Q. My toddler ran at me with a heavy toy and chipped my top front tooth so it’s on the diagonal. I have had a temporary filling from an emergency NHS dentist. ( I’ve never had a filling before so know nothing about the proceedure etc. ) I saw my dentist today and he informs me that he will be able to do a new filling and make it look like a normal tooth. The rest of the tooth is fine. He said I won’t need a veneer, although could have one done later. I am worried the filling won’t be strong enough (my dentist said I would have to be careful biting into apples etc) What should I do. At the moment I’m finding the temporary filling very wierd and uncomfortable. Would a veneer be a better option or should I stick with the filling?
A. I would try a new filling first then see how it goes and how it looks. It is sometimes very difficult to get a great aesthetic result with a single veneer although it would be a bit stronger.

Q. I have recently had one of my front teeth break off half way down, and I basically have a mouth full of fillings including a root canal job. My confidence has been knocked so much and I really don’t know what can be done to help me under the NHS? I’m really hoping you can advise me as it’s getting me really down.
A. You can get basic treatment on the NHS although cosmetic treatment may need to be paid separatly for the front tooth.

Q. Hello there, Sorry to bother you but I have two quick questions if you could answer them please? I have previously had fixed braces (both) when I was younger, my bottom brace only stayed on for 4 weeks instead of 6 months as planned. I then had them both removed (after having top on for 1 1/5yrs prior to bottom) and wore the retainer 24 hrs a day for the year. I then went for the yearly check up point and my retainer was taken off of me. My teeth went wonky within months, and I have been too scared to go back. I get really upset about my teeth and suffered alot with braces to still have wonky teeth. I am 19 and in full time education and have swapped dentist now. My wisdom teeth have been coming through for a year and causing me grief, will they fit braces with the wisdom teeth growing through and are they likely to get funded by the NHS? Sorry its so long and hope its understandable for you to answer. Many thanks
A. Hi, thanks for you questions. I wouldn’t expect you to get braces on the NHS and you may need to have the wisdom teeth removed before you have any other orthodontic treatment.

Q. Hi After years of neglect ,all my top teeth have badly decayed ,and broken off . Im so embarrassed about this ,and hence cant face a dentist because of the shame that I let my teeth get into this state. Unfortunately I cant afford private ,so will have to go nhs , I would like to know what is available ,as I know I am probably going to have to have them all taken out and have dentures,but I have been told nhs wont cover this? Also ,what would you advise me to tell the dentist before my appointment ,as I want to let him know the state my mouth is in before he actually sees them ,im so depressed about this and really need some help .
A. You will be able to get denture treatment on the NHS. I would be worried about what the dentist might say, thats our job to fix peoples teeth and we are very used to seeing less than perfect mouths!

Q. Hi, I live in York I’m 17, and I had my teeth sorted about a couple of years ago. I’ve had treatment on my teeth since I was 8, and I still wear braces now. My teeth were perfect after I had traintracks, and I was given a clear bottom retainer (which I still wear). At the time I did wonder why I wasn’t given a top one as well. He replied that if I wear the bottom one, it will keep the top ones in place. It hasn’t. I have 1 reasonably out of place, and two others slightly. I know that it doesn’t sound like much, but from having my teeth perfect, and wearing my retainer like I should have, makes me rather annoyed in a sense. I’m almost 18, and I was wondering if I now had to pay for treatment, ie retainers etc? And also, I am still in full time education, due to me having to re-sit the whole two years of my A levels, as I have been very ill, and hospitalised occasionaly. I will finish my A levels when I am 19. So would still being in full time education mean that I can still have treatment on my teeth for free? Thank you for your time, and I do not mind if you cannot fully answer my question.
A. Thanks for your questions, I would recommend you return to your clinician to discover whether they would be willing to correct your problems, due to the lack of a retainer. If they will not I do not think that you would be able to receive further treatment free of charge on the NHS, as your malocclusion may now not be severe enough to fulfil the NHS criteria for treatment. If this is the case I would recommned that you attend and Orthodontist or cosmetic dentist to discuss possible treatment options. There are systems available provately which can work in as little as six weeks. I hope this will help.
Kind Regards

Q. I am very worried about a friend of mine who is very unhappy about her teeth. She has had severe gum disease and has lost some teeth and although the gum disease has now gone her gums and teeth are not in a good way. She can not afford the cosmetic dentistry that she needs and this is now impacting on her life. She has become very self conscious and has lost a lot of her self confidence. Is there any funding available to help her?
A. Thanks for your questions, I would suggest that you encourage your friend to arrange an appointment at her local NHS practice. The pricing structure for NHS treatment is fixed, and even free, depending on the patients personal circumstances. The dentist would be able to advise your friend of how to improve her smile with as little financial output as possible. Many Thanks

Q. Hello Doctor,I’m 13 years old. The 2 teeth to the sides of my front 2 teeth are slightly rotated and leaves a gap when I smile.

So i would like to know what the best treatment to straighten my side 2 teeth would be, also i would like to know the approximate amount of the treatment if i did it privately. Thankyou
A. You have the option of private fixed braces or invisalign, costings vary from £2000 upwards.

Q. hi there im a 25 year old male with a huge problem i have very very bad teeth in fact i have neglected them for so long i barely have any left!now the problem i have is that 1 i am petrified of the dentist and 2 i do not think i can afford to get them fixed or replaced please could you advise me of what i can do several years of agony and funny looks has got to come to an end
A. for NHS treatment contact your PCT ( Primary healthcare trust) dental contracts division and ask for details of local sedation services for dental anxiety .
for private options check the practice offers IV sedation then investigate a few local ones before deciding on the best one for you.
Sounds like you are ready.
Good Luck

Q. I’m wanting to have dentures put in as missing four of my teeth and my teeth are also extremely sensitive would this be a good idea to get done? If am to get this done how long would it take and would it be painful to get done? I’m also 16 so would I be able to get this on the NHS or have to pay?
A. Thanks for your question, it is possible to have dentures on NHS. The process to make a denture would usually take between 4 – 8 weeks, depending on the type of denture and the laboratory which is used. This process should not be painful. I hope this helps.

Q. I am 23. I had braces for 18 months when i was 17/18 on the NHS and my teeth were perfect. I was given a retainer that broke and because i didnt realise how imortant it was i didnt get it replaced. Since then my teeth are moving back to their original position – if I want them re-done or whatever is needed will I have to pay again? If so without knowing the full extent of the movement how much do you think this would be?
A. Thanks for your enquiry, unfortunately, you would now need to pay for any orthodontic treatment as this is very rarely available to adults on NHS. Although prices will vary between practices and for different straightening systems, I can tell you that the current costs at my practices start from £999. I hope this helps.

Q. When I was 15 I was told I would lose all my teeth at the age of 21. I am now 49, and my teeth are a complete mess in some areas. I cannot afford the dentist as finacially I’m broke. Help!!!
A. Thanks for your questions, I would suggest that you attend an NHS dental practice for an examination, to establish exactly what would need to be done. With the help of your dentist you should be able to decide the best course to take to get you back on the road to good oral health. The benefits of an NHS dentist is that the fees are set, and in some cases you may even be entitled to free care. The first steps will be the hardest but I am sure you will not regret it. I wish you well.

A. hi michelle, there are many practices including mine which offer payment plans interest free and low interest. the cost for fixed teeth per arch to replace a denture ranges from about £10000, to £15000. the best thing would be to book a free consultation think about how much you could afford monthly and we will discuss the right plan of action for your budget. hope this is helpful.
