My teeth have begun to crumble and I don’t know why, could you please advise?

May 1st, 2012
Q.

My teeth have become week since i had my children the first being 13 years ago and the last of 4 being 3 years ago, but within the last two months my teeth have began to crumble. I am not over weight and run atleast 3 times aweek, we eat at every meal fruit and veg.(mainly friut salad and salad). Although thinking about it we did have two littres of freshly squeezed oranges every day from november to january. could this have had a part in all of a sudden that my teeth have started to crumble? I am 40 but since november have started to have taccicardio and passing out on a daily basis. I was given at the end of feb almarytn 100mg per day my heart is better now and I dont pass out any more. But at the same time that I was given the new tablet it seems that my teeth problems started? brush my teeth 3 or four times aday and use mouth wash and have regular visits to the dentist. Apart from the reason I have outlined in this email I cannot think of anything else that has changed in the last couple of months? I would really like to know what I should do now? I have never had problems when I was younger my teeth were always strong and I have never really had an over sweet tooth and I hardly ever drink fizzy drinks. Thank you very much for looking at my problem and I look forward to your answer.

Q.

Hi. I am 22 years old, and I have 3 missing teeth. One of them really affects my confidence. It’s the upper left 1st bicuspid i believe. I don’t smile properly because when I do, it shows and I really don’t like it. The other two which are missing are the lower left and lower right 2nd molar, which makes chewing on either side quite difficult. I was considering having a bridge, until my dentist told me it might affect the health of the surrounding teeth. Initially, I would like an implant in my upper tooth, but it sounds quite horrific. I get a little anxious with some dental work. I have a couple of questions if you don’t mind: Would I be under general anaesthetic during the implant? How much would it be likely to cost for the 1 tooth? How long do they last? Does all of the implant need replacing, or just the crown/denture that goes over the top. I am considering saving some money to get it done because it really effects my self-esteem. I lost that tooth when I was 17, but only had the root removed last year. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I’m 24years old & i had a lip piercing in for 3 years, i’ve taken it out now but due to this piercing my two front lower teeth have been damaged, i’ve had x-rays & they show i’ve lost about 45-50% of the bone in my teeth & some of my gum has worn away.. I’ve had composite filler to fill up the gap (still abit of a gap near my gum to keep it clean) but my dentist said i’ll need a fixed bridge or implants in the near future..I’ve heard about the mini implants & prefer the sound of them so far but i’m not sure if i’m the right candidate for them..Please can i email you a picture before my composite filler to see what you suggest please?..I wish i never had the piercing done,my teeth were lovely & straight before this happened, i just want to choose the right procedure for my problem.. please help! Kind regards

Hi Dr MooreI fell over last Monday and have sustained a horizontal crack in 1 of the teeth directly next to my 2 front teeth (not sure of the name sorry). My teeth are perfectly healthy but the crack is horizontal right across the middle of the tooth

Q.

Hi Dr Moore I fell over last Monday and have sustained a horizontal crack in 1 of the teeth directly next to my 2 front teeth (not sure of the name sorry). My teeth are perfectly healthy but the crack is horizontal right across the middle of the tooth just on the gum line. My dentist said it needs to be completely removed!!! And recommended having an implant. Is this my only option? Can’t the tooth not be saved?! And if not how soon do I need the procedure? I am due to go on holiday in 2 weeks to Thailand for 3 weeks. Can I leave the procedure of tooth removal and implant till then? Many thanks for your time une reading this. I am massively gutted about the whole incident so any help or advice would be greatly received. Thank you

Do you recommend a dental implant over a bridge for replacing a missing tooth?

March 30th, 2012
Q.

I had a root canal filling on one of my back molars (I think it’s tooth number 3) about 10 years ago. It now has bacteria in it and I have been told I can either have the filling replaced or have the tooth extracted. My dentist told me having another root canal filling may not last and I may have to have the tooth extracted in another few years, so I may as well have it out now. What do you think? I am 21 years old. Also, if I do have it extracted, should I opt for a bridge or an implant? I can’t really afford an implant so was going to opt for a bridge, but I have just read that apparently they only last for about 10-15 years and can make the healthy teeth either side painful. So would you recommend I just opt for another root canal filling? It seems like a bridge isn’t a better option after all? I would really appreciate your advice!! Thank you very much.

I am 18 years old, can I have All on 4 dental implants to replace my broken teeth?

March 30th, 2012
Q.

I Absolutely hate my teeth, I’m always ashamed to smile or talk around people because I don’t want them to see my teeth. I have had 17 fillings in 14 different teeth. I’ve broken two of them into pieces and my dentist just stuck them back together with a filling. My teeth are extremely painful for anything hot or cold and I can hardly use metal silverware because it sends a shock directly to a nerve that was exposed before the metal filling in two separate teeth. Dental problems run in my family as is, my mother’s two bottom front teeth never grew in after she lost her baby teeth, and she now has full dentures at age 35 because of some bone disease that made them slowly fall out or something. My father’s teeth are all rotten and cavity infested, even though he brushes his teeth multiple times a day. I really don’t want to end up like that, and I want to fix the problem before it worsens to the same level as my parents. I want to be able to smile and speak confidently, and to be able to actually eat like a normal person. I was wondering if implants would be an option at my age, (18 years old) and if it is possible to have all of my teeth extracted and replaced with implants at the same time. I was looking at the clear choice website about the all-in-4 procedure. Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Should I use braces or implants to close a gap in my smile?

March 23rd, 2012
Q.

I would like to have implants on my bottom row where I have four teeth missing ( two on the left and two on the right side of my mouth, the spaces are in the same location). I am also considering having braces to close the gaps between my lower teeth (on the bottom row). Can these treatments be undertaken one after the after and if so in what order? Can these treatments be done at the same time during the period that the implants are healing? Can braces be attached to teeth that have had implants, or should this be avoided? What would your recommendation be? Also as a result of the missing teeth, the tooth in the upper level has grown longer as if it is trying to fill the lower space. How will this be corrected when replacement teeth have been implanted; is this undertaken during the implant procedure?
