What is ‘Hard’ bite?
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009I have 4 tooth removed nd braces fixed but my jaw looks misaligned?
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009Q.
Hello there,i was wondering if you could help me.When i was about 12 i had 4 larger teeth removed towards the back of my mouth.2 on the top and 2 on the bottom.I had these removed due to overcrowding.I then had fixed train track braces fitted on the top and bottom of my teeth.I had these fixed for about a year but i had them removed as i was getting constant headaches and we thought this might be causing the problem.Since having the teeth removed and the braces fitted my appearence has totally changed.My jaw is completely crooked which is totally noticeable, especially in photographs where i cannot stand to look at myself.My face itself has become alot longer and thinner and the the pallet in my mouth has caved in.Instead of being a nice u shape it is much more like a v shape and it feels as though i am biting on the side of my teeth.When i have seen my dentists they say that there is nothing wrong but this has being really bothering me for years and it is my crooked jaw that really upsets me and i am desperate to try and sort this out and have a straight face again.Please can you help me.Look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

i had root canal work on my tooth but the pain persists plz advice?
Friday, September 11th, 2009Q.
Dear Dr Moore 6 months ago I had root canal work on my tooth, having been told that there was some decay and I would lose the tooth if I did not have it. It was a terrible ordeal for me as I am a very nervous patient anyway and the dentist clamped my face to my jaw with a metal clamp which I found unacceptable and was unable to tolerate. It took 3 hours and cost over £600. A few days ago I started to have an unremitting pain in my mouth, gums and cheek which seem to be encompassing the area where I had the root canal work. I fear from all the information I have been able to glean that I have an abscess and may have to lose the tooth. I have been to see my GP who doesn’t know what is causing the pain but has given me antibiotics and told me to see my dentist for ex-rays. I have an appointment on Tuesday but don’t see any point in having the ex-rays until the antibiotics have cleared up the infection. I will not go back to the dentist who did the root canal treatment (a specialist in root canal work and not my usual dentist) as I am absolutely terrified of him. The way he pulled and clamped my face showed complete inconsideration for a woman’s feelings and when I finally emerged from the dentist after 3 hours I was inconsolable from the ordeal that I had tolerated. If I do lose my tooth I will definitely want to have an implant. I am now on my 3rd day of taking antibiotics and as of yet the pain I am suffering is just as bad as on day one so I am not sure if they are working or not. Please would you kindly advise me of my options regarding treatment and what you see as the likely outcome. Kind regards,

Im 23 and am embarrassed with my teeth what can i do?
Friday, September 11th, 2009Q.
Hi Dr Moore Im 23 and am extremely embarrased at the state of my teeth. Toward the back I have lost two on the upper jaw, and have lost part of three teeth on the bottom jaw – presumably from caries. There are also small holes in two of my front teeth near the gumline I feel very nervous at the propect of going to see the dentist because I have neglected my oral healthcare, although I do brush regularly now – I was never really promted to during my childhood. I dont where possible want to have any, or many teeth extracted as I dont discuss my oral health with my partner – again, too embarrased as her teeth are great – she is registered with an NHS dentist wheras I am not and have been reluctant to do so because i feel the way i do. What other options are there to retain as many of my current teeth? i understand without an examination its difficult to say, but from a worst case scenario.. I especially do not want to have to wear dentures, so other options would be essential for this. I have done a bit of research into some of the options, but I thought i would pluck up the courage and speak to someone about it. Many thanks,

I filed my teeth years back i feel uncomfortable and my jaw aches advice?
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009Q.
Afew years ago i filed down my four front teeth and my four bottom teeth as i thoght it would make them look straighter, my top four front teeth were very long and overlaped wich they still do but only just. They now feel uncomfortable and my jaw aches on ocassions, i havent been to the dentist in afew years now and im worried about telling them what i did, but id love to get them fixed in some way to make them look and feel better, would veneers or crowns be a good option for this or something else that you could advice me on, also how much would veneers cost and would i need to have them on the 8 that i filed, any advice would be great look forward to hearing from you.
