What Is The Cheapest Way To Get Implants For Someone On Jobseeker’s Allowance?

Monday, January 27th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I am just asking this question as I am suffering from really bad erosion and decay of the teeth, half of my teeth have fallen out due to this and it’s really taking a toll on my self confidence as it is really embarrassing. I am just wondering if long term teeth implants would be an option? I currently claim benefits which is for Jobseekers, so I have very little to spend on them. Could you please tell me the cheapest option for long term implants please? Thank you, any advice you can offer me would be greatly received.

My Canine Has Erupted Over The Top Of My Other Teeth. Would I Be Eligible For Braces Through The NHS As I’m A Student?

Friday, January 24th, 2014
Q.

Hello,
I am currently studying at university and I am 19. Over the past year my canine tooth has erupted out but now it is close to being in line with my other teeth, it grew over the top of my other teeth.
It is quite unsightly. My other canine tooth erupted when I was around 11 and my dentist just told to me to wait for the other one to erupt. It makes my teeth look overcrowded. My question is why did this canine tooth take so long to erupt and grow through and will I need braces and can I still get them on the NHS? How long would I have to wear them for? Thank you for your time and I look forward to your advice.

My Daughter Lost Some Teeth After Her Horse Hit Her In The Face. Can You Recommend A Good Implantologist?

Friday, January 24th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I’d like your advice. My daughter aged 32, has had an accident and has been hit in her mouth by her horse. Three front teeth have been knocked out leaving the roots. What can we do and who should she see to correct this for her? We live in the North West and we’re not sure what sort of dental treatment she will need or even who to contact. Should she have implants, veneers or crowns fitted? The cost is not a problem as we want her to have the best treatment. Any recommendation would be gratefully received. Thank you.

Do You Know How I Can Get Braces On A Low Income?

Thursday, January 23rd, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore. I hope you can help. I was once referred to an orthodontist by my dentist for braces. I was told I would have the train tracks on both top and bottom, to straighten out my bottom overcrowded teeth. This was when I was under 18, stupidly I refused the treatment as I had bad confidence issues anyway and did not want my school friends to make fun of me. I’m now 29 and unemployed on benefits. I have enquired about private treatment but find it very expensive. Have you any advice on this matter? Thank you.

Despite My Good Oral Health Regime, I Still Suffer From The Problem Of Bad Breath, Is There Anything I Can Do?

Thursday, January 23rd, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew, I’ve been suffering with bad breath for a long time now and I see the dentist every 4 months. They are happy of my cleaning, and the dentist suggested to me to carry with this cleaning method. I brush twice a day and clean my tongue by using an inter-dental brush.  I gargle with mouthwash but I still have this bad breath problem. Even with my dentist scaling my teeth every 4 months time and when I do that I feel little better but it is no solution. Please help me to sort out this problem. Thank you. I look forward to your advice.

I Have A Small Hole In The Gap Between My Teeth. My Dentist Missed It And It’s Starting To Bother Me. Should I Have Told Him?

Wednesday, January 22nd, 2014
Q.

Hi Andrew. I have a small hole located next to my front teeth, in the small gap between the two. It is very minute and when I went for a check up the dentist didn’t notice it at all so I didn’t bring it up, should I have mentioned that this bothers me? I feel I may need a small filling but how large does the hole have to be for this to happen?  Obviously I’d need a white filling with it being at the front of my mouth, any advice would be great. Thank you.

Can You Tell Me If A Maryland Bridge Is An Effective Way To Cover A Gap In My Smile?

Tuesday, January 21st, 2014
Q.

Hi, I am a 37 year old male with advance stage periodontal disease and my gums have receded. My front lower jaw tooth has been removed, causing a gap. The neighbouring front teeth are weak and also have receded gums. My dentist has given me a removable brace which I find to be very uncomfortable. Is this pain normal when it comes to braces? Can you tell me if Maryland bridge is an option and I if it can cover my front tooth gap in effective way? Are there any other options? Thank you and I looking forward to hear from you.

I Broke My Bridge Recently And I Need A Denture. I Would Like To Know How It’s Going To Work For Me?

Wednesday, January 15th, 2014
Q.

I had dental bridge with on 3 teeth in my upper front. I have had this for about 10 years without any problem but today I went to bite into an apple and the bridge broke. My dentist said I can’t have another bridge and that I need to have dentures but he didn’t explain anything to me. I would like to know what kind of dentures I would be getting? All he said to me is not worry and that he would make sure they will look good. Now I’m not sure if I have to take them out every day or can I keep them all the time without taking them. Will it effect me when I eat or talk? Will you be able to answer my questions?

I Was Fitted With A Metal Crown And Now I Have Dry Mouth. Can I Get A Porcelain Crown Through The NHS?

Friday, January 10th, 2014
Q.

Hello, Dr. Moore I have a problem that I hope you can help me with. I have had to have my porcelain crown fitted with metal crown on a molar at the back because I was told the NHS does not allow for a porcelain one. I am now finding that I am suffering from a weird dryness and numbness in the mouth and tongue and think that I am intolerant to the metal crown. It has been suggested that I have oral candida but I show no signs of these symptoms. Can I have it replaced with a porcelain one and how much is the cost under NHS? Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer me.
