I'm 22 and have a gap between my teeth and gums, with pus around just one tooth. My periodontist suggested flap surgery once a week for four weeks after seeing my OPG. My front four teeth are loose and keep shifting is there any way to save them without losing them? Can flap surgery be done in a single sitting instead? Are there any advanced treatments to stabilize my teeth?

Is there a way to make my front two teeth smaller without getting crowns? I'm not keen on major dental work are there any quick procedures or tools that can do this? Just worried about how it might look and feel.

Veneers are a great option if you desire to have the smile of your dreams and want instant results without tooth extractions or other invasive and time consuming treatments. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that fit on the front surface of your natural teeth.

My dad is getting a front tooth replacement under a health scheme and the doctors have done multiple root canals during the process. Could there be any long-term side effects from this? He's also noticing a slight shivering in his right thumb could that be related?

I have a bone graft issue in my upper and lower front teeth and my dentist recommended flap surgery but I'm hesitant because it seems like a long and painful process. Can I just get my front teeth extracted instead of going through with the surgery? What are my other options for dealing with this bone graft problem?

ortho review is advised.
