Dentistry help, few Query's?

I have on the bottom row of teeth both my first premolar's with a cavity in, they dont hurt at all, but they look and feel deep... but im no dentist lol.





There are also 3-4 minor enamal cavitys hardly noticeable.





And on my top row i have a cavity what has been treated with a metal filling.








Does anyone have any idea on how much it would cost and what i could have done...





First i want the filling gone, and it looking like a tooth not a tooth with abit of metal in it.





Secondly need the cavitys fixed...





Thirdly i have a few teeth just out of line, i had braces before and they did alot, these teeth have moved back since..





Forth I was looking in mirror and noticed a sort of scracth or crack in front tooth, i dont know if it is a crack but tooth feels fine and there is no crack on surface i cant feel it..





Last but not least teeth whiteining...





Is there any treat ment what can protect my teeth more, i brush my teeth 3 times a day after each meal, and i floss and use mouth wash...

first things first, are you registered with an nhs dentist, if you are then things wont be as much as they could be.





the premolars that need filling, under the nhs you can have them filled with white filling material.





the tooth with the metal filling, most dentists will not touch unless there is a problem with it, then you get the option of using white material privately (cost depends on your dental practise as all set own fees).





the front tooth may have a slight crack on the enamel, these can occur with general wear and tear of the teeth especially if you crunch on alot of hard foods. but i would get your dentist to check it out in-case there is something going on.





any other cavities i would ask the dentist about your options for filling materials, if they are not on the front 10 teeth top and bottom then you cannot get white under the nhs.





whitening may not be needed, and i would not have any fillings done until you have completed the whitening treatment but you would be looking to pay upwards of £1000 for a course and some can charge up to £6000. so i would ask your dentist what they charge. you may find that what you are seeing may only be staining from tea coffee red wine and curry (strong coloured foods/drinks) etc... so a trip to the hygienist may be all you need before you contemplate splashing out on expensive whitening, and if its is minor try the big chemists as they sell weaker whitening products that may just do the job for you.





as for your orthodontics, normally braces are carried out and finished before your body has stopped growing, so there is normally some movement, but also the human body naturally moves the teeth slowly forward over a long time as the grains that our ancient ancestors ate would wear down the teeth so they would move forward to fill the gap. this happens to everyone due to evolution but unfortunately for us we don't wear the teeth down now so it gets crowded instead. an orthodontist would treat you privately for this again the cost could be upwards of £1000 topping off at £6000 depending on what braces you choose and time needed, ask for a referral from your dentist.





there is not much you can do to protect your teeth more than just watching out that your not eating too may sugary foods/drinks and watch for fizzy drinks as they contain acid that can erode your teeth and of course acidic foods like lime and lemons. just think of everything in moderation not little and often but a little every now and again.
