    Will do, he always appears very busy.I havent got temp crowns.One is a space and the other two are teeth which he is going to crown and the other already has a crown which i am going to replace
  • Do you mean you are going to have your crown recemented? The one that fell off?

    Still go and have that done and speak to him too.
    The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
  • OK then. Cancell your appointment until you are happy with the colour of your teeth. I still think you need to speak to him about how to bleach your teeth and how much stuff to use.

    Rammy- not sure if that was a question or not? 2 NHS crowns cost the same as 1 NHS crown which in England is £196ish. ANy exams and xrays and another other treatment will be included in this £196. cost.
    :money: Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou to everyone who has helped.

    no i lost it, what i am going to do is:

    Bleach my teeth over next or so

    See dentist to replace my crown and then crown my tteth which have not taken to the bleaching and are darker

    Hope this makes sense

    I have used homebleaching kits and 'whitening tothpaste'with no noticeable effect.
    at the moment though i am using sensodyne ordinary toothpaste and coincidentally have found that my teeth look noticeably whiter.

    I do hope you dont overdo it. I think all the actors on tv (noticeably Corrie!) have really awful looking brilliant white teeth now. I find my eyes drawn to their teeth rather than listening to their lines. So artificial looking - ghastly.
  • Tooth whitening might not work well if the trays are thin and/or not fitting well so the gel is leaking out / saliva getting in anddiluting the gel.
    Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you are usually right.
