Hello there Dr Moore. I hope you can help me out. I have quite pointy teeth (canines) and I sometimes I hurt myself when I accidentally bite the inside of my cheek. I’ve been researching a few treatments on-line but I’d like more information on treatments which could help me. Do you know if there any way pointy teeth can be crowned or re-shaped? How much would this cost and which treatment would be least invasive? Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing your reply.
Hello Dr Moore. I saw my new dentist today who said I needed veneers on my four front teeth. I’m currently exempt from charges. Will this treatment be done for free?
I didn’t ask her as she seemed to be saying it while knowing I was exempt.
She was very helpful and I’m sure she would have mentioned if I had to pay. I’m so glad I have found this surgery as my last dentist really did not seem to care and did very bad work on my teeth. Thank you for your reply.
Hi Mark. I’ve had a lot of trouble with my teeth in the past and I’ve had corrective treatment. I turned down braces due to a metal phobia and at the time (I was 16) my parents could not afford the invisalign braces. I’m now 18 and as the dentist warned me that my teeth would move (this is due to having my 2 fangs out as they grew in front of my teeth with two flat ones behind them. I really want veneers and the question is how much does it cost per tooth. I’ve researched loads but haven’t ever found an accurate price!
Hello Mark. My front tooth has cracked and a piece has fallen out, but this tooth has also had root treatment done to it and since then has started to rot at the back and two bits of tooth have fell off. What would be best for me to do? I always have to get sedation when I go to the dentist and I’m very scared of going. I don’t know what would be best or what I can get as the tooth is rotten. What do you think I should get done and when should I get it done? Due to work I can’t get time off for about 2 weeks.
Hello Dr Moore. I have a question for you that I hope you could help me with. Which treatments are there currently available so I can have my lips altered and have my teeth seen more whenever I smile? When I smile my lips cover up both sets of teeth. What kind of costs would I looking at for this type of treatment? It really annoys me and it’s something I’ve had to put up with all my life. I look forward to hearing from you, thank you for your time.
Do you get discount if you need a full set of veneers? I hate my teeth I have gaps and they are discoloured. I have spent a fortune on teeth whitening, only to be in pain afterwards. I must have sensitive teeth. Some of my gums are receding hence I get a lot of pain after the teeth whitening, plus it only lasts a short time then it goes back to dull again. Is there any other form of dental treatment that could help me with this? Thank you for your time. I hope to hear from you.
Hello Dr Moore. Is there any treatment you know of that can enhance the look of your teeth if you have gum disease? My gums are shrinking due to an inherited condition. My teeth look okay but as time goes by it’s starting to look like there are holes between my teeth at the top near to the gum. I am 53 and have a huge fear of false dentures.
I have never smoked but I drink socially.
I clean my teeth twice a day
I visit a NHS dentist regularly for scaling and polishing. I would just like to my teeth to look healthy. Thanks.
My teeth are not the best they are not straight but I don’t mind that but they are very discoloured from medication as a child. My dentist says I have very good health teeth but the colour bothers me so much that I very rarely go out and when I do I try wear something that covers my mouth. I haven’t been in a photo in 2 years because I’m to ashamed of what my teeth look like. And the worst thing I do is mumble a lot so that people don’t see my teeth as I’m talking. It has been a few years now that they have been discoloured and it really effects my confidence when going anywhere because I always think that people are looking at my teeth and talking behind my back about it saying look at his teeth if you don’t brush yours they will turn out like that even though I do brush and floss. I work full time in a call centre so that no one can see my teeth. I do have a okay wage but no where near enough to afford thousands of pounds or all new teeth. So is there anything that could be done through the NHS or anything else?
Hi Dr Hughes. I have a really bad over bite and I’m in need of braces. Which ones would be best for a severe over bite? I had a jaw operation when I was 13. My teeth were really straight then and I needed veneers on my 2 front top teeth. That’s when my teeth started to move out again. I have not got a massive budget have you got any cost effective suggestions please as what I could do to make them look better, as I have little to no confidence. People always glare at me it’s so embarrassing. I would be very grateful for you advice.
Hello Dr Andrew Moore. I hope you can help me with some advice. My age is 28 and I have white spots on my front teeth. Do you have any idea what causes this? What should I do to remove these white spots and what is the treatment called to remove these white spots?
Shall I go to my dentist for treatment and is there any permanent solution to solve this and let me know whether it is a temporary solution. Thank you for your help and advice in advance.
