Can I Get Free Braces Because Of My Circumstances?

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013
Q.

Hi

I’m wondering if you can help me. I’m 30 and therefore I assume that I am too old for standard free dental treatment but my front teeth overlap and I have a 10mm overbite eye teeth that stick out and my lower teeth are also overcrowded! It’s a bit of a nightmare to be perfectly honest with you because I have trouble eating properly. It is beginning to affect me psychologically also as I look in the mirror and just hate my smile, so it deeply affects self confidence! Are there any circumstances under which I would get braces for free on NHS? I have taken the time out to do my research and looked into private treatment but can’t afford it at all unfortunately. The figures involved are simply too much.

My Personal Problems Meant That I Neglected My Teeth, How Do I Get Them Fixed?

Monday, March 25th, 2013
Q.

Hello doctor, I need some advice as I have been in a severely depressed state of mind and have just been referred back to my GP from the community mental health team. This was an ongoing situation over the last three years +
During this time and before, My teeth were neglected due to my state of mind. Just on the top row I only have 3 good / whole teeth and the rest are either missing or badly broken. My back molars top and bottom were extracted in hospital when I was 7 or 8.
To this day I dont know why.
I am too ashamed to go to a dentist and am wondering – should I go to hospital or see my own GP first. I am just starting to pick up the pieces in life and now have my heart set on being a new person and being able to smile.
I live in Kingston upon Thames, London. I am 42 and allergic to aspirin and penicillin – Just for reference.
I am eligible for NHS as I am on DLA & ESA and currently not working.
I have suffered from PERICARDITIS for about 6 years now as it is a re-occurring symptom. I am currently on simvastatins for cholestoral. Other medication includes amitryptaline, isosorbide mononitrate, co-dydramol, sertraline, zopiclone (taken rarely). Just to give an insight of my medical history. Hope to hear from you shortly.

Yours Gratefully.

Is there any way I can get braces and dental implants on the NHS?

Monday, December 3rd, 2012
Q.

I have TMJ and this is caused by a crossbite. I have been to a dentist in America but I am currently moving back to the UK and I am a citizen. Would I be able to get orthodontic braces on the NHS to correct the crossbite? Also I have my back two or three molars missing and it causes me to have to chew on the side where the TMJ is the worst. I do have TMJ on both sides. It has gotten to the point my jaw locks from time to time. I was also told it will cause my bottom teeth to start to shift upward at some point. I will need a bone graft due to lack of bone. Could I get that done on the NHS as well? The dental implants are not for cosmetic purposes but is causing me pain on the other side from the constent chewing on that side.

Is it possible to get root canal treatment on the NHS?

Monday, December 3rd, 2012
Q.

Hello. Please advise the cost for root canal treatment for a lower third molar teeth and how long will it take as a treatment process? I was advised to have root canal treatment done as there is a slight infection/abcess on the gums. Please also advise if you take NHS patients in this instance.
Also, my wife had 2 fillings done and her teeth have become more sensitive. She had tried sensitive toothpastes Sensodyne,Pro-enamel but this doesen’t seem to help. Any recommendations from you would be welcome as a dental professional.  Many Thanks

Can bonding close the large gaps in my front teeth?

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012
Q.

hi, i am under 18 years old ( nearly 16) and i have quite bad gaps on my top teeth, i have had them for as long as i can remember and this problem stops me from comfortably smiling. As I am still in school I am paranoid about my teeth and I get bullied because of them. My dentist has told me that braces would not get rid of the gaps which really upset me. So I did some research and saw that bonding could help. Would i be able to get bonding on the nhs- as i feel that the problem is causing me to be insecure around others, and how would i suggest this to my dentist(as he hasn’t provided me with any other options)? thank you i would be extremely grateful if you could have me solve this issue

Should I have my removable bridge replaced with individual crowns?

Wednesday, September 5th, 2012
Q.

Hello there! I hope you are well! Okay here is the problem: I currently have a removable acrylic bridge of three teeth in my right side upper jaw, between my front and my rear teeth. It is not that comfortable and I was considering having individual crowns because I feel it will only get worse – (not sure if the crowns are called bolt in or screw in.) Could you indicate how long the surgery would take and how much I would be expected to pay for the treatment? (I wish to start saving for it as soon as possible!) Should I wait or have it done now? Would my current (NHS) dentist be likely to give a discount, as I am now 65? Any advice would be great, Thank you for your time.
