My saliva gland was damaged after radiotherapy and my teeth are disintegrating

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008
Q.
My saliva gland was damaged during a course of radiotherapy for thyroid cancer, and my teeth have been severely damaged and are literally disintegrating, can you recommend a treatment centre clinic that may be able to help, unfortunately i am on a low income due to ill health but I would consider private treatment if I could be allowed to spread the cost of payment. I am at the moment a virtual recluse because I cannot face going out of the house, I have no social life and it has become really difficult because i have three school age children and I am unable to attend their school activity\’s, my parents have advised me to contact you because I have no self confidence and i really need help, yours faithfully,

I have yellow stained teeth and a lot of decay with silver fillings what would it cost to fix this

Monday, July 7th, 2008
Q.
I know it is hard to estimate without a consultation, but i just want to get an idea of costs. I have yellow stained teeth, and there seems to be decay between the teeths, on my lower and upper teeth. I have quite alot of silver fillings too, my dental health is poor. I am only 25 and it makes me so unhappy having horrible teeth, I always seem to be the one whos single out of my mates, I cant talk or smile properly because im afraid people will make fun of me, it makes me so unhappy and sometimes i just feel like killing myself. I cant even get a good paid job because i hate people looking at me. so I was just wondering if you could give me a rough price of how much treatement would cost, or at least a price list? I will not be able to afford it im sure, as I am in a poor paid job, and have alot of student debts, so I will properly be unhappy for the rest of my life but if you could give me an idea that would be great.

I am very sorry to hear how up… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have sensitive teeth and need a gentle dentist

Sunday, July 6th, 2008
Q.
I am not the best dental patient though have always attended (with great anxiety), and when i need treatment have always needed quite alot of local anaesthetic before I am pain free. I also have sensitive teeth when brushing which appears to be due to some small ridges at the top of my teeth (about 4 teeth) near my gums.(too sensitive for dental hygeine so lot of personal time to keep clean). I would love to have both straighter and whiter teeth though did not know if this would be possible with sensitive teeth and whether this could be remedied. (I would also need a very patient and gentle dentist!)

I fell and knocked my teeth out ive had infection and bone loss

Sunday, July 6th, 2008
Q.
When I was young I fell and knocked my 2 front teeth as a result I had an operation and the root of one of the teeth was removed. A few years later I has the tooth crowned and not long after I got an infection in the roof of my mouth. An x-ray showed that this infection was going right from the crown up into the palet of my mouth, the specialist told me I need ot have an operation to remove the infection but I have had bone removed during my first operation which I was not aware of and there is a 50/50 chance I could lose the tooth during or not longer after the operation. What would be my best option if I do lose the tooth? Would a dental implant be suitable? And whatever the necessary treatment can you give me an idea of the price I would be looking at?

If I understand it correctly y… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

how do I find a dentist abroad for dental implants and gum disease treatment

Sunday, July 6th, 2008
Q.
I am 59 years old and looking quite good apart from my teeth, which are now quite loose and have gaps between them due to gum disease. My gums are a lot better since I stopped smoking 4 years ago, but the damage has been done. My dentist says I will need dentures but I wondered if I would be a candidate for implants. However as the price in the UK is so high I was thinking about going abroad. How would I set this process in motion?

I am afraid I really would not… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
