Can I get free cosmetic work at dental schools?

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011
Q.

Hey Rob

I would like to know if there is any way I could have free veneers or porcelain implants across the front of my mouth (top row of teeth) as they are all badly mishapen and crooked.

I ask because after speaking to one of my friends recently she had free veneers done by student dentists who needed people to practice on, and as I have a low income, but earn just enough NOT to be eligable for any benefits I am actually worse off than most people and would never be able to afford these types of luxurys.

I am an aspiring musicain and think that improving my smile would have a positive impact on my life and career as my teeth are the only thing that hold me back from giving people a confident smile.

please let me know if there is any help I can recieve, I would really appreciatte any help you could give.

I have had root canal treatment on the same tooth and it is still infected, what should I do?

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011
Q.

I have had root canal treatment on two teeth, one years old & one current after an infection developed in the root . The current treatment does not seem to have been successful after two or three attempts by my dentist. I am currently on a course of antiboitics (metronidazole) to try & finally clear the infection. If this is not successful my dentist says the tooth will have to be extracted. As this is an upper main molar I would like to retain the tooth. The old root canal tooth has also become sensitive again (lower molar) but my main concern is the current problem. Could you please offer a second opinion.

Kind Regards
