I have particles getting stuck between two crowns, what can be done?

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr, I had two crowns put next to eachother on the lower jaw at the far back a year ago.While I was waiting with temporary ones they came out a few times and so I had to have them re-done and on the last occasion there were a couple of days with nothing on them. Ever since I always get meat trapped between the two crowns which can only be removed by flossing. This is awkward if I am out and so I have to have a vegetarian option or be careful to chew on one side only as it often feels uncomfortable with the meat stuck. My dentist says that nothing can be done and that he has the same problem. Is this correct? The original tooth was badly broken.

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
I had orthognathic surgery where my lower jaw was meant to be moved only. I found out after the surgery my upper was moved too…impacted and advanced and has caused unwanted facial changes. Can this be reversed. Can my jaw now be setback and downgrafted…I do not wish to take legal action…just to get this rectified.

Is bridge treatment the answer for my jaw gap?

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q.
I have a gap on my bottom jaw. The 2nd tooth never grew when I was growing up. My dentist says I could have a bridge but I am reluctant to have good teeth either side filed down. The gap is not very big but is annoying and the tooth from the upper jaw is growing downwards to fill the gap. Would an implant work? I had an implant for a bigger missing tooth on the uppper jaw which is great but this gap is smaller.
