Q.

Doctor,
I came here as a last resort for some advice. Im a 23 yr old mother of two and I hide in my house everyday. I’ve always brushed my teeth 2 to 3 times a day but bad teeth runs in my family though the women. My grandma lost her teeth in her 30′s and my mother’s teeth are rotting, black and just not appealing. My teeth are following down that path. They are so terrible that i dont even leave my house. Every month another piece of tooth just falls out of my mouth leaving broken teeth everywhere. Alot of my problems are in the front and you can see why that causes me not just a great deal of embarrasment but also pain! pain everyday. I saved up for weeks to make a denist appt. to see what i would have to do. Let’s just say that was a nightmare, there is no way i can affort to get my teeth fixed, or even get vaneers like i would like. i fear that i will loose all of my teeth in the coming years and i will be in dentures before i hit 30. All of the horrors i read about aging quickly after you get dentures terrify me. There has to be something i can do, some way i cant afford to get something done. My question to you is, what do i do if i cant afford it?.. is my best option waiting until all of my teeth fall out to get dentures?
Do you know someone who helps out people like me? Please help my dream of being able to smile again.. take my daughters out without having to hide my face.
Please help me,

Q.

Hi
My son had bad tooth decay as an infant and lost several teeth.I cleaned his teeth twice a day and he ate and drank an average amount of sweet stuff.He`s14 now and his teeth are rotting again. I’ve had endless arguments with my dentist as to the cause of such decay when he really does look after his teeth.My other 2 children`s teeth are perfect and always have been.They are the ones that I always have to remind to clean their teeth.My son has strange markings on his teeth which have always been there and were also on his milk teeth.
Please advise on any causes because I will not accept this is down to mere neglect.We are out of our minds with this.

Q.
I have always had terrible oral hygiene since a child because I refused to brush my teeth. I am now 21 years old and I am now starting to pay the price. My front tooth has a big chip in it, the next tooth has a huge chip behind it, I’ve recently lost half of of a premolar and I’ve had to remove a molar for also losing half of it. My teeth are also very off-coloured , I have black stuff just where the tooth meets the gum, my bottom gums are starting to get a little black growing on it and I have terrible breath. I really want my smile back so I can meet girls again and be happy without feeling embarrassed about my hygiene. What kind of treatment would I have to undertake to fix my rotting teeth and bad breath?,
