What should be done for a chipped "baby tooth"?
For a 6 year old, and assuming it is the two front teeth, hopefully they can be left alone to be lost naturally. It is still best to see a dentist for an assessment to check that nothing else is wrong, for example: nerve exposure or fragments of tooth embedded in the lips and cheeks. READ MORE
Front tooth cavity
Yes, you can have a porcelain veneer or crown placed. If placed correctly and cleaned well, the edges of the veneer or crown will not be easily visible or stained, even with age. READ MORE
Why are some people's canine teeth sharper than others?
Yes, this is genetic. However, it would be wise to make sure your boyfriend is not grinding his teeth, as this could be unnaturally sharpening his canine teeth to an edge. READ MORE
How can I close the gap between my frontal teeth?
It is unusual for a gap to still be present in your front teeth if you have been using braces for close to 2 years. If the gap cannot be closed efficiently for some reason, gap in teeth can be built up using composite resin. READ MORE
Skin is shedding on the inside of my mouth (my cheeks). Is this normal?
It could be a mild reaction to Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLS), a common ingredient in some soaps and shampoos. Consider switching toothpastes and monitoring symptoms. Also rinse thoroughly with water after brushing your teeth at night. READ MORE
Very swollen and red gums after routine dental cleaning
Most likely there is an issue hidden deeper within your gums. It is either inflammation from a generalised gum infection, or inflammation from a deeper clean then usual. Soreness after a deep clean should resolve within a few days. I'd recommend you see the dentist who performed the clean for a review of the situation. READ MORE
