What are the best possible treatments for yellow teeth?

Saturday, October 10th, 2009
Q.
I have quite yellow teeth,always have since a child. I have recently had bone grafts in both upper and lower jaw due to peridontal disease.Which i am told has been stopped.Now i need 4 crowns.I would like whiter teeth before the new crowns are made.The dentist told me that as i smoke the results will only last a few months?.So i may have to opt for two veneers on the canine teeth,which are the darkest teeth. I live in Cyprus ,so a UK visit is not an option with dental costs involved. What do you think about whitening as opposed to the 2 veneers. Do you have any contact info of a clinic that uses the enlighten system in Cyprus. For over 30 years all i ever wanted was a nice smile, now im confused and wary!!!Please help.

Gum swollen and numbness problems after Molar filled

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Q.
I got my upper left Molar filled about two weeks ago it was a deep filling I was told almost to the nerve. Now I am having numbness on my left side tongue, all the outer parts of my cheek, and only half of my lips,and some of the outer skin surrounding my lips. This is all however on my left side only. My gum is a little swollen around the tooth but nothing very prominant. Will this go away or has there been trauma to the nerve? I have had it for about a week now. I also have Multiple Sclerosis and want to make sure it is not related to this since the pain came on a week later. Please help!! I do not have dental insurance so I don’t want waste a trip to the dentist if I don’t need to. This also has affected my taste of things.

My white composite filling is ruff and is concave in shape

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
I recently had an old amalgam filling removed by an NHS dentist and replaced with a glass resin composite filling and topped at the end with a white one because it was so large. I ended up having to pay for this privately as the NHS don’t do white fillings. My only problem with it now is that it feels rough and rather than it being shaped to look like the contours of a molar, my dentist left a concave shape in the middle of it. Is this normal? As far as I was aware white composite fillings are supposed to be time consuming, but somehow my dentist did three of these in 40 minutes.
