Hello Doctor Hughes, I have been suffering with abscesses in my gum for as long as I can remember I’m only 22 and have about 10 if not more a year…some bigger then others, I have asked my dentist what I can do but haven’t really got any good advice off them. I have had one of my teeth drilled and drained but it keeps refilling. my bottom teeth come away from the gums and cause pain and unpleasent feeling. I brush my teeth twice a day some times more, just can’t take the pain no more and need to do something about them. I have been told to look into veneers but I do like my teeth there not horrible … And do think I am young to have them. Just need help or pushed in the right direction to stop all this pain thank u for taking time to read this.

Can I Have Veneers If I’m Only 22?
Tuesday, February 26th, 2013I am 15 will I be able to have cosmetic work done or will I have to wait?
Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011Hi, I am wondering if you are able to chip/scrap of the bottoms of the tooth so that they are all equal and straight. Also I would like to have my gaps filled and teeth whitened however I’m only a teenager, I’m 15 so I doubt my teeth would have not full developed. Would you only do this on extreme conditions or if I was to request it, also how much would this cost? I have done some research and I have found baking soda does actually help whiten your teeth. Anyway thank you for taking the time to read my dilemma hope you can help thanks.
I look forward to your reply.
Thank you.
Can veneers work on my short, stained teeth?
Thursday, May 12th, 2011Hello doctor, I was just wondering about porcelain veneers. If i got them done and i was to get them redone 5/10 years time, would the price ever rise? and could i ever get my normall teeth back if i changed my mind a few years time? how old do you have to be to get them done and how well do you need to treat them? I would like veneers because my teeth are quite short and a little stained and i would like a nice new smile, would it be possible to extend the length of my teeth at all? Thank your for any advice you can give
Am I too old for Invisalign? and would my Veneers be an issue?
Friday, March 4th, 2011 Hello,
I have two questions….
1/ I am 53yrs..Am I too old to have Invisalign ?
2/ I did have a brace in my 30’s which straightened my teeth to a certain level but I still have two veneers to make my teeth look as even as possible. If I did have treatment, would these veneers to be removed during treatment?
Thanks

I am 54, am i too old for orthodontic treatment and how much will it cost?
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011I am 54 years old and have had a severe overbite all my life – my teeth always look dreadful and I hate having my photogrpah taken or having to smile when people are watching. I never had a chance to have orthodontic treatment – it didn’t happen when I was young in the same way it does now. Alos my teeth ache because my bite is so out of line.
Two questions
1 Is it possible to have orthodontic treatment at my age?
2 How much would it cost – this will probably prevent me having it done and I don’t suppose any of this gets done on NHS.
Any help appreciated.
My overbite is about 15mm
