I am nervous of the dentist but need treatment for my stained teeth and wisdom teeth removal

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I haven’t been happy with my teeth for a long time and its getting me down, my wisdom teeth are coming through and are sore but when I went to the dentists I fainted so I’m too scared to return. My front tooth is stained more then the rest so I’m guessing its rotting? And they have ridges on the bottom? Like a babys tooth. I would LOVE to get them all ripped out and have fresh, healthy teeth put in! Please help me I’m 23 and very upset with my smile.

I’m scared to have treatment after failed attempts.Can you help?

Monday, May 9th, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes,

 The maxillary lateral incisor (22)was root-filled in March 2009. since then there has been recurrent periapical infection
I was referred for a apicectomy.
1. I am had Zoledronic acid (Aclasta) for osteoporosis on 3/2011.

Do you think that it is possible to have the dental treatment? As my last dentist has now retired and i have found it difficult to find a dentist i can trust after all the problems i have suffered with my teeth. I also read that apicetomies have a low success rate. Could this be why infection keeps coming back, i hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards
A.
