How much would it cost in NHS to fix the gap between my front teeth

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
Q.
I have just turned 28 and had metal braces followed by retainer in the form of metal on the rear of my front teeth.everyting worked perfect and my teeth are perfect apart from the front 2 teeth have moved apart again. not back to how they started but enough of a gap for me to now want a brace again. i am currently wit a private dentist but am about to apply to an nhs one. ow much will i have to pay approx if i am with an nhs dentist, but i dont think i qualify for not paying anything as i am over 18 and in work. But if i am wit an nhs dentist instead of private one will it be cheaper or the same as i dont qualify. not really sure how it works, thankyou in anticipation of your time and help.

My jaw is bit to forward can I get it fixed in NHS for free

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have a cannine tooth stuck up under the roof of my mouth, I was told this when I was 13 & needed fixed braces as my teeth were in very bad shape and over crowded, I wouldn’t go ahead with it as I was terrified of needles and the operation I had to have. Since then, I have been bullied my way out of comprehensive school and had to move schools, but the bullying still continued. I am now 19 and still get nasty remarks made about my teeth, which has destroyed my self esteem badly and even caused depression. So I decided to ask my dentist to refer me to the orthadontist at a hospital. I had xrays taken and he said that the tooth is still there and would need further xrays to see if the tooth that is stuck has done damage to roots of my front teeth and I would need a couple of teeth taken to make room for the cannine tooth that is stuck. And also wear fixed braces for two years. He also said that my jaw was a bit to foward. As I am 19, the braces I will have to pay for myself, but cannot afford them. The orthadontist at the hospital said as I needed alot of work done, I might be able to get them free of charge under the NHS, so I phoned the Local Health Board up, but I don’t think they really understood my problem. Now I am really unsure on what to do, and if I am covered for all of this under the NHS and how would I find out. Thankyou for your time 🙂

Is it true that I can do only one crown in NHS per year

Monday, August 17th, 2009
Q.
Dear Rob, I have been to the dentist this morning and was told I needed 2 crowns, at a cost of £400 each (despite being NHS patient) After much talking she said I could have only 1 done on the NHS, and if I wanted a second one done it would have to be next year. Is this correct? She also said I have to see a hygienist before she will do any work…I thought that the money you pay for NHS treatment covers a clean & polish but she has doen nothing like that! Can you please just clear this up for me as I think she is just trying to make me spend as much as possible! Thanks for your help!

Ive overbite and my dentist suggested to get my jaw broken can u advice?

Sunday, August 16th, 2009
Q.
HI, I have an overbite, but I went to the dentist this week and they said my bottom jaw has grown enough to meet the top. So I would need braces then I would need to get my jaw broken and then braces again. I am very worried about this but I hate my teeth and the way they look. Would you be able to give me any advice? Or information to look into about realigning my jaw? Thank you very much

Would I be able to get jaw realignment surgery done on the NHS

Sunday, August 16th, 2009
Q.
I am 24 years old. About ten years ago I was under orthodontic treatment. I was offered to have surgery when I was roughly 17 to correct my jaw alignment. The options were to bring my upper jaw forward and my lower jaw back and to move my jaw back to the right as it leans more on the left. Aswell as have braces. At the time I turned down the surgery as I felt it was too much of a major operation although my confidence was very low. I was discharged at that time. Now I have re considered having the surgery as my self confidence is even worse, causing paranoia and my self esteem is at its lowest. Alongside this I believe the gap between my teeth has increased and my jaw leans more towards the left than it used to. My jaws ache quite often and I have difficulty breathing through my nose, and it feels blocked alot of the time, I have read that this can be caused because my top jaw is too far back. I am almost certain that the orthodontist told me that if I changed my mind, the option was always there until I was 25 years old. I am 25 in December of this year and am worried that I won’t be able to get this surgery done on the NHS as I can’t afford private treatment. Could you tell me if I would be able to get this done on the NHS now? Many Thanks,

A.

My NHS dentist told me that my root canal tooth must come out Is this correct?

Sunday, August 16th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have a root canal filling in the right 2nd Incisor. The tooth has become dark in colour and a little painful. I made an appointment with my dentist, under NHS, who tells me that the tooth must come out. This alarmed me a little, to the extent that i broke out in a cold sweat! He told me that this was a specialist treatment that needs to be done at the local hospital, at a cost! Is this correct? Meanwhile i am on antibiotics!! Many Thanks,
