I am 55 and over the past 5 years I have noticed my underbite getting worse! I had a glucose test, it was negative. I need surgery on it. I am getting pain in my jaw,and it’s popping all the time. It gives me headaches .I am very self conscious about it too! It affects my eating and speaking . Should I go back to my dentist for another referral? Or should I go to a GP? I’m getting desperate! My bottom teeth are way in front of my top teeth,
Hi, I lost 15 back teeth by the age of 18 mainly due to child neglect my teeth were very bad by the age of 10 ,i attended various dentists from Weston super mare , Bristol and several in Wales , all have made me dentures despite me being physically unable to put or keep them in my mouth, i gag immediately and have actually been physically sick in the dentist surgery, i have 5 top front teeth and 8 bottom front which are continually cracking and breaking as i have chewed with them for 20yrs, my only option is implants and veneers , how much does it cost and could i put more than one tooth on an implant?, i am a mum of 4 and have limited income and couldn’t afford all individual implants.
Hi I have a lump in my mouth. The location of the lump; the corner of my upper right
Gum between the front and side tooth on the right side.
My gum started to swell gradually
It’s been 6 months and I have seen 3
Dentists however no one knows what it is and have not yet taken any tests 🙁 I feel really let down by the NHS.
I can not afford to go private and it just seems to get worse everytime it get prodded around with.
I stupidly tried a home made remedy to whiten my teeth with banana peal could this be the cause?
One of my dentists mentioned it could be my wisdom tooth pushing my teeth forward and irritating the gum to make it swell. And has removed my wisdom tooth.. Would I need braces maybe? 🙁 pls help I can maybe send a picture via email
Dr Safeer Butt,
I think I may suffer from TMJ as my jaw is misaligned, at times the left side of my face becomes sore and warm and the my left jaw and cheekbone are higher and sharper on the left side and virtually invisible on the other. Now I’m not sure if that is just my “good side” for photos and the like or if this is caused by my teeth. As a result the tip of my nose and the bridge twists ever so slightly to the left and so my smile works imperfectly in relation to my nose and chin.
What would you recommend I do? I’m only 16 and I think these issues have arisen from improper wearing of braces, what do you think? It’s beginning to affect my confidence.Thank you for your time.
Hi, i have been suffering with bad breath for about ten years. I recently went to my dentist and he said that my teeth were fine. I then went to my doctor who said to see a dentist. In both cases no tests were carried out. It is a hugely embarrassing problem and my question is where do i go and what do i say to get the help i need? I do not smoke, have impeccable oral hygiene and eat a balanced diet. I have a bad taste in the back of my throat and have tried some of the most popular products for stopping bad breath but to no avail. Thanks
Can you tell me where I can get LANAP treatment in the UK?
i am looking for some advice please.
my 13 year old daugter is registered with a orthodontist in our local area. she is now towards the end of her second year of treatment she has worn a retainer brace for a year and now as a track brace on both sets of teeth. its a year in july she has worn that one. her orthodontist is a very differcult man who i find to be very rude at times. i often wonder if its because we are nhs patients. my daughter is very careful whats she eats and only eats pasta at school as it is soft. no crusty bread, pizzas, toffees, sweets or gum as suggested. but in the last year she has lost 4 brackets from her teeth her orthodontist makes me feel like i am lying and treats us with such distaste at times and has almost had me in tears at the reception. my daughter is now saying she wont eat till its off. they says its nearly impossible for the cement to come off and if she has one more bracket come off he is going to take her brace off and discharge her. obviously this is a great worry to us as we know her teeth will return to original position and she started with a 12mm overbite 2 years ago. can he do this over something as petty as a couple of brackets coming loose. i know it must be very annoying for him at times but it seems a bit severe for what takes him 20 seconds to replace. my nephew goes to another dentist and in 6 months as lost 4 brackets and his dentist just replaced them no problem.
i would love to get her refered to another orthodontist but am told to do this she will have to start her treatment all over again. any advice you could give me i would be gratful.
much thanks

Hi, I live in bradford and It is my brothers wedding and my teeth stick out (the top ones) and i really don’t like them and hate smiling and i really want to know about this treatment, will my teeth be ok before July and as it is really far would I have to visit all the time or could it be referred in bradford?
Hi
i have an oversensitive painful tooth due to a large filling hitting the nerve. my dentist (private) has attempted root canal 3 times but is too painful. the last time he used sedation, which did not work at all. he says the nerve wont go numb as it is sensitised, so will hurt for root canal or extraction. i cant bear being in pain any more, can I ask to be referred to my local hosptital for extraction under general anaeshetic as it seem it will never go numb with local and I cant go through with an extraction without numbing. thanks
