My upper bridge is causing me to have bad breath, why is this?

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012
Q.

hi doctor moore. i have upper bridge which is causing me problems.
despite brushing and flossing daily my wife tells me my breath is really bad, which is extremely embarrassing! i think food particles are getting under the bridge.i cannot afford implants at the moment as i am unemployed. SO could the bridge be sealed in any way to prevent food getting in? i am seriously thinking of getting bridge removed as i am desperate this would leave me with a slight gap in my front teeth but i cannot continue as its very embarrassing and as you can imagine my wife is growing agitated. thank you for your time.

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012
Q.

Im 58 yrs old, Im currently being denied by cigna from getting a total of 9 implants over the pst 6 yrs Ive had fillings, and crowns only to have issues with them. My teeth are sensitive to hot and cold ,and i cant eat any thing like a hard potatoe chip due to hurting my gums here no teeth exist. Ive spent over 5 K and crown and bridges keep coming out .so i opted to get implants. Only to be denied saying they will approve dentals.I have great coverage with cigna. ,all at the same time my co-workers have getten the same procedure done and to a greater degree. Some person in a insurance company based upon some xray makes an opinion to determine approve or deny. They have no ideal what i go through not being able to eat select foods sentivity. what do you recommend and where can i go to persue the matter .Even my dentist appealed to the insurance company stating that he highly recommend the implants.is there an agency to help my fight the insurance??

Is there any way I can get braces and dental implants on the NHS?

Monday, December 3rd, 2012
Q.

I have TMJ and this is caused by a crossbite. I have been to a dentist in America but I am currently moving back to the UK and I am a citizen. Would I be able to get orthodontic braces on the NHS to correct the crossbite? Also I have my back two or three molars missing and it causes me to have to chew on the side where the TMJ is the worst. I do have TMJ on both sides. It has gotten to the point my jaw locks from time to time. I was also told it will cause my bottom teeth to start to shift upward at some point. I will need a bone graft due to lack of bone. Could I get that done on the NHS as well? The dental implants are not for cosmetic purposes but is causing me pain on the other side from the constent chewing on that side.

Q.

I don’t get income support, but I do get disability payments. I can’t wear my top teeth anymore as they don’t fit and I’m fed up with them falling out, especially when I’m talking.

I have lost several teeth and would like to get dental implants on the NHS. Any advice?

Monday, November 26th, 2012
Q.

I am a 44 yr old woman; as a result of a brain aneurysm, I had a stroke, which further resulted in a seizure and I lost my front teeth when I hit the ground face first and fractured the bone that holds yr front teeth. I am extremely self-conscious of having a partial denture and have had many problems with it. I understand under some circumstances, its possible to qualify for dental implants on the NHS. I have lost 10 teeth from my upper jaw so have no chance of ever being able to afford the costs privately. It is really affecting my confidence and getting me down. Any advice?

How long would a mouth implant procedure take?

Wednesday, September 26th, 2012
Q.

I have a small mouth with a high palate. I have several broken teeth and a phobia for drills. I had a very bad experience at a dentist several years ago and have only ventured near if it was an absolute emergency since then. I have no problems with any other treatment like injections or extractions. I also have type 2 diabetes and am classed as morbidly obese ( 5 feet 1 tall and 15 st 7lbs) . I would need full mouth implants. Is it possible to have a general anaesthetic or hypnosis and roughly what would this treatment cost? Also how long would it take for the whole procedure?
