I have been waiting for braces for over three years. I am now 19. Will I have to pay for them on the NHS?

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I am just wondering about braces on the NHS. I have been on a waiting list for over 3 and a half years, and they have now contacted me, saying that I can go for an appointment with them within the next 3 months. My issue is, that I am now 19 and a half. Will I have to pay for my braces, even though I have been on the waiting list since I was 16, before turning 18? Thanks,

What treatment would be best to fill the hole in my front tooth?

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Q.
I awoke this morning to find that there was a sizeable hole at the front in the centre of one of my front teeth. I can’t find the missing piece of tooth. Can the tooth be restored and is there anything on the market that can fill in the hole temporarily while I wait for a dental appointment?,

What would be my best option to replace very old crown and how much would it cost?

Thursday, November 4th, 2010
Q.
MY FRONT RIGHT TOOTH WAS BROKEN AS A CHILD AT THE AGE OF NINE. A PERMANENT CAP WAS FITTED AT THE AGE OF 16, AND IS STILL ON NOW (I’M 38), SO THE CAP IS NOW 22 YEARS OLD. I HAVE NOTICED IT IS QUITE DISCOLOURED NEXT TO MY OWN TEETH, AND SITS LOWER ON TH GUMLINE. THE TOOTH TO THE RIGHT OF IT ALSO SITS SLIGHTLY BEHIND IT AND LOWER ON THE GUM LINE TOO. I AM SELF CONSCIOUS AND DON’T LIKE TO SMILE/TALK TO PEOPLE I DON’T KNOW WELL. WHAT WOULD BE MY BEST OPTION TO REPLACE IT, HOW MUCH SHOULD I EXPECT THE TREATMENT TO COST, AND HOW LONG COULD I EXPECT IT TO LAST?,
