Q.

Good day to you Adam, My question is not about braces but i see you are a dentist and i wanted to get your opinion on my case before i go to my dentist. I am 26 and my wisdom tooth on the bottom right hand side has grown to a longer length than my other teeth, so when i bite down my wisdom teeth hits my gum and rubs on a tooth. I am very scared of having my wisdom tooth removed as i’ve heard this operation is very painful. I would like dental sedation but can you get this through an NHS dentist? I would like very much sedation but i know it cost extra, how much is this extra? In your opinion would i definitely need this removing?

Will getting a brace fix my gapping?

July 26th, 2011
Q.

Hi Dr. Patel, a few years ago I had one of my back teeth out, since then 1 of my wisedom teeth on the same side has come through. as well as this I’av started to get small gaps in between some of the teeth surrounding my missing tooth. These gap reli bother me as bits of food get stuck in there, some times for day without me managing to get them out, would braces fix this problem for for me? thanks

Can I get my rabbit teeth pulled back?

July 26th, 2011
Q.

Dear Ian, I underwent a course of braces when I was in my teens and as I’av grown up and my wisedom teeth have come through then I feel like its pushed my front teeth too far forward and that I have buck teeth (rabbit teeth) and I hate it, is it hard to get teeth pushed back in? And if not what is my best brace to do this and what’s the cost. Iam 25 by the way if that helps, thanks so much for your time
