My dental crown is too long and I am concerned what will happen if it falls out. Can you advise?

July 14th, 2013
Q.

Hello, in 2008 i fell down some steps outside a building in London and broke my front tooth (Upper right Incisor). Originally a crown was put on which lasted well until christmas this year when it fell off. I returned to have another Crown fitted. In July i needed a root canal which was done through the crown already in place.

The crown is too long much longer than my other incisor, and a darker colour than my surrounding teeth. I guess my first question is there anything that can be done about this?

What i am really concerned about is what happens if this crown fails? because i have had a root canal through thte crown would it be possible to put on another crown if this one fell off or would i have to go straight too an implant? I am currently a student and if this happens in the next few years, would i be able to get NHS help paying for this if it were to happen?

Many thanks

What is the lump that has appeared on my gums?

July 7th, 2013
Q.

I went to my dentist in agony because I was with toothache, my tooth (front top left) was throbbing and sooo sensitive, my face started to swell and i knew it was an abcess as i could tell from looking it up, my dentist put me on 2 lots of antibiotics which took the pain away, my tooth is still quite sensitive but a lump has now formed on my gum, it doesnt look like a abcess, you can hardly see it but can really feel it, its right under my lip below and around my nose. what could this be? also if i had to have my tooth taken out then would my dentist put another one in as i would hate to have a front tooth missing. please help me find answers

Could you advise me about dental implants and the treatment involved?

June 14th, 2013
Q.

Hello,
I have three missing molar teeth on my bottom jaw and I constantly have problems with food getting stuck and the gum getting inflamed which is both painful and annoying as it happens so frequently.
I have read about dental implants and although they seem very expensive the results seem fantastic.
Could you please tell me how the procedure works generally and the time frames involved?
I live in Sweden for half of the year so I would like to get them ASAP.Are there any centres that you would suggest i contact for this?Thanks in advance for your help and advise.

How much do dental implant costs, how long do they take and are there finance options available?

March 22nd, 2013
Q.

I have had both of my upper canines missing for several years (due to a genetic trait that prevented the secondary ones from growing in as a child), and I’m considering implants. What are the pricing options as well as the length of time it would take to perform? Would it be possible to perform both implants at once, or will I have to get one side fixed before the other? Also, since the canines are the ones that are missing, will I be able to get the implants in the same shape as a canine? Lastly, are payment plans available, or is everything due immediately after the procedure? What about insurance coverage? Thanks.

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

March 1st, 2013
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.

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’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!

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
