What Time Of Payment Schemes Are Available To Me, I’m On Minimum Wage And Require Dental Implants?

Thursday, February 6th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes, I hope to hear your advice. I am just looking to find out some more information about tooth implants. My 2 front teeth are a complete mess, I had terrible mouth ulcers after having a lot of chemotherapy which aided in them starting to rot away. I work and I am on minimum wage, and would like to know if you provide a savings scheme where I can pay for treatment in advance by instalments before treatment is carried out, or if there’s a direct debit option to pay up after treatment. Thank you for your reply in advance.

I Have A Metal Denture With Lots Of Discomfort, Would A Flexible Denture Be Kinder To My Gums?

Tuesday, December 10th, 2013
Q.

Dr Shaffie. I have 10 teeth at the top of my mouth on a metal denture with lots of discomfort, it’s held in place by metal clasps on one side only has there are no teeth on the left. Oral thrush and mouth ulcers are part of my every day life. I have seen my dentist who thinks a new plate would be beneficial. Well I tend to agree that getting rid of the metal would be good as having a plastic replacement seems silly as this one was a replacement for my last plastic denture. Would a flexible denture be better and kinder on my gums and if so is it possible to hold it in place with no support on the left side? And what is the cost of these dentures.? Thank you.

What Is Causing The Metallic Taste In My Mouth?

Monday, July 29th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Moore. I have a metal plate with five teeth placed on it but have recently started to have a metal taste in my mouth daily.  I have had my existing denture for about 30 years now and I would like to know –  is it safe to clean the denture by soaking in regular steradent cleaner?  I used to use denclen which worked really well but I cannot purchase this anymore, from anywhere. Could you please advise me on this problem? I often get mouth ulcers. I regularly go to the dentist and because of receding gums have at lease 2 yearly visits to the hygienist. Yet, there’s still problems and I’m not sure what I should do. The metal taste is bothering me and it’s affecting the way I taste food. I don’t enjoy it and I’m always worried. Please help!!

Have a protruding tooth but also suffer from mouth ulcers, what do you recommend?

Monday, March 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I have an upper canine tooth which protrudes from my outer gum. I’m 33 now, when I was a teenager I wore a removeable brace which started to create a small gap behind it. I did and still do suffer from severe mouth ulcers so the thought of going down a fixed brace route is not something that I want to do. Plus at this current stage in my life, finances …I cannot afford to pay 3 to 5000 on a brace. Be so so grateful if you could perhaps talk me through ‘all’ possible options, along with consultation fees who I should see at your surgery etc. I dont think I have ever smiled properly and its depressing ! Thank you very much for your help,

A.
Well first of all our consulta… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have been having constant problems with mouth ulcers and it’s now causing problems at work. Can you help?

Monday, August 9th, 2010
Q.
I had mouth ulcers investigated a number of years ago. The consultant was very uncaring and said it was a vitimin deficiency. However for years now I have been suffering with fevers, swolen glands, acidic stomach, running to the toilet and swolen glands which give me sore joints and a sore throat. This is causing problems at work as my employer is fedup hearing that I am sick due to re-occuring ulcers. Can you help?,
