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

I had 2 implants in the upper front jaw. Since that

Saturday, March 28th, 2009
Q.
I had 2 implants in the upper front jaw. Since that time I have had sinus infections that clear up with perscriptions and then come back within a couple of weeks. When the implants were put in I had a little blue pill that was to relax me and make me forget any uncomfort. But while the last implant was going in I woke up with major sinus pain (nothing during the drilling or first insertion). I still remember the pain. The next day I contact the periodontist to say I had major sinus pain and cold like symptoms. Could this be related?

A.
Possibly, it depends how close… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Restorative work and Orthodontics

Monday, March 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hello. I am 50 yrs old and was treated for severe periodontitis in Feb 2008. I already have overcrowded teeth and they are now protruding because of drifting. In addition I was told I suffer from bruxism. I have always had dental checkups and been assured “everything was ok” in spite of complaing about recession around a crown an pain on biting. I am destroyed by how my teeth now look and am suffering panic attacks and depression. All this was a huge shock as I had no idea. I want some restorative work, but my new dentist has suggested I think about orthodontics instead. I’m not sure the teeth will have a good appearance even if I endure it as they are now yellowing with large gaps. I have nearly sent myself mad looking at solutions on the web and am terrified of choosing the wrong dentist after a catalogue of poor treatment in the past and also am not in a postion to pay a colossal amount of money. Am I doomed to dentures? Thank you.

A.
You are definately not doomed … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
