Best option for tooth grinding problem

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi I have a tooth grinding problem which has cracked a bottom tooth. My dentist has repaired this twice with a small filling but it keeps coming off. I went to my practice last week (met a new dentist) who suggested having a veneer which was ‘really tough’ and would not come off. I was quoted £700. However, my previous dentist said a veneer would not hold and he wouldn’t sell me one, he suggested a night guard £400, but I am not convinced I ‘grind’ at night I think it is when I chew food. My dentist raised the height of a rear filling to stop me grinding and now I am having trouble chewing food. I therefore have three expensive options (veneer, night guard or constant fillings) and have no idea what to opt for. Can anyone help? Regards

My bottom row of teeth is touches the inside row of teeth advice

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
Hi, Ive recently been to the dentist and have always had good teeth with no pain or alignment issues. But during my last visit my dentist said that my bottom row of teeth is making contact with the inside of my top row of teeth at the front. There has been some minor wear and my dentist says over time it will get to the point where the top teeth could break. Is there any treatment that is available for me and is it at all likely that my teeth could break over time? Thank you
