my teeth are stained a kind of yellow

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
Q.
Hi Ok i hate my smile, my teeth are stained a kind of yellow and i have cavities.My biggest fear in the world is the dentist everytime i go i have a panic attack and it makes the treatment more stressfull for me and the dentist. I wonder if you can help me, by having sleep dentistry is it possible for me to have fillings, teeth whitened etc all in one go whilst asleep? Then i feel that if i had a better smile then i would take proper care of my teeth. The problem is that im ony 16 can i still have treatment done at this age? and roughly how much would it cost? If you could let me know then it would be great, because having a new,nicer smile would give me the confidence that i need and you would be a lifesaver. x

I am considering buying a home whitening kit via the internet

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008
Q.
Hello Dr Tennet I am considering buying a home kit via the internet to whiten my teeth. I have one veneer – upper front, and I wanted your advice on whether or not the whitening process will in any way interfere/damage or even make it a different colour to my own teeth? Also, is there a particular type/brand of kit you would recommend? I know that some brands are offering a laser plasma light to accelerate the process – What should I be wary of? Finally would you advice me to do this at home? I can’t really afford dental prices…. I have sensitive teeth and gums and already use a toothpaste for this problem. Many thanks for your time

Monday, November 24th, 2008
Q.
Is Chlorine Dioxide a legal substance. If so is it harmful to the enamel. I have had laser teeth whitening with an organisation that practices a non-bleach technique with this gel. A gentleman that I work with has researched this and came up with nothing but a friend of his is claiming that it is harmful to the enamel. Please confirm if this is or not the case. Thank you

I am 21 years old i have three gaps in the upper jaw

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008
Q.
Dear Expert, I am 21 years old. Since I was a child I had been unhappy about my teeth. I have gaps between them – 3 in the upper jaw and 5 in the lower jaw, all in the front. In addition to this, my teeth in the lower jaw are very small. My parents or dentists I had visited in the past were never concerned as my teeth were always very healthy, and I was also told that braces would not help as my teeth are either too small or moving them would cause more serious problems. After many years of ignoring the problem, I feel that I should no longer be afraid to smile widely and would like to do something about this. In addition to filling the gaps, I would like to whiten my teeth. Could you please let me know what I should start from, what kind of procedure may be involved and what are the potential (approximate) costs?

A.
Treatment for gaps is often ei… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
