Routine for oral hygiene

Monday, March 30th, 2009
Q.
Had accident as child, hit face UR1/2 roots did not develop correctly, short roots. only found out 2 years ago never picked up by NHS throughout my usual 6 month vists or treated. had skin cancer scare, Dr picked up dark gums, refered me to hospital , found to have perio condition. Hospital never treated UR1/2 but treated the others. said UR1/2 did not need treating as they were ok and i could have ortho as teeth were crooked and upset me,after perio was sorted i paid for brace, teeth are now straight, perio condition sorted but UR1 and 2 are now so mobile i cant take the brace off NHS wont treat me, said i dont meet their criteria. I am taking legal advice want 2 implants UR1/2 to replace my loose mobile teeth, which may have worsened due to hospital saying they were ok to have ortho. Xray showed enough Bone. i dont smoke and have regular 3 month cleaning and also follow my usual daily brush /tippee and mouthwash regime what can i do? This is ruining my life

gums are getting inflamed

Monday, March 30th, 2009
Q.
I had 6 cerinate veneers put on my upper teeth 2 years ago. They were fine for the first year but since then my gums have started to pull away from my teeth. I don’t have gum disease and they don’t bleed but I have started to get noticable gaps in my front teeth which are ruining the look of my veneers. My dentist used a special tool to ensure that there were no rough edges around my veneers earlier this year but I’m afraid that most of the damage has already been done and I can only assume this recession is a result of a reaction to the bonding material or something. What can I do to ensure that my gums do not recede any further? I also have some staining along the edges of my veneers (a horrible yellow colour) I am seeing my dentist next month, will he be able to get rid of this staining and is there anything I can do at home to reduce it? Is it possible to have veneers removed and not replace them and still look respectable? My dentist only made the surface of my teeth very slightly rough before placing the veneers. Would my gum line look odd? If I decide to have my veneers replaced (I don’t really want to have to do this for financial reasons plus I have only had them two years and I had hoped they would last longer) how much would it cost at your practice? and how difficult will it be to remove the old ones? Please reply I really need advice. Thank you.

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
Hi Don’t know if you can help me but I literally am at my very last resort I am 27 and since having a really bad experience as a child my teeth are ok to look at but I have broken teeth my gums are bright red and all lumpy, if I tilt my head down I can see down my gums. I have terrible BAD BREATH which has caused me a lot of personal problems my partner and father of my daughter has left, I stopped going out with friends I have completely shut myself off from everyone I cant speak to customers face to face at work due to the smell I am becoming very lonely and stuck. I honestly and genuinely have bad thoughts of not living I cant see a way out I have been my dentist it took me all my time getting there as I am so scared. I am desperate for some one to help me as my 6 year old daughter dosent like to give me a kiss which breaks my heart I am single but wont meet anyone with a mouth like this. My family make nasty comments about my breath and teeth. Even standing in sopping lines and someone talks to me I have to pretend I haven’t heard them and I am very friendly and feel awful for doing this. I am so worried about this as I can not afford dental plans although I work I am also a single parent I just cant do it and I don’t know what to do I am so scared at the fact I think of worse things to solve this problem can someone help me please. Many Thanks

Dental cleaning costs and location close to Eltham

Monday, March 23rd, 2009
Q.
Good morning, I live close to Eltham and have been looking for a dentist that may be able to help me. At the age of 6 I had a terrible experience with a dentist, when the smell from the gas mask made me panic and the dentist forced me back and then he had to be removed from gagging me by my mother. I have never enjoyed dentist since and had limited visits to them until the age of around 16… I have never been since I am now 42. I suffer little with my teeth and apart from loosing a filing 2 years ago all feels fine, but they dont look fine. They need cleaning, I would like them to be as white as they could be. Will you make me have other treatments done before you will clean them? Could you also give me a guide to the cost so I can compare services? Alot of detail I know…. sorry to bug you with all this info and requests, but i am scared of dentists, I hope you understand. Many thanks….
