I’m trying to decide if I need to see the dentist or if this is just pregnancy-related. I woke up with a horrible toothache across my upper right teeth. It felt like I did the last time I needed a root canal treatment. A friend mentioned this happens in pregnancy even when nothing is wrong. […]
Porcelain Veneers are Too Shiny

Dental Tourism Disaster
Can you help me? I went to a European country in order to get a smile makeover I could afford. Even with the travel, I saved $50,000. I loved how the smile looked and was pleased as punch until they started falling off. I’ve been doing everything they’ve told me to. I cut up all […]
Disqualified from Teeth Whitening for Service
I’m frustrated. When I signed up with my new dentist it was with a free teeth whitening for life offer. All new patients received it. The only caveat was that you had to keep up with your cleanings and they’d provide tubes of teeth whitening gel. I’d done it once, had two cleanings and then […]

Loose Adult Teeth
Can an adult tooth which is loose be saved? I noticed this morning that I have two loose teeth. They’re right next to each other. I don’t know if I damaged them without noticing or if something else is going on. I do know they wiggle when I move them. Is this something that can […]
Another Cosmetic Dentistry Disaster
I’m reaching out to you for some help. I’ve spent a lot of money on this and I’ve done nothing but cry since. My dentist and I spent a great deal of time going over exactly what I wanted. When the set came back they were bulky and chalky looking. I asked him to send […]
Trouble Speaking After Porcelain Veneers
I’ve had 10 porcelain veneers made. When he put in the temporary veneers, everything felt fine. However, since getting the permanent veneers I’ve had trouble speaking.
