I have really bad teeth and am too scared to go back

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010
Q.
I have really bad teeth and am too scared to go back to the dentists. My last visit was about 5 years ago just before my youngest daughter was diagnosed with a life limiting condition and I hate to say it but I neglected my own health and teeth while looking after her. I now have a rotting tooth right at the front plus many other problems – I lived on fizzy drinks to give me energy and smoked 10 cigarettes a day for stress and am now paying the price. What can I do to sort them out? Where can I go where I won’t be looked at in disgust? Really sad and depressed about this and the amount of time I spend worrying about this should be spent with my daughter but I just don’t know what to do….,

Dentist said he cannot build up implants enough to provide enough lip support. I have not been back since. What should I do?

Thursday, October 28th, 2010
Q.
Hi I was due to have implants approx 18 month ago. Full implant held denture for the lower and individual implants onthe top. The top partial denture I have now is built up at the front for lip support but after having all my impressions the dentist said that he cannot build up the implants enough to give enough lip support. This meant a full denture for the top which I must say I panicked about and haven’t been back since. I now need to look at my options again and may need to find another dentist. I was wondering how much the implants can be safely built up in this situation? Thanks,
A.

I was down to get crowns but now dentist who replaced normal one says I should get dentures. Can I get crowns instead?

Q.
Hi,i went to the dentist today and found that my dentist had gone on maternity leave and been replaced by another for a while,but i was given a treatment plan to have crowns fitted other work done,but when i saw this dentist she ignored what i wanted to have done and said that i should get a denture fitted and remove the teeth instead,i am very upset as my original dentist had promised there was nothing wrong with the roots of the teeth to have crowns as she had done a xray,but on my visit today i was told to have denture fitted without having an xray done to see if it was necessary and was felt bullied into getting impressions done and paying 495 pounds for a denture which i do not want what can i do please help thanks.,
