Q. my two front teeth sick way out what could be done to fix them other than braces

A. hi many thanks for your email, the other option would be to use veneers/crowns to bring them back in the smile. however the teeth may require root canal treatment. there is a case on my website under goofy teeth which give you an idea of the type of treatment that can be achieved.

hope this is helpful.

Scared to visit dentist for my discoloured rotting teeth

admin — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 05:09:32 +0000

Q. Hello, I have a front tooth that is rotting, it has turned black and does not look nice, I know I need the dentist but I have not had any good experiences with the dentist hence why I’ve put it off for so long, I know I have to go sooner rather than later but I’m worried about what they will do with the tooth in question, will they take it out or can they repair it?

You need the check up before you can get down to details. The good thing is that you dont have to have anything done at the first visit , just decide on some likely options.

What would be the cost to remove all of my teeth?

admin — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 03:28:15 +0000

Q. i want to remove all of my teeth. i dont want bs i just want it done. how much will such an operation cost me?

A. this might sound like BS but it all depends on the number of teeth that need removing and what is put in their place. I would budget from around £50 per tooth.

I feel some heaviness on my whole right face after my root canal can u advise

admin — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 04:08:29 +0000

Q. Hello, I am living in india and had a root canal done over here. I had slight fever and glands swelling for about a month untill we discover that is is not flu or otitis but my right mollar. I didnt know but the dentist i have been to seemed a bit low on hygyenic rules as I could see. I am now expereincing severe pain and I feel some heaviness on my whole right face, I am taking Novaclox since yersterday and really I am very worried, I am afraid he did something which might cause me septicemia. I am going to see another dentist on minday. Thanks for answering.

A. I guess the tooth is still infected and if necessary you may need it removing if your new dentsit confirms this as the problem

I have 6 veneers and all of them are loose and beginning to rot?

admin — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 05:32:14 +0000

Q. I had veneers fitted on 6 of my front teeth at the top and they are all beginning to come loose as apparently the teeth under them are beginning to rot (i only had them done 3 years ago). I have had to have one of these teeth removed completely (one right at the front) and am now having to wear a denture plate thing which keeps falling out when i speak and i cant eat with it in. I have not been able to leave the house or see anyone because i am so depressed and my gp has put me on anti depressants (not just because of the tooth – have lost loads of family recently amongst other issues and losing my tooth was the straw that knackered the camels back) . in circumstances like this where patients are upset about the way they look because of thier breast size the nhs sometimes do breast implants – is there any way of getting a tooth implant done on the nhs as i am a single parent and was made redundant a while ago and can’t go back to work as I have just been diagnosed with ME so i just cant afford much – is there anywhere that could help? besides – arent teeth cheaper than boobs?

A. I like your reasoning but unfortunatley I’ve never heard of treatment being done because of these problems.
You could try a teaching hospital as they can sometimes provide subsidised treatments.

I have 19 teeth left and all are problematic what do i do?

admin — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 05:19:06 +0000

Q. I have 19 teeth left in my mouth!! They are all giving me a lot of problems, and I wake up crying due to the teeth pain!! I do not want to spend 800.00-1000.00 on each tooth. I want them all pulled and I want full dentures. How do I go about doing this?? What steps do I have to take?? Please help me!!!!

A. get three opinions from different dentists, see where they agree and where they differ. Maybe you need stable dependable teeth without spending 800 per tooth and this is possible without extracting everything.

I have bad rotten teeth what treatment do u suggest me?

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:41:48 +0000

Q. Hi, I’m 28 years old and i have always had bad teeth and oral hygiene in general. The last time i visited a dentist was around 14 years ago. The teeth that didn’t have to be extracted had fillings so my mouth was already in quite a mess. Now it has got to the stage where at least 50% of my teeth have completly rotted away right down to the gum line and below. All i see now when i open my mouth is big black holes in my gums. The remaining teeth, mostly being the front visable ones have very bad cavities and are discusting to look at. Having done research online i am absolutly petrified of related health issues caused by bad oral hygeine. I’m so depressed right now i just dont know what to do, I have no friends, people think i am ignorent because i never smile and dont like to look at people when they speak to me incase they look at my teeth. I am jobless at the moment, i wanna go back to work but too worried about what the interviewer will think when he see’s my teeth. I really want friends and to socialise but im just so embarassed to go anywhere or speak to anyone. I currently recieve social security benefits so spending thousands of pounds to fix my teeth is not an option for me. I just don’t know what to do or where to turn, i just want to be able to smile and laugh without looking at the floor or putting my hand over my mouth. I have a partner of 8 years who keeps telling me to sort it but she just dosn’t understand why i carn’t face going to see a dentist. I carn’t even smile in front of my 3 children because im so scared of them seeing my bad teeth and asking questions about them, even my own kids think im ignorent and misrable. I’m quite sure i’m way past the help of a regular dentist because i don’t believe any of my teeth can be saved and its actually my gums that look pretty messed up now. Please help me turn my life around and smile again. Your help and advice is very much appreciated.

A. Hello, I’m sorry to hear of your predictament. I thin k you’re right, a regular dentist probably isn’t going to be able to help you at this stage. Perhaps you hould look into being treated a dental hospital where treatment is free or subsidised and carried out under the supervision of a specialist?

My husbands is losing his teeth what can be done to save them?

admin — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:44:58 +0000

Q. My husband’s teeth are falling out, he has gum disease and regularly visits the dentist who more or less says that nothing can be done. His previous dentist suggested a mouthwash, which has made no difference. He cleans his teeth three times a day, uses floss and also the little interdent brushes. The dentist has also said that he will not be able to wear dentures as his gums are disappearing also. The latest tooth to fall out is near the front and now one front tooth is loose too. Surely something can be done to save his remaining teeth, could he ask for a referral to a hospital specialist? What can be done if he is unable to wear dentures? We desperately need some advice.

A. It does sound like it might be worth asking for a referral to a Periodontist (gum Specialist) if the teeth are worth saving. Wearing dentures can be very difficult but if he does need them you could also consider using dental implants to support either fixed teeth or to help dentures stay in the mouth more securely.
If you are in my area I would be very happy to take a look to give you a 2nd opinion if required. Regards Andrew

May i knw the cost of treatment for having all my teeth as implants?

admin — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 02:03:23 +0000

Q. hi i wanted to know if you can have all your teeth both top and bottom in inplants and what is a ruff guide to the cost to all my teeth as inplants thanks

A. Yes you can and , depending on the type of end result required cost can vary drammatically costing. In my practice an overdenture attached to 4 implants costs in the region of £8000.00 where as 8 implants to fix a permanent bridge costs in the region of £20000.00. This is for one jaw

My front teeth have tartar and im losing teeth what can i do?

admin — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:18:12 +0000

Q. I have tartar on my front teeths on the gumline and I’m losing my teeth what will a specialist do?

A. If the teeth can be saved you might need extensive deep cleaning of the roots of the teeth, if the teeth are too loose to save you may have to consider removal and replacement.
