Hi. I am hoping you can advise me about who to approach for financial help for implants. I am 50 years of age, and have in my opinion, looked after my appearance. However, although I have been a business person in the past, I have bipolar disorder, a condition which I am not in control of nor is it any fault of my own. However, after 21 years and many, many different medications and mood stabilizers I found it impossible to work any longer due to the effects of this awful condition. As if this change of life situation was not bad enough, I then noticed my teeth deteriorating, and have recently discovered it is connected to all the medications over the years as I suffer with dry mouth as a result. I have lost 2 teeth near the front since my birthday and found this more than devastating and a worsening impact on my already low moods. I have been looking for a new dentist in my area and although I’ve just registered with one, I have no faith they have the time or compassion to understand how this is making me feel. As I do not socialise much anymore this new situation is making me feel hopeless as I have not even been leaving the house at all. Is there anyone I can get advice from with regards to NHS help for implants, since in theory medication has been the main factor of the deterioration? I now feel at 50 my life is over as I cannot bear to look in the mirror and now isolate from people completely. I hope you can understand this is far more than vanity, and more about taking away any social interactions I am able to have when my mood and anxiety levels are not so low. Thank you.

Can I Get Financial Help for Dental Implants?
Monday, March 23rd, 2015I Suffer From Epilepsy And The Medication Has Ruined My Teeth, What Can I Do?
Tuesday, July 23rd, 2013Hi, I suffer from a number of medical conditions, including epilepsy. Due to lots of medication over a lot of years and side effects. My hair, skin and teeth have suffered. My teeth are crooked, but due to illnesses and medications they have also become very weak. I have lost one tooth already. I have no confidence left due to these illnesses and haven’t visited the dentist in a while because of this. I hate my teeth and speak to people and laugh with my hand over my mouth as I am so self conscious about my teeth. I am a single parent who due to these awful illnesses is unable to work. Is there anyway I can get my teeth sorted on the NHS? I’m desperate for help and I just don’t want them getting worse than they already are. Thank you for your kind advice in advance.
What Medication Should I Expect To Receive After Root Canal Treatment?
Thursday, May 2nd, 2013I am going in to see a dentist today for root canal treatment. The last time I saw the dentist was about 5 days ago and have had massive headaches and sharp pains in both my face and the infected tooth. The dentist prescribed lortabs until I get to see him again for the actual root canal treatment. Is it typical for a dentist to prescribe something stronger then tylenol after I get a root canal done if I have been having a lot of pain thus far with it? I’m scared to go in today and not be able to get adequate relief pain wise.What would you advise? I know he’s a dentist and knows what he’s talking about but the other medication just did not seem to work and I haven’t even had the treatment yet. Thank you for your time and help, regards.

Should I return to the dentist if antibiotics have relieved my tooth pain but I am unable to put pressure on my tooth?
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010Hi, I went to the dentist this week as I had waves of intense pain, ear ache and jaw ache, and medication wasn’t touching it. The dentist did an xray and couldn’t see anything wrong. My fillings that side looked normal, there were no tooth cracks either. However my wisdom tooth can be felt above my teeth and is inflamed. I have now been reffered to the hospital to have this removed. I was also given antibiotics. My question is, I am now 2 and a half days into my antibiotics and the very bad pain has gone, however I cant bite down as there is pain on one tooth. It’s so bad I cant eat as I cant put any pressure on it. Will the antibiotics clear this or is it something my dentist has missed? Should I return to the dentist before my course of Antibiotics is finished?
Medication ruined my teeth. What veneers would be most effective?
Monday, November 22nd, 2010 during my early teenage years i was put on what is believed to be the strongest medication for acne, Roaccutane. this worked a miracle but it was not without its side effects. A substantial amount of hair fell out, my skin cracked open, my joints needed cortizone injections as the joint fluid dried out, my cornea’s dried out similarly and now i need contact lenses but most importantly of all my teeth went almost transparent from calcium leeching. now my hair is fully restored, skin perfect but my teeth have been left to ruin. they are of near perfect alignment (one out due to a broken jaw) but several+ have had almalgum fillings, two crowns and rear teeth removed (surgeon said these have most blood supply and therefore more cacium deficency).
I am looking to get porcelain veneers over the top to improve their cosmetics, idealy implants but i could never raise that kind of funds.
Which type of veneer is best suited? i don’t eat many hard foods like nuts etc, t-total, don’t smoke or eat that much sugary foods but my teeth seem to get worse. Also are there any practises you can recommend in merseyside/northwest area?
Thankyou so much for taking this time to read this
PS. could there be a possibility of getting treatment through my doctor as the medication is known to have caused the damage?
