Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I have suddenly started snoring loudly. Could this be a cause of anything and how do I stop it?
It is important to find the cause of your snoring.
Nov 9, 2016
Lack of sleep can have serious effects. You should discuss this with your doctor, find the cause, and treat it. Sleep is very important to your overall health. Good luck.
Is it normal for my gum to be bleeding a year after a porcelain crown? My crown is discolored, c
I’m sorry your crown didn’t work out
Nov 6, 2016
This is not a difficult procedure. Search your area for a Prosthodontist and have the crown replaced. Most likely the bleeding is due to a less than ideal fit at the margin of the crown, or the previous dentist prepared your tooth too low below the gums. Either way, this can be fixed and you will be happy with the outcome.
Has my dentist screwed up my implants?
Talk to your dentist and don’t be worried.

Looking at the post op x-ray the implant placement looks good. Possibly something “broke” during the extraction. This is a common complication. It looks like you were in good hands and the implants appear to be in a good position for a final restoration. The tooth anterior (in front of) to the implants has limited bone support and you should discuss options to manage this with your dentist.
This is probably best addressed by an oral surgeon or prosthodontist.
Yes, it is possible.

Start with getting your hopeless teeth extracted. You may want to travel to a dental school or find a public health clinic. Save your money for a dentist who can fabricate a natural looking denture. When you get back on your feet you can evaluate adding dental implants to your prosthesis.
Dental Bonding over front teeth is starting to feel weird 5 years after treatment, is this norma
Yes, This is normal.
Oct 6, 2016
Dental Bonding will last between 5-7 years and at that time may require a touch up or complete replacement. You may want to consider Porcelain Veneers for a long term fix or you may elect to have the bonding replaced. Polishing or “touching up” the composite could be a short term fix.
