I asked her what happened and she said it was nothing to worry about just her botox had gone a bit wrong. apparently this happened to her before but it was gone after about a month and I never saw her during that time.

I didn’t want to make her feel bad but it looked like she had a stroke or something, I was worried that it was permanent but it seems to be clearing up a bit now. The thing is I would also like to get some botox injections but this has put me right off! How can I be sure that this is not going to happen to me?

I have a friend who has really white teeth just naturally and it is so annoying because she has never had to have braces or whitening or anything so she doesn’t see what the big deal is with my teeth. Anyway, I would like to get them whitened but I heard somewhere that this doesn’t work if your teeth are just naturally yellow, which is pretty disappointing if its true. Is there any point in trying it at all if it is just not going to work? Is there something else that I can try to get whiter teeth.

FYI I can’t afford veneers just yet but I am thinking about getting them if there is nothing else I can do. I hate how yellow and dark my teeth look even though I look after them really well.

I think it is too soon to get another bridge (and too expensive!) so soon so I was thinking that it might be ok to just get another tooth put onto this one. The bridge is held in by three teeth that have crowns on them and they are fine at the moment. The other space is on the other side of one of the crowns so I dont think it should be too difficult to just glue another tooth on that side of the crown. I have been to the dentist and he said that the empty socket was ok after the tooth fell out so I could get it done soon but he is my normal NHS dentist and he did not make the bridge so he could not say whether I would be able to get another tooth fixed to it.

I am pretty worried about one of my teeth because i can see in the mirror that there is a black mark behind the back of it going into where it meets the tooth next to it. I have not got toothache so i am hoping that this is a stain of some kind and not a huge cavity because that would not be great. I think if it is tooth decay it would have started to hurt by now but i am not sure about that.

The thing that makes me more worried is that it seems to be right between the teeth and i just think there could be some really bad decay going on where i can’t see and this could affect more than one tooth. It is one of the molars closer to the front of my mouth and it would be really obvious if these teeth started to go black and fall out!

Is this something that i should be worrying about? Is it a stain or some sort of tooth decay?

You see it is not just the treatment itself that I need to be relaxed for I have a lot of problems when I am in the waiting room. I just get this feeling of dread that makes it so hard to stay calm – even though I now nothing seriously bad can happen.

One of my canine teeth has started to hurt all the time, generally worse at night for some reason, probably because I have nothing to distract me then and I just lie awake thinking about the pain.

My mum said this can happen sometimes when you get older and hers do it sometimes but I think it might be a cavity that has to be filled in. The pain is bearable at the moment and does not seem to be getting worse. Does this sound like tooth decay?

It has taken about three and a half years to straighten out my teeth and now I have a plastic retainer that I have to wear at nighttime for the next six months. I am having a problem with the retainer because it doesn’t seem to fit properly over my teeth and it is really uncomfortable. I have tried to keep wearing it but I have not been able to keep it in all night for about a week now – I end up waking up in the night and taking it out, sometimes without realising I am doing it. I am worried that this will end up with my teeth moving back to where they were before because I can’t get comfortable with the retainer. Is there something else that I can wear instead?

For a while I have just put it down to him being young and not brushing his teeth for as long as he should. But this week I’m starting to think differently.

This week I’ve really tried my best to brush his teeth for as long as possible on a night but I go to work before he leaves for school so can’t do it on a morning.

Anyway I changed dentists and I was fine for a little while but then my new dentist said that I would have to get another root canal and I am so scared that I will end up in the same position.

I am not normally a nervous person but I am supposed to be going for implant surgery in a few weeks and I have found that I am not sleeping that well for worrying about it.

I lost two teeth because of a car accident and I have no experience at all with dental surgery so I think the nerves are getting the better of me at the moment.

I only had them put in three or four years ago but I think they make my teeth look very unappealing when I open my mouth. Before they were put in I had white fillings which looked a lot better but my dentist said that they would have to be taken out because they were so old. I didn’t know that he was planning on putting amalgam ones in until he had done it. I complained a bit and he said that they would last much longer and didn’t look that bad. I sort of accepted this for the first couple of years but I don’t think I have ever really got used to them and now I have cut down on my work hours, I have some time to do something about it so I want to get them swapped for white ones again.

I was in hospital and being sick a lot so I was not well enough to wear my invisalign braces or really look after my teeth that well. Luckily I started to improve after a couple of days in hospital and the doctors said I was probably going to be ok because I am only young. Even though I am of course glad that I recovered I tried to put my brace back in the day after getting home it would not go in. It feels like my teeth have moved to the wrong places and I dont know what to do about it. It feels like if I give it a big push it will go on but I am scared to do that because I think it will hurt and I dont want to damage my teeth or the braces.

I know I will sound a bit confused here but I don’t really know a lot about veneers so I thought it would be quicker in the long run to just ask and then decide what to do about my teeth.

I was speaking to a friend of mine who works as a dental receptionist and she was trying to explain veneers to me. I assumed that porcelain veneers were the only sort available because ethat’s what you tend to see people with or so I thought. She mentioned composite veneers and she was trying to tell me what they are and how they are fitted but in the nicest possible way I don’t think she really knew what she was talking about. Not because she is thick or anything just because she doesn’t sit in with the dentists when they are doing it so I don’t think she has actually seen this being done. I am not saying she was making it up I am just not sure if she has that much information at her disposal.

I want to get some sort of injection to smooth out the crows feet next to my eyes because I think they are becoming more obvious even when I am not smiling. My initial thought was botox but someone I know recommended dermal fillers for this. Which one should I chose? Is there one that works better for small lines than the other? Also are fillers safer than botox or vice versa? I would like to go with the safest thing really.

It is really frustrating because I knew they would be uncomfortable to start with but I thought it would only take a couple of days before I got used to them. The teeth don’t hurt, it is just a constant scratching, uncomfortable feelings because of the metal. What am I supposed to do about this?

Hello
I need to get my teeth whitened but I only have a few hours to spare next week and I would like to organise this before I go to my friends wedding at the weekend. I would prefer to do it either on Thursday or Friday, do you think I would be able to organise this at your clinic? How long do you think it will take to whiten my teeth? I am hoping to get it done and then go out in the evening so ideally I would have to make an appointment during the early afternoon – about two or three in the afternoon would be best because I am working in the morning. Is this possible? Is this a rush, should I leave it until next week when I have more time or do you think I can get this organised at short notice like this? ]]> Teeth Whitening Micixeyu http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/teeth-whitening/7525-how-long-teeth-whitening-going-take.html http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/sedation-dentistry/7524-there-another-way-getting-sedation-because-i-don-t-like-needles.html Mon, 06 May 2013 20:42:43 GMT I have a real problem with needles and have never been able to get injections because of it.

It does not cause problems for me most of the time but sometimes it is a real pain especially with things like anaesthetic or innoculations.

I need to get sedation for my dental treatment because I have a muscle condition that makes it hard to keep still when I am having surgery and things like that. I have never had sedation before but I am really scared to have an IV put in because of my fear of needles. Is there another way to get sedation without having a needle injected?

Now however I can see that one of them has moved at the front and the edge of it can clearly be seen overlapping onto the tooth next to it. I am certain this was not like this before when I had just had them done but I could not say when it appeared as I do not always look at my teeth that closely.

It does not actually move when I press on it but it has definitely shifted I can tell just by looking at it in the mirror.

I went to the doctor and he recommended botox for this because he saw that it was really bad.

The most obvious problem I have is with my teeth. There are dark orange stains all around the bottom of them and they are really really obvious whenever I open my mouth. It is like a dark orange tide mark on all of my teeth that no brush can get rid of.

I don’t know what started it to be honest but it has made my life difficult ever since then. I have had panic attacks and collapsed before because I needed to go to the dentist. I know how this sounds but I really have a problem with this and I need to have home visits just for a check-up. Honestly I barely make it through without freaking out and this is just for a check-up. Even afterwards I think ‘that wasn’t so bad so stop being a baby!’ but I can’t seem to remember that for the next time.

Anyway, there’s my life story lol! I had a check up on Monday and the dentist said that I would have to get a filling which was just about the worse news ever! He mentioned sedation but said I would probably have to go into the surgery to get it done, is this the same at your surgery?

They didn’t look as nice as I hoped they would but whatever… Anyway I was driving home trying to get used to them and I felt like a ping in my mouth and when I looked in the mirror I could see that one of the front brackets had already come loose and was hanging off the wire. This was literally about two hours after having them done in the first place! To say I was annoyed is a bit of an understatement at this point…

Well I turned round and went straight back to the dentist but it was already closed. So basically I have been living with it like this for nearly a week and the thing that concerns me is that the rest of the teeth are going to move and this one will just stay where it is and still be crooked when the braces are taken off or it will really hurt when this one bracket is replaced…. or they will all have to be taken off and put back on again, which is just a waste of my time.

I have had a bridge for the past two years and even though people tell me it looks ok I think it looks really obvious that the tooth is not real.

I want to know if this is really going to be a permanent thing or will I have to get it replaced after like twenty years.

Excuse me if this is a really simple question and i'm making it sound much more confusing than what it is but basically i have heard about invisalign lite and was wondering if this was kind of like invisalign but quicker. I want invisalign and i want it done quick so if this is what invisalign is all about then i'm all for it. The thing is though will it be too quick? I know i may sound like i'll never be happy but i'm concerned that if the treatment is too quick then it'll be pointless having it because it just won't work - in other words it'll be too quick for the teeth to be shifted correctly and accurately and the teeth will just revert to their original position.
Again i'm sorry if i'm waffling but i want to know as much as i can about Invisalign Lite and ultimately whether it is worth it and indeed works or not.

What do you do for patients who have quite wonky teeth?

I want to get veneers but I think I might need to have braces first because my teeth are pretty wonky at the front. It’s not great because this will cost a lot more than I have saved up but it would be worse to get veneers and then have them fall off or just look horrid because my teeth are all wonky underneath and they don’t fit properly.

I went into the dentist to have my braces taken off about a month ago and ever since I have been wearing my retainer it has made my jaw crack whenerver I open and close my mouth. At first this was not a big deal and it didn’t hurt or anything but now it is starting to get sore and in the morning I have trouble opening my mouth without it cracking so much it makes me feel a bit sick actually. Not because it hurts, just because the bones crunching together feels horrible.

I think my brace or retainer is damaging the jaw bones or something and I need help with this. It is making it hard to sleep and when I eat as well it hurts. Do you think I will need surgery to fix this or is this something that normally happens after having brace?

I did... Hello
I had orthodontic treatment from the ages of eleven to seventeen and this included plastic braces and metal ones for about three years. I did have a plastic retainer for about six months afterwards and I thought that my teeth would be straight all the time after that but for about ten years they have become crooked again. I don’t think they are quite as bad as they were to begin with but I would really hate it if they got much worse.

Is it a good idea to have braces again if I have already had them a while ago? It was over ten years ago when they were taken off but I think the biggest worry for me is that it will damage my teeth because they have already been under pressure like this before.

I always get tooth ache right after I eat anything and it lasts for at least an hour before it goes away and sometimes I give in and take some painkillers because it gets pretty uncomfortable. It seems to be getting progressively worse over the last six months and I just can’t ignore it for much longer as painkillers seem to be less effective as time goes on. The pain is coming from the back molar on the top row and it really throbs after I have been eating. I really want to do something about this if I can with the minimal amount of fuss!

Can you give me an idea of what might be wrong here or at least offer me some sort of home remedy that can make the pain go away? I don’t want to make an appointment if I don’t have to but I am running out of options. Do you think I need emergency treatment?

This has been going on for a few days and it is making me very nervous. The gums are still sore but it was only put in a few weeks ago so I think that might just be because of that so I am not that worried about it. However the thing that is making me very worried is that the implant itself does not seem to be very solid, it’s like I can feel it moving when I press on it or I am chewing. Is this normal?? If I give it a nudge with my finger it sort of shifts a little bit and if I press down on it I can feel pain in the bone like if I had a broken tooth.

This is really worrying me because the implant cost thousands of pounds and I am scared that it has failed. Does this normally happen after surgery or should I be going back to the clinic to complain/get help?

I have been basically addicted to sweets and sugary drinks for most of my adult life because my parents never really cooked proper food and I just got into very bad habits when I was a teenager. I eat sugar for nearly every meal and I snack during the day as well so my diet is pretty horrendous if I am honest with you.

Now I have turned thirty I am really trying to do something about this because I feel so unhealthy and sickly all the time. I am improving my diet but I think the damage might already be done to my teeth, I have been getting tooth ache in three teeth as far as I can tell but the pain radiates around so it is hard to pinpoint exactly.

It is making me think that there are some cavities in my teeth which would not be surprising to me really when considering my terrible diet.

This was news to me and I am concerned that there will be some pain afterwards (even though I don’t understand how that is possible!).

The problem I have is... I would really like to get filler injections into my top lip because it has thinned out a lot over the past ten years or so. The problem I have is that I suffer with OCD and I am always cleaning, so the idea of having needles under my skin makes me very worried about contracting infection. It is not the actual needles that bother me, just the thought of germs getting into the hole they leave in my skin – however tiny that may be! I know this is not something to get seriously worried about because there are other side effects of fillers but it just gets into my head and I can’t stop thinking about it. This problem has stopped me from getting treatments before but I am hoping that a dental clinic is going to be a bit cleaner than a beauty salon or somewhere like that. I know I am being ridiculous because dental clinics are really clean, people tell me to get over it but I just wish it was that simple!

I suppose I am just looking for some reassurance that infection is not something that is really a problem with filler injections.

I did get better eventually and my leg has healed fully but we never really found out whether it was the titanium causing the problem as it could have been an infection. Anyway it has made me nervous about getting dental implants and as soon as the dentist mentioned titanium I became worried about the treatment. Is there anything else you can used instead of titanium? Or some way you can test to make sure I am not going to get sick again?

The reason I would like an implant instead is because I have heard that they are very strong and they are nearly as good as a real tooth even though they cost a lot of money.

I have had a lot of problems with it because the dentist did not put a crown over the top of it and over the years some of the tooth has broken away. now it is completely broken in two down the middle after I took a knock playing football with my friends.


I don’t really know where to go from here. Do you think it will have to be taken out? If I had to chose I would prefer to keep it but I really don’t think that another root canal is going to do the job here because it is split right down the middle.

For the past four days and nights I have been getting toothache around the side of my mouth and painkillers are not doing anything to make me feel better. It seems to be centered around one of the molars but sometimes it is also painful in the tooth next to it, which makes me think that there is more than one tooth affected here. I have never had anything like this before so I don’t think I am coping particularly well with the toothache. It is just so inconvenient and painful, I don’t know what to do.

The pain seems to be staying at a certain level for now but I would ideally like to get this seen to just in case it becomes much worse than it is now. I have not had any treatment recently so I don’t think that can be causing the pain. The last thing I had done was a filling in one of my other teeth about six years ago.

I have been getting toothache for about a month so I went to the dentist and he said that the tooth decay meant I would have to get a root canal or I might lose the tooth. He suggested a date but I could not arrange it for that soon so he told me to call and make an appointment when I figured out a time that would work. The problem is that I have a job that keeps me very busy and I am supposed to be visiting family next week in Ireland, which means I won’t be able to schedule this even on my days off! I am struggling to find time within the next five weeks, do you think this is too long to leave it before getting a root canal?

It really makes me feel nervous that the jaw bone is cracked or fractured or broken somehow.

I was looking through groupon vouchers on the internet the other day and came across some for invisalign treatment. I’m now considering the treatment because it will make it much more affordable for me. Before I pursue this though I was just wondering whether the treatment will be allowed on me if I haven’t particularly got anything wrong with my teeth? For example loads of people get the treatment because they’re teeth are crooked etc but I’ve only got a bit of a crossover so don’t know if the treatment will be offered to me because it isn’t a necessity if you know what I mean. ]]> Turathrod http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/invisalign-six-month-smiles/7084-vouchers-invisalign.html http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/general-dentistry/7083-what-root-planing.html Sat, 13 Apr 2013 13:04:12 GMT Hiya.

How much do implants cost at your surgery? Is there any way to reduce the price or make it easier to pay because I will have to look at other options if the price is just as much ore more.

I have to travel to get to the surgery so I would just like to get an idea of what braces are available to me – I’m thinking this will save me some time in my consultation.

I have an underbite that only overlaps my teeth one one side and it is not really bad but it still needs to be sorted out because I think it has become worse over the past couple of years. The teeth are pretty straight on the bottom I think it is just the jaw that is uneven – I’m guessing that though.

Because of the underbite I have some wear behind the front teeth on the top and three of the front teeth on the bottom, I think they are just being worn down because of the way they go together.

Also the two front teeth on the top jaw are slightly buckled inwards. This is becoming more noticeable from the front and it is more obvious from the side.

This is making me worried about what people think when they see my teeth and I want to get braces as soon as I can. Do you think clear braces would be ok for me? Are there different clear braces that might work better for my teeth? ]]> Netesi http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/invisalign-six-month-smiles/7054-can-i-get-clear-braces-do-you-think.html http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/root-canal-treatment-apicectomy/7053-how-can-i-need-root-filling-if-my-teeth-not-hurting-all.html Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:52:22 GMT I don’t understand what is happening here because I have no toothache at all and even though I am not in pain my dentist said that I would need a...

He explained it to me a bit but I am not really clear why this treatment would be necessary if I have had no pain at all and no symptoms.

Is it a bit strange that my dentist only spotted this when I went in for a check-up? Surely I would have noticed SOMETHING when I have been cleaning my teeth or just in general.

i am not keen on injections as such but i read somewere that there are numbing gels that can be put on the teeth and gums to stop them from feeling pain. is there anything like this that could be used for me? sorry to be a wuss but I do not want to make this problem any worse than it is already. thanks. ]]> Teeth Whitening Ackyk http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/teeth-whitening/7048-can-i-get-anestetic-because-i-have-very-sensitive-teeth.html http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/sedation-dentistry/7047-will-i-still-feel-sleepy-after-i-wake-up-sedation.html Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:06:59 GMT I need to drive home from the surgery after having some treatment done next week and I will be having a sedative to help me with it.

Hello there,
I have arranged an appointment with my dentist to get some dental implants fitted where I have lost three teeth to gum disease several years ago.
I am fine with the idea of surgery and I don’t even mind the injection but I am very worried at the thought of having a metal tooth in my mouth. I don’t know why this is bothering me so much but I think it might be because I have a lot of allergies and I have read online that some people can be allergic to metal used in dental surgery.
What are the chances that I will be allergic to the implants? Is there some sort of failsafe against this because I can’t afford to have this treatment and then have it fail?
In your experience have you ever come across anyone with allergies like this that have stopped them getting proper treatment? I am a nervous person and I do have mild aspergers so this kind of thing is magnified sometimes. ]]> Dental Implants Achmose http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/dental-implants/7042-what-if-i-am-allergic-metal-makes-implants.html http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/root-canal-treatment-apicectomy/7041-ive-got-infection-tooth-thats-already-had-root-canal-treatment.html Wed, 10 Apr 2013 19:58:43 GMT I think I might have got an infection in my root canal treated tooth, does this mean that it’ll be extracted now, like I wanted in the first place!!!

It is not like very bad pain which I am used to after having decay, it feels like something else that I think might be an allergic reaction to the metal in my teeth. It is right around those teeth that the pain is coming in and it is making me uncomfortable with eating. I think there might be some itching around the gums as well, although I don’t know if that is just my imagination.

Would I be able to get these metal fillings taken out and some non-metal ones put in? I did not really t hink about this before the surgery but now it seems like an obvious thing to do so that allergies are not going to be a problem. ]]> General Dentistry Ingcerer http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/general-dentistry/7039-i-have-toothache-i-think-i-might-allergic-metal-fillings.html http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/general-dentistry/7038-please-tell-me-what-underbite.html Wed, 10 Apr 2013 19:10:16 GMT What exactly is an underbite?

I don’t have a lot of money but I have been saving up so I could get the best sort of veneer that will last as long as possible.

A friend of mine said that her veneers have lasted for over twenty years even though the dentist told her they probably would need repairing at some point. I was really impressed by this and disappointed when I found out that her dentist has since retired so I can’t go to him to get treatment.

What sort of veneer would you recommend for me to get really good results like this? I want something that is going to last at least twenty years so that I can gradually save up to get another set when I need to. I really don’t want to be left with broken veneers four years down the line because I won’t have enough money to replace them.

I have thought about other options but I think veneers are the only things that are going to work for me because of the way my teeth are. My only other option would probably be to get them pulled out and have implants but with money tight I don’t think that is feasable really. ]]> Gyurnusk http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/veneers-lumineers/7036-how-long-do-veneers-usually-last.html http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/root-canal-treatment-apicectomy/7035-what-sort-crown-best.html Wed, 10 Apr 2013 17:41:09 GMT Hello.

I’m not sure if this is the right place for this but I have chipped one of my veneers and I think I might need to see an emergency dentist because it has started to hurt. It is not a big chip and is not visible unless I smile really wide at people. At first I just thought it was not a big problem and I would speak to my dentist when I found the time but for nearly a week the tooth has started to ache and it is becoming more painful. The thing that is worrying me is that the tooth itself will be infected or something like that (decay?) and I have not noticed because the veneer has covered it up until now. is this possible?

This is the first time I have used this sort of thing so I am not sure whether this is normal or not.

I just don’t feel that I am getting the best service because he has not been able to do anything about my gum disease, he removed a tooth that I felt could be saved, and he said another tooth was fine when it really needed a root canal filling – I had a lot of toothache from that last problem and was not pleased when he finally admitted that it did need a root canal. I’m not saying he is incompentent because he has always been great with me before, I just think he is overrun because he has so many patients to see and he ends up putting in a below-par performance, in my opinion.

It’s a shame because I do like him and he is a family friend but my dental problems just seem to be exacerbated whenever I go to him for help. What do you think to my situation? Am I being too hasty or should I think about leaving – I mean, that would lighten his load as well, maybe he will appreciate it!

I want veneers really bad as I think that they will suit me and make me feel more confident. My natural teeth are OK but they are a bit off colour and I want them to look better.

I use it a couple of times a week and leave the tray in for two or three hours at a time but my teeth are not getting any whiter.

I had a check-up with my dentist yesterday and she advised me to start using Sensodyne to help me with the sensitivity that I have been suffering with. I have duly taken her advice and bought some from my local chemist this morning. The thing is, I’m quite taken aback by how much it costs. I’ve got a large family and I think that this is a really expensive product to keep buying. Are there any cheaper alternatives that I can buy that will do the same job as Sensodyne? ]]> General Dentistry Jamyh http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/general-dentistry/6951-toothpaste-sensitive-teeth-too-expensive.html http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/invisalign-six-month-smiles/6950-invisalign-has-ruined-my-bite.html Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:22:53 GMT Hello, I think invisalign has ruined my bite.

I think invisalign has ruined my bite. Basically I started the treatment around seven months ago and after a couple of weeks I noticed I couldn’t bite down properly without it hurting. The thing is my bite was OK before I actually had the aligners placed…which has wound me up like a spring if I’m honest. I had the treatment because I had a few crooked teeth at the front and I wanted them straightening up. That has happened, granted, but now my bite has been affected. I know that you’re going to say that as soon as I’ve finished the treatment that everything will probably be ok, but I actually finished the treatment last week and I’m not wearing the aligners anymore but my bite is still distorted. Is there anything that can be done to correct it or is it spoilt for good now? It hurts a little when I eat too… ]]> Quaumdan http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/invisalign-six-month-smiles/6950-invisalign-has-ruined-my-bite.html http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/general-dentistry/6948-my-bridge-has-started-look-obvious-next-my-real-teeth.html Thu, 04 Apr 2013 19:43:09 GMT I had a four tooth bridge put in about four years ago and it looked great to start with, you could not tell the difference between the pretend teeth... I had a four tooth bridge put in about four years ago and it looked great to start with, you could not tell the difference between the pretend teeth and the real ones. Now though I think it is starting to look more obvious because the rest of my teeth are a bit darker than they used to be. What can I do about this?

I went for the first appointment for getting porcelain veneers at the end of march and the dentist gave me a temporary veneer because quite a lot of the enamel was taken off.

I started to get pain in the teeth after a couple of days and now they are throbbing quite regularly whenever I drink a cup of coffee or I eat something hot and it is becoming really quite painful. I have my second appointment next Wednesday so I am hoping that my teeth will start to feel better when I get the veneers put in properly. Should I be worried about this toothache or will it go away when I go to my second appointment?

I am worried that this is something that will affect me permanently and there is nothing I can do about it now because the teeth have been cut down at the first appointment.

Is this common? I was not told about this might be a problem before I went to get veneers and I am not sure what to do about it if it becomes a really painful problem.

Can you advise me at all?

I got botox about a week ago and I have noticed that I have been getting some patches of dry skin around my cheeks and where the botox was injected.

I went to the dentist to ask about braces and he basically said that I would have to get train tracks because I have lots of teeth at the front that are squashed together and nothing else would work for me. Surely there are some other options??? I am so disheartened by this news because I have been hoping to get braces or nearly three years now and this is the answer that I get. I am so upset.

He didn’t even seem to think about the other types of braces and I used to work with someone who was training to be an orthodontist so I know that there is lots of other kinds of braces that could be used, why didn’t he offer me Invisalign or something like that? He just waved away anything else and honestly it made me so mad because he was not even listening to what I was saying!

I really hate my teeth but I hate train tracks even more.

I am pretty distressed after getting back from the dentist and finding out that my tooth is STILL infected even after having two root canals and an apicectomy to try and heal it. The dentist was very apologetic, which is all well and good but it has cost me a small fortune and it has made NO difference whatsoever it would seem. He said he needed to wait a little while longer because it has not yet healed fully from the apiectomy but I’m thinking that my only available option is to have it taken out, what do you think? Realistically I will glad to see the back of the thing because it has caused me nothing but problems for the past six months and I am in constant pain from it. It seems determined to stay infected and unhealthy no matter what the dentist does – and it’s not the dentist either because I had the first root canal with someone else and it still was unsuccessful. I am at my wits end to be honest.

Is there another treatment that might help or is this tooth past saving?

I have had gum disease for about a year and I am really worried right now because I think it might have made my teeth come loose in their sockets. The gums are pulling away and they are very sore so I think I am going to have to get some of the teeth taken out. Is there anything you can do to save my teeth!!

The main ones I a worried about are at the front on the bottom and everytime I bite into something it feels like they are just going to break and come out. this really worries me because I don’t want to swallow them and get sick. The gum disease became a real problem a couple of months ago because I was not really looking after my teeth as I should have been and the gums started to get very painful. Now they bleed a lot and I can see the roots of the front teeth. It also hurts a lot when I go out in the cold or I drink hot coffee, I think this is because they are close to falling out.

Do you think there is any way to save these teeth or do they need to be extracted? Will that stop the gum disease or will it affect the rest of my teeth?

I can see on google earth that there is a bus stop right outside my clinic almost so its not like I would be walking a long way to and from the clinic even. Which would be safe I think.

After visiting my orthodontist I was very disappointed to learn that my treatment would take longer than six months, even though I asked for a treatment called six month smiles! How is this possible? I just assumed that it would be six months and my teeth would be nice and straight after they have got crooked over the past ten years. I was very upset because my dentist said it would be at least eighteen months, which is three times as long as I wanted to wait. Why is this? Is there anything I can do to shorten this treatment time because I think eighteen months with braces will be hard?

How is it ok to advertise something as six months smiles if it is going to take longer than that?

It was fine up until three days ago when I saw that there was a crack around the back of the crown. I didn’t panic straight away because it seemed to be fitted ok and there was no pain at all. However, I saw yesterday that the crack was a bit bigger and I think the crown might have been damaged somehow because it feels a little bit unstable like it might come loose.

I am in a bit of a bind at the moment because I can’t really afford to get a new porcelain crown as this one was over three hundred pounds, do you think there is anyway I would be able to get this one repaired? I have read that a broken crown is bascially unusable but I am hoping that there is some way to sort of cement over the crack because it is not actually broken, just cracked, then maybe it can be glued over the tooth again to make it stable. What do you think to this? Is it going to need to be replaced or is repair an option at all?

A bit of it broke away and I think it might be decaying inside or something. Do you think I am going to need a root canal or is there something else that would work instead?

I have train tracks on the top and bottom teeth and I was hit in the face by a hockey stick in PE this morning. i should have been wearing a mouthguard really but my school makes us play without those or shinguards aswell!!

Anyway I think my braces are the only thing holding my teeth in at the moment but I can see that one of them has moved and the wire is bent on the top row. how bad is this really?

I do not want the braces taking off because I think my teeth might fall out but I am also a bit scared that they are going to start moving my teeth all over the place because of the damage to the wires. Can train tracks be taken off gently so that the tooth does not come out with it?? Is there any way to just repair the braces without having them taken off?

My sister has braces at the moment on the top and bottom AND she has a removable retainer thing that she has to wear as well (seems like a lot of hard wear to me!). Anyway I was talking to her about the treatment and she said that she would be wearing the train tracks for at least another YEAR, which came as a bit of a shock because I didn’t think her teeth were that crooked to begin with.

I have been thinking about getting braces myself for some minor alignment problems but I am having second thoughts now after hearing that she will have had braces in for nearly two years altogether. I just assumed that my own teeth were not that bad but now I am not so sure!

I only have a single crooked tooth at the front but I have always had top teeth that sort of slope inwards, even though I did have braces to try and fix this when I was a kid. On the bottom I have a space between the front teeth that doesn’t really bother me but I have heard that you can’t get one row done without affecting the other so I might have to get braces for that too.

How long do you think it will take (guessing) to straighten my teeth given the condition they are in? – mostly straight with a couple of slightly crooked ones. I would prefer invisalign or something like that if possible, I don’t mind if that takes a little bit longer. ]]> Awaing http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/invisalign-six-month-smiles/6816-how-long-will-take-me-have-nicer-teeth.html http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/general-dentistry/6811-when-should-my-child-start-teething.html Sun, 24 Mar 2013 16:34:42 GMT When will my child’s teeth come through?

This is a bit of a sensitive issue but I just wondered if you could shed some light on something for me.
Basically a few years ago I used to get really nervous and anxious and before I went to school and work I’d be sick. I’m not like this anymore but I have bad teeth and some look like they’re dead. I’ve always looked after my teeth so I can’t understand why they’re like this. But I’ve been told that my previous habits of being sick may have contributed…is this really true? ]]> General Dentistry Oraleash http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/general-dentistry/6810-i-used-sick-all-time-has-made-my-teeth-bad-now.html http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/dental-implants/6809-how-many-implants-can-i-have.html Sun, 24 Mar 2013 16:08:16 GMT Is there a limit to how many implants I can have?

If I have root canal treatment as I have been advised to, will that be it? Will there be no more problems? I just want all this dental treatment over and done with and am curious as to whether this treatment will eliminate all these issues.
Thank you. ]]> Detasdra http://www.pearldentalclinic.co.uk/forum/root-canal-treatment-apicectomy/6806-will-root-canal-treatment-solve-problem.html
