10mm. When I was younger I had a brace to bring down my canine teeth, this brace re-aligned my teeth nicely, however my central teeth still look(ed) large in comparison to the others. I have always been really consious about my smile and would love to have a smile that I am comfortable with. So, I was wondering what action I could take to reduce the size of my central incisors and a rough estimate of how much this would cost. Thanks in advance.

Is it necessary to have veneer for protruding right incisor?

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009
Q.
My upper left incisor is slightly discoloured and worn. The right incisor is slightly protruding. My current dental prectioner is Luton has shaped the tooth and prepped it for a veneer (yesterday). There is sensitivity in the tooth. I’m not enthusiastic about veneers, as he has already veneered the canine tooth to the left of the incisor he has prepped. The cost of venner is £400. He would like to veener the protruding right adjacent incisor, however I have refused to veneer a healthy tooth. So he has suggested contouring. Shouldn’t I just have had the left incisor contoured and not veneered?

It sounds as though you would … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What ball park figure would be acceptable for having implant?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
I am 63, had five front teeth ( 4 incisors and one cuspid) removed between the age of 17 and 21. I have all my other teeth intact. I have never got used to a partial, and wondered if there was anything else I could try at my age and so long after removal. ie implants of some sort. I know that if there is not enough bone left it can theoretically be grafted from elsewhere, but realistically, do you think this is possible and what sort of ball park figure would I be looking at if it were?

A.
This is possible but you will … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
