Q.
Hi,am 36 and have just had 10 bits taken out of my mouth,they weren’t all full teeth due to some of them breaking. I had IV sedation beacause am a very nervous patient at the dentist, so my own dentist referred me to a specialist dentist. My own dentist said the best option for me is to have a plate fitted,am just wondering how long i will have to wait until i have my plate fitted and will it hurt? I had my dental surgery 3 weeks last thursday.,

Q.
I had my tooth out recently but upon extraction the tooth broke leaving the roots still in my gum, i have now been referred to a specialist to have the remainder out. It says in the letter that i will be under sedation, what does that actually mean i am a very nervous patient and suffer with panic attacks. Can you help?

Q.
Over the last few years i have had endless fillings and 4 extractions. my dentist told me i may have rapid caries. currently 14 of my teeth are filled, with one from each side top and bottom missing, all 4 wisdom teeth are ruptured and are growing in awkward shapes and hurt the inside of my mouth and cheeks. i’m only 22 and feel my teeth are so unsightly i am ashamed to smile. i try my best to take care of them but when problems continue to arise it really knocks my confidence. i’m considering cosmetic treatment but don’t know where to start and i’m a very nervous patient so feel fear talking to dentists about procedures. i just wish i could start over with my teeth but understand thats just not possible. i am writing really just to see what treatments are available and what costs i will need to pay. thanks for taking the time to read my question and i look forward to hearing from you.

Q.
I have an abnormal physcological fear of dentists which is a result of a face slap by a dentist when I was a child (he pushed a sore tooth with his finger and I bit his finger) The last time I visited a dentist was 1972 they pumped me full of “happy gas” to try and get me to relax, I burned it up quicker than they could pump it in. When I get hurt I become violent, subsequently I have to be put under with a general anesthetic. My teeth need to be sorted out and some implants out in for ones that are missing and others that will have to be removed, but feel it would have to be done under proper hospital op conditions Is this possible please.

Q.
Hi, It was a few years ago i noticed black dots on my teeth, i’ve since been to the dentist every 6 months apart from in the last year. She has always said there is nothing to worry about, but now i havent been to see the dentist in a while i have noticed they are gradually getting larger and on one of my teeth there is a second smaller black dot(the black dots are situated on the back two teeth on the bottom on either side, 4 in total)I have a phobia of any dental surgery. I had 2 teeth removed when i was 8/9yo under gas because of it and have was wondering is this decay also if it is are there any treatment which i would be put tosleep for the procedure?

Q.
I’ve just had a filling – there was decay under an existing filling (spotted via X-Ray) and some of the original filling had to be removed to remove the decay underneath and then place new filling on top. It has been 18 hours since the filling and I am still very sore. Is this normal? It’s 4am in the morning and I cannot sleep because of the pain/soreness. I could not brush over the recently filled area before going to bed either as it felt very sore/sensitive. I have had fillings before and cannot remember the pain post-filling lasting this long. Thank you
