I’m really worried! What are the chances that i’ll end up losing my teeth or have to have them extracted? Thank you

A.

It depends on the amount of bone loss.  Many people can eliminate the looseness of the teeth through involving surgical intervention and thorough oral hygiene and home care.

Recently I have had tooth ache and this seems to have transferred into a slight jaw pain as well. I can’t help but think they are related and that there may be a problem. I have booked in a dentist appointment for next week. Have you any idea what it may be?

A. hi many thanks for your email, if the tooth ache has radiated to the jaw, the first thing that springs to mind is that there may be a infection in a tooth. hope this is helpful.

Would I be able to get them changed for the better looking modern ones or are they likely to come to thed of their life soon enough anyway?

A. hi many thanks for your email, this is a very common treatment, the silver fillings can be replaced for white ones. hope this is helpful.

Since starting treatment with braces I am finding that my mouth gets really dry and that I have to drink lots of water to keep on top of it. I would have thought that I would be producing more saliva after hearing about braces. Will this go away, is there something I can do?

A. hi many thanks for your email, some people react differently to things in there mouths. see how it goes but keep drinking the water and hopefully things will get better.

What are the biggest causes of teeth staining? I don’t smoke and try to stay away from coffee but my teeth are getting a nasty colour to them? What other things may be causing this?

A. hi many thanks for your email, although smoking and coffee and red wine are the main reasons for staining, other things such as food that you eat and drink can cause staining. also the age of your teeth can cause them to look discoloured. staining can be classified as intrinsic(internal) or extrinsic(external). extrinsic staining can be removed by a hygienist visit. intrinsic staining is much harder to remove and things like whitening can help.

I have been having bad toothache so I went to the dentist. the dentist took some x-rays and examined my teeth but said that he was not sure what was causing the tooth ache. He said my teeth looked to be in good shape and said he could not see ny required treatment to help ease the pain. All he did was recommend painkillers. Not much help really. Do you know of anything else that may be causing this annoying tooth ache?

A. hi many thanks for your email, i think you maybe better trying to seek the advice of a second dentist for a second opinion. hope this is helpful.

I have what I have to admit is relatively bad dental phobia, so much so that I have not been to the dentist in three years. I do my best to eat few sweets and clean my teeth as I should but I know how important it is to go to the dentist. My old dentist just didn’t understand how much I fewared the dentist and him for that matter. I get really anxious just walking by a dentist practice. Is there any help for people like me?

A. hi many thanks for your email, i think you need to try to find a practice that will look after you both dentally and mentally. hope this is helpful.
