I Have Recently Bought A Home Teeth Whitening Kit, And Would Like To Know Which Foods To Avoid?

Wednesday, October 16th, 2013
Q.

Hi,
I have recently bought and had fitted a home teeth whitening kit from my dentist following fixed braces being removed.
I have started a 2 week process but I am really concerned about what I can and cannot eat, I am trying to avoid drinking tea but have been given various different recommendations by friends, etc. Can you please tell me if I should only eat white foods ie, pasta, rice, bread or if I can eat most foods but avoid tea/coffee/curry – can I eat meat or should I just stick to fish or chicken?
A detailed list of what to avoid would be really useful. I am drinking hot water in place of tea and am experiencing a tiny bit of sensitivity, I have only started 1 application of 6% strength so far. Kind regards.

Hi Mark, I Really Want To Sort My Teeth Out. Would You Be Able To Recommend Any Clinics Around London?

Tuesday, September 24th, 2013
Q.

Hi Mark. If you don’t mind I’d like to ask you a couple of questions. I really want to sort my teeth out, I’m not happy with the colour of them and would really like to straighten them, especially at the front of both the top and bottom sets. I’m a London cab driver so a clinic in London would really work out best for me. Would you be able to recommend any clinics around this area? I’m not too fussed about the cost I just want them sorted to the best standards as possible. Thanks mate, hope you can sort something out for me.

I’m Pregnant And I Want To Know If I Can Get Crowns Fitted Through The NHS?

Thursday, September 12th, 2013
Q.

Hi, hello, my problem is that I’m eight weeks pregnant and have very bad discoloured teeth, do you know if I could get crowns free on the NHS? I am twenty one years old and I have always had quite bad teeth. The dentist told my mother that there is only had one layer of enamel on my teeth. She paid for me to go private when I was a teenager but I have a front right tooth which is nearly orange, please can you help me? Do you think they should be crowned and will I have to pay? I’m afraid I cannot afford to pay for them and it is really bad looking and it’s really getting me down. I hope you can provide me with the advice I need. Thank you for your time.

I Need To Know If I Can Have A Tooth Replacement Via A Crown Instead Of Having To Wear Dentures?

Monday, September 2nd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Patel, I need to tell you that I currently have a missing front tooth, and I am wondering if you know whether I can have a false one fitted via a crown, instead of having to wear dentures? I have stopped smoking as to help my dental hygiene and have lost most of my lower back teeth as well. My other related problems are that I get chronic indigestion and sore gums, and I have stained teeth due to a medicine I was given as a baby and had crowns fitted fifteen years ago to make me have white teeth. I keep on top of my oral health and brush my teeth twice a day and I also use cordisol mouthwash. I really hope you can guide me in these matters, kind regards and thank you.

How Can I Properly Whiten My Stained Composite Veneers?

Tuesday, April 9th, 2013
Q.

I have composite veneers over my front four teeth and I am looking to have them whitened (they have stained a little over the time I have had them on)
Are there any forms of whitening/ ingredients I should be staying clear of?
I wanted to complete a course of in-surgery lazer whitening but since having it done before I had my veneers put on, it has been made illegal.
Any advice on what would be the best way to bring my veneers/ teeth to their original colour?

Thank you

My Fillings Have Stained My Tooth, What Can Be Done?

Monday, March 25th, 2013
Q.

Hi there,

I have two very large amalgam fillings in my first molar (?!) on ether side of my top row of teeth and they have stained what little remaining tooth I have left a horrible grey/black colour. When I first had them done I didn’t realise they were going to be so far forward and visible in my mouth (4th tooth along from centre on either side). Every time I smile and even speak they are visible and I absolutely hate them. They have ruined my confidence and I have seen my dentist about replacing them but he says they are too large and even more of the tooth would have to be removed. I guess he is right but after years and years I just want to be able to smile properly without covering my mouth!

What options are available to me please?

Thank you.

I need treatment for teeth staining but have a fear of dentists. What can I do?

Monday, December 3rd, 2012
Q.

I spent years in the forces but despite this I have a fear of dentists and therefore have not been to a dentist for over 25 yrs. I feel my smile and teeth are holding me back in my career, they are all in tact but discoloured and stained and not a smile anyone would be proud off.
The trouble is I can not afford to correct this are there options as I do feel it is holding my career back?
A straight perfect smile is as much of importance as clean polished shoes I have tried everything to clean my teeth to no avail and I see treatment would cost thousands of which is beyond my reach.
I don’t know what to do or where too turn as i think it is now out of control.

It depends on the type or stai… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

How can I treat my misaligned teeth and bleeding gums?

Wednesday, September 26th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I had braces about 5 years ago now and never really wore a retainer. I’m 19 and there is 1 tooth at the top that has moved slightly and 6 at the bottom. I don’t really want braces again and also my teeth are in quite bad condition. ( bleeding gums, discolouring) I was thinking about veneers but was wondering what you think would be the best treatment to get my straight teeth back . I didn’t know if I could have only them 7 teeth replaced or if it had to be all of them. Also how do I go about getting this done?
