I have a broken tooth which has been filled. My dentist informs me there is insufficient tooth remaining for a crown, or cap as these are likely to break off which may be dangerous as I may swallow it and choke. Also, as there is only one tooth to one side of it (top upper right) my dentist says a bridge would not be suitable. I can not afford an implant and do not want a gap. Is there anything else that could be done?

My Overall Dental Health Is Poor And I Would Like To Know If I Can Get Free NHS Treatment?
Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013hello im 18 and i’ve had trouble with my teeth for 12 years now i’ve had many teeth taken out when i was young now my teeth are turning, i have a gap in the middle of my two top teeth and and holes in my molars that have been fillled in many times. Despite this though it all just sinks back in the teeth and consequently i have developed a lisp and get major headaches as my jaw is out of place by half a centimeter. It’s all quite distressing and I need to get it sorted out because it’s destroying my confidence and I can’t stand having pain and awkwardness all of the time. Basically I was wondering whether you know if I could get dentures free from the NHS?

Can A Dentist Save My Wobbly Teeth?
Monday, May 20th, 2013Hello. I am a sixteen year old and feel absolutely mortified about the state of my teeth. I have never always been a good brusher, and unfortunately am only just realising just how important it is to maintain dental hygiene for making sure I keep healthy teeth. As of a few weeks ago, some of my teeth have become loose, and they are nearly all the front ones, on both the top and bottom. Please could you give me some advice on what a dentist would be able to do to replace the teeth, and give an estimate as to how much it would cost for a course of treatment under the NHS? Thank you.

Should I Get My Eroded Teeth Crowned?
Friday, May 17th, 2013i am 38 years old. i have overbite problem, what is worse is that now my lower teeth have started eroding due to the problem. There is also acute sensitivity to temperature fluctuations which is very uncomfortable. Another major issue is that often when i am chewing my food there is quite severe pain which again is horrible. Doctors have advised me to go for crowning. Please tell me whether you think that this is the correct course of action. Presenlty i am in kashmir. Where I can go for it safely in kashmi? How much will it cost to crown with good material in kashmir? Does it require a specialist? Sorry for all the questions but I really need to get this sorted out. Thank you.
