hello, i went to america last june and fell off my skateboard! chipped a tooth on the top jaw, and i think damaged the gum on the lower jaw, how can i tell if the gum loss is from the impact? i cant get a dental appointment till next week so ive looked online, when ive search gum loss it comes up with gum disease? bit worried! help!
I have a crown with a post (upper) that keeps falling out every couple of months. To begin with I had no problems with it. I would like to know if there are a variety of posts? Is there a post that would anchor the crown securly? At present it seems that it is a kind of “glue” that is being used to fix the crown.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you!
Hi I have been told that I have gum disease. I have had one of my molar tooth removed as it had become loose and another one is moving also.
Please advise the best treatment for this now and long term. I need to stop further tooth lose.
Firstly.. I am terrified of dentists, for a number of reasons.
Most recently I fell out of a 15ft window, landed on my face and now both front teeth are missing.
I stopped eating sweets altogether and anything else I felt could do more harm to my teeth.
Also I had a piercing in my lower lip which has made my gums recede very badly.
As you can imagine all this has put a lot of fear into me… I also suffer quite badly from dreams where all my teeth fall out.
I’m 30 years old and really do not want to put it off any longer.
The problem I have is that the plate with my now 2 front teeth on it seems to do more damage than good.
I desperately want to be able to smile but have got so used to keeping my mouth closed I never do any more.
I have extra money each month as I work 2 jobs, one of them I am in the public eye as a Dj and want to able to look my best.
I am torn as what to do.
In my opinion I need the works, gum work and veneers.
What is the best way to get this sorted. I have extra money but I’m not rich by any means.
Can you help?
Dear Dr Butt
I always had my fronth teeth sticking out but now I see they are coming forward more and more creating a gap. Is it possible to straight them up at my age of 61? psychologically I suffer over this therefore can you help me with your expertise?
