Q.

First off “Hello” I am looking to get my smile back. Around 2001-2006 I stared working on fixing me damaged teeth. Why at the time they weren’t bad off as they are now. The Dentist I was seeing did 11 root canals. And the put crowns on them. Well one by one the caps/crowns came loose. Most of them I swallowed in my sleep. And now where that caps/crownshave fallen out and left stumps if teeth. It just rotted pieces that were never completely self are just fragments of teeth and a huge gaping hole. The otherrs are just rotting away. Yesterday the nail or post they put in acme out of a rotting tooth and looks all rusty and I think part is still in the gum. I also don’t have my 2 front teeth because if when the dentist did my teeth on the other sides of the front teeth that were fine, he chipped one and cracked the other one. I’m 33 years old. A mother if four beautiful children and my soul mate. I am ashamed of my self. I have panic attacks about it. I feel like I embarrass my kids. I don’t smile anymore and when I laugh I cover my mouth. My teeth have keepin me from getting a job. I have Medicaid and I am looking for someone to help me feel like myself again and look like myself. I need to focus on me and I want to stop suffering from the pain. If you don’t take medicaid I can do a payment plan.. it takes hundern of muscles to frown but only one muscle to smile. I want my life back instead of thinking about my teeth.b
Thanks for your time. If you can help or point me in the direction to get help. I will send pictures of me teeth.

Q.

Hi i am 26 yrs old and have rotten, loose,cracked and completely missing teeth. i try to brush them (wots left of them) but cannot because of the massive amount of pain it causes. its destroying my confidence and makes me feel incredibly aware of the state of everybody of meet teeth good or bad. i try so hard to get to a dentist but cannot afford the dental fees and have no way of raising the kind of money it would cost. Is it possible to get my teeth repaired on the nhs and what would the possible treatment be

Q.

Hi there, about 8 years ago I was unfortunate enough to be injured by a stranger in an unprovoked attack. My two front teeth were broken, one so far up the nerve was showing. My dentist had to perform root canal and I have porcelain caps on the two front teeth and a white composite on the teeth next to them. I have had many problems since then with these teeth but more recently I had a gum infection above these teeth due to my gums being swollen and not being able to clean into the caps properly. After a course of antibiotics and the hygienest clearing the plaque that had gathered above and inbetween these teeth i have been left with big gaps between my gums and teeth. My dentist said there is nothing they can do and I will have to just live with this. Is this true or can I go to a dentist that specialises in cosmetics and have the four teeth (caps and composites) replaced so they dont look as ‘dirty’ and the gaps arent so big and unsightly. I have really good oral hygiene and have never had any other work needed done to my teeth in my 30 years. A response would be much appreciated as it is really getting me down that my lovely teeth will now be like this forever. Many thanks for any advice you can give me.

Q.

Hi, I am wondering if you know of any places or if people ever do pro bono work. I am 38, have lost almost all my teeth, have barely any gums left and am always having headaches and at times extreme pain due to broken teeth. I never feel good and I believe its due to my mouth. I can barely chew food any more which is causing stomach issues now. i am in the Asheville area of NC and am a mom to a k and a 1st grader and a wife. I dont want to die early and live with this embarrassement anymore cause I know I have a wonderful life to live for. Im so tired of living like this and we dont have money so I havent visited a dentist in probably 20 years. Any ideas or suggestions would be so appreciated

Q.

Hello Sir / Madam.

Im from the UK, and was wondering how much would it cost to have all teeth removed & have brand new teeth put in permently?

I’ve had 2 crowns, and serveral feelings and they seem to last for about a year then they fall out.

im looking for a treatment where there is 100% chance they will last a long time, and not for only a year or two.

Would there be anything you could recommend / Advice? as when i was young i never was told to look after my teeth, and now they all seem to be cracking, and costing me £200 for a repair crown every year per tooth, and its costing me too much.

Im looking for a Whole new set of teeth, they will stay permantly in, and will not break / fall out, one that requires alot of brushing, but not many fixes.

Do you guys have any answers? please respond.

Q.

Hi I am running into a dental nightmare with a tooth and feeling i need some answers from someone i would trust that i am doing the right thing!
Not enough space on this box!
3 months pain and over 10 visit to dentist!
Long story short. Had old filling replaced with a white one, next day pain round the gum on eating not on bitting. went back Said food impation as the filling was made less proud for better care of the tooth and now the gum aggrivated. lots of mouth care flossing etc Progressed to filling been re shaped to previous style to stop some of the impaction, still no help to shooting pain when food hit the gum. Pain slowly got worse to traveling along my jaw and waking me up at night. Xray showed nothing. Given anitbiotics. then filling taken out and packed. Pain still in the jaw so he went for the root as could see no other possible cause! only to find 2 roots, left for a week and just had another look for Root number 3 which he cant find but now informs me i have a crack and now need a crown! But cant do a crown until he knows if i need to see a specialist for root number 3 and in the mean time i may crack my tooth and loose the whole thing!!! Is it important to find the last root or for some people is there never one???? Not sure if to pay to see specialist before my tooth splits or sit and wait for a few months as has been suggested!
My gut feeling is i had gum infection as it never has caused any pain in impaction or bitting hard and maybe antibiotics may have stopped it getting into the roots. Any addvice much appreciated! 

Q.

Everyone is suggesting me to replace the one tooth. the dental implants is costing a lot and your advice would be a great help to me. Thanks in advance

Q.

 I am 50 and havent been to the dentist for 30 years because of fear initially but now embarassment. Most of my teeth have broken off at gum level and i only have 2 left at the top and six at the bottom but they are all rotten as well. I have decided to try to get them fixed as i have barely been out the door in the last ten years. I just want to know can anything be done to help me and how much would it cost. Iread a story on the internet that it would cost about 10,000 pounds but theres no way i could pay that. Please give me some advice as i’m desperate.
