Can NHS dentist answer why my front teeth gap has widened?

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi I am a healthy and fit 52 and for all my life have had a small gap between my 2 top front teeth. However over the last 6 months or so the gap has widened so far that I can get my tongue in between them! I have been to my dentist who said that she cant see why as I have no sign of gum disease and have healthy teeth. As I cant find an NHS dentist she siad she would refer me to an orthodentist but this is going to cost i just know it!!!I am not that worried about the gap itself butr am concerend that there is something causing it that I should be concerend about. Any suggestions? and also is there any way I can be referered for NHS treatment by my GP?

Hey guys, is it possible to get a full set of veneers for free? my husband has the worst enamel that i have ever seen and his teeth seem to be breaking and getting cavities overnight! even the day his wisdom teeth came in, they were already decaying. there is no way we could ever afford a set of veneers, so i was wondering if you guys have any advice on getting free ones. Thanks 🙂

How can I get my Craze line removed?

Monday, November 30th, 2009
Q.
I have a craze line in one of my top front teeth. It is a long vertical line. It is really noticeable when the sun hits it, or under a bright light. Is there anything to do 2 fix this or is it better to leave it? It bothers me a lot by the way it looks. Also how often do you see this as a dentist? How many patients do you get with a craze on one of their two front top teeth? I know it is common in other teeth I just do not notice it with anyone else. Plus I am just 22 years old. How common is this in someone my age? In the two top front teeth in particular? Thanks for your time!

Monday, November 30th, 2009
Q.
Hi,Doc,I had was involved in a traffic accident 20 years ago and lost 5 teeth.At the time i went to the dental hospital in edinburgh and had scans to see if it was possible to get implants.I was told because I had lost some bone in my jaw du e to accident,that there wasn,t enough to affix implants to,,since then i believe it is now possible to graft bone and therefore have procedure done..My question is: Since this was done through having an accident, Is possible to have procedure done on NHS, At the present time I am on incapacity benifits and DLA.Also I am a former seafarer and wonder if the dreadnought society could accomodate this.
