Advice on gap between the back of the crowns and gums

Sunday, September 20th, 2009
Q.
I had an absess in my upper gum and even after treatment my tooth began to darken, last year I told my dentist this was a problem as it was at the front of my mouth and showed when I smiled. He chose to fit a crown, this was done last year and although I am getting used to it it still does not feel right. I have just been to a check up and mentioned my concern to my dentist but after checking it he says it is fine. I feel like there is a gap between the back of the crown and my gum and fear food, fizzy drink etc are getting in behind it, is this normal to feel this?

My husbands is losing his teeth what can be done to save them?

Friday, September 11th, 2009
Q.
My husband’s teeth are falling out, he has gum disease and regularly visits the dentist who more or less says that nothing can be done. His previous dentist suggested a mouthwash, which has made no difference. He cleans his teeth three times a day, uses floss and also the little interdent brushes. The dentist has also said that he will not be able to wear dentures as his gums are disappearing also. The latest tooth to fall out is near the front and now one front tooth is loose too. Surely something can be done to save his remaining teeth, could he ask for a referral to a hospital specialist? What can be done if he is unable to wear dentures? We desperately need some advice.

It does sound like it might be… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have a gummy smile can i get them corrected?

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have a 3mm overbite with a 2mm overjet. I have a gummy smile I want to correct. My teeth are straight for the most part but I wanted to know if lingual braces can correct the overbite and in hopes to correct my gummy smile if any. I was also wondering if my teeth are pretty straight and I have to do orthognathic surgery to correct this issue if I can have braces for 6 months and then have the surgery. I would prefer lingual though to give me less of a “horsey” smile.Thanks.

It is unlikely that braces can… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
