My teeth are in bad condition, I am considering cosmetic dentistry but don’t know where to start, any advice?

Friday, March 25th, 2011
Q.

I am considering cosmetic dental treatment and need to understand precisely what it is I am looking for. My teeth have never been particularly strong despite regular brushing and flossing and I am now almost in despair. I have 1 crown that had just snapped, one back tooth that needs to be removed, a further root canal that has yet to be crowned and a number of large fillings that I am certain will not last too much longer. I really want to know if implants are the way forward or what else I can do to salvage my remaining teeth!!! Dare I say I have a mortal fear of the dentist and almost feel embarassed to visit given my current situation, please help!!!!

My daughter is worried about the dentist, could she be sedated?

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011
Q.

my daughter had a recent check up and was told that she had a root coming through her gum from a old tooth, it was very visable the dentist asked if we would like it removed or wanted to have a go ourselves, shes 9 years old and i thought he was joking, i asked for it to be removed and waited three weeks for a appointment, my daughter has adhd and can get easly upset and frightened and as soon as she saw the needle she started crying, she was told okay your done with your crocodile tears you can go, i asked whats next they said nothing. I have looked at this root and she has broken some off, it is now going brown and she has already had an infection. I need to know where to go to have it out and can she be put to sleep.thanks

My teeth are severly decayed but I hate going to the dentist, any advice?

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Q.

Hello

I’ve reached a stage of my life where my teeth are affecting all of my life, I’m far too scared about talking to anyone about this and I haven’t visited a dentist in about 6 years as I had a tooth extraction and I hated it.

I hate my teeth, I have to alter my smile so that people can’t see the tops of my teeth as some of them have cavities in the front of them, I recently lost a tooth and it’s now a black stub, 3-4 of my front teeth have decay between them that is noticable if I smile more than I should and if Im not eating or drinking I can sometimes taste the decay in my teeth, I hate it.

I dread meal times and scared of my girlfriend finding out, Im only 21 and this is ruining my life, I have no idea what to do
