Dental infections during pregnancy should be treated right away. The good news is that the third trimester is the safest time to have dental work. It is always a good idea to check in with your OB/Midwife before your dental visit.

Have you considered Invisalign to straighten the teeth before bonding or veneers? Correcting the position of the teeth before Veneers or bonding will keep the required tooth preparation / reduction to a minimum. An added benefit is that eliminating the crowding will help keep your gums helathy. Good Luck!

The good news is that the composite that bonds the invisalign attachments to your teeth can be easily polished and adjusted so that you are comfortable. In the meantime, dental wax is readily available at most drug stores and should help until you get back to the dental office. Good Luck!

The procedure your dentist is describing often works but is unpredictable. It is certainly the most cost effective way to treat the problem but may need to be repeated in the future. Good Luck!

It is difficult to determined if bonding is the answer without evaluating your bite. The relationship between upper and lower teeth is an important factor when considering bonging or Veneers. The result will be most natural if the front 4 - 6 front teeth are included in the treatment plan. Good Luck!

It is always important to brush and floss your teeth before bed. Remember to remove and clean your aligners before you put them back in

If the bone loss and resulting loose teeth are the result of high dose steroid treatment Periodontal Surgery may not be for you. The immunosuppresive effects of steroid treatment will likely compromise the surgical result. You may benefit from a more conservative procedure such as scaling and root planing along with frequent visits ( every 3 months) to your dentist for follow up.

The only possible limitation is if the crowns are attached. The advantage of Invisalign in this situation is we don't have to worry about orthodontic brackets detaching from the crowns.
