I Was Fitted With A Metal Crown And Now I Have Dry Mouth. Can I Get A Porcelain Crown Through The NHS?

Q.

Hello, Dr. Moore I have a problem that I hope you can help me with. I have had to have my porcelain crown fitted with metal crown on a molar at the back because I was told the NHS does not allow for a porcelain one. I am now finding that I am suffering from a weird dryness and numbness in the mouth and tongue and think that I am intolerant to the metal crown. It has been suggested that I have oral candida but I show no signs of these symptoms. Can I have it replaced with a porcelain one and how much is the cost under NHS? Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer me.

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.
