Q.
Hi, I have really bad teeth. My upper jaw is overcrowd and narrower than my under jaw. I have a cross bite on the rite and open bite on the left. I suffer from grinding my teeth while I asleep. Recently I notice that I gum is loose and my teeth are so sensitive. I try pronamol toothpaste and floss after every meal but my gum haven’t improve much. Is there any dental procedure to fix this? I don’t want my teeth to fall of and it hurts
A.
I am sure there is a solution to your problem. I recommend you see a dentist and have this evaluated Dr. Lemongello

Q.
Last time I went for dental treatment I had a panic attack while getting a filling. I managed to hold it together while I was in the office but as soon as I went outside I had a full on freak out. I think I need another filling but I am terrified. what can I do?
A.
Discuss the situation with your dentist. There are medications available to help with anxiety. Otherwise, I would recommend you locate a dentist in your area who provides
sedation dentistry. Dr. Lemongello

A girl i met told me I had bad breath. I am not sure if i do or she was just trying to hurt my feelings. either way i am now crazy paranoid about it. I have been practuically drinking mouthwash for the last week. could bad breath be a symptom of something worse though? should I get checked out?
A.
Yes , bad breath can indicate other things besides poor oral hygiene. You might want to have this evaluated by a qualified dentist.
Q.
hi doctors
I had some pretty terrible experiences with dentists as a child and as a consequence have not visited one for most of my adut life. Predictably my teeth are a real mess, rotten and stained, its an embarassment. I smoke and drink lots of coffee which really doesn’t help. How easy would it be to just get a full set of veneers and how much would it cost? would I need much preparatory work done or can I just get straight down to getting the veneers fitted? thanks
A.
Dentistry has a solution for whatever problem yuo have. If you are a candidate for veneers the process is very simple. Some preparatory treatment is necessary to ensure a predictable result but most cases can be completed in as few as two visits and it doesn’t not take a long time to get started. Dr. Lemongello
Q.
My front tooth was knocked a bit loose after a bust up yesterday. can yout ell me if i need to go to dentist or if this problem will get better? there is a dull ache.
A.
Often these will tighten up. However, it would be important to have it looked at to make sure you do not have a fracture. This would create alot of problems.
Q.
I have had crowns on 6 of my teeth for 10+ years, but I now think they are starting to look tired and a different sahde from the rest of my teet. How simple id crown replacement, would I have to go to the same dentist who fitted them initially?
A.
Replacement is fairly easy. It would depend upon the condition of the teeth under the crowns. No, you would not have to go to the dentist who originally treated them. It would be important to see someone who is talented in smile design. If you are in the UK, I would reccommend Dr. Komal Suri, in Wendover. Very gifted!!
Q.
Hi, I am a French lady who lives in England but i still have my French insurance. My big problem is that i had a filling fallen out yesterday but my next trip to France is only in 2 months. Is it a danger to stay like that so long ? i don’t feel any pain (ok a little bit), just a strange feeling with this big hole, and i am scared of chewing now and uncomfortable. So should i book a flight in emergency ?
Thanks really REALLY a lot if you reply
A.
I would recommend you seek treatment now do not wait. If you do not want to fly back to France find a dentist in the UK and pay directly for it. The dentist listed on this website is a good choice. Dr. Lemongello
Q.
I visited a dentist to see about losing a 5mm gap in my teeth. He recommended the Inman Aligner which he claimed, ‘might’ close the gap. I tried to push him on this ‘might,’ but i think he was a politician in a past life and I didn’t get anything more concrete out of him. How effective are Inaman Aligners for closing a gap like this? should I get a second opinion? I don’t really want to go trhough with the work unless there is a substantial chance of success.
A.
Inman Aligner is good for crowding and movement of teeth on a limited basis. If you want to be sure, it may require traditional orthodontic treatment.
Q.
What type of crowns should I get, procelain? ceramic? gold? what are differences?
A.
There is no one best crown for all situations. Gold crowns work very well on back teeth, while all ceramic work very well on front teeth. Discuss with your dentist what is the best treatment for your situation. Dr. Lemongello
