Q. i have got to go under sedation and worried about it, how could i get out of this phobia of being sedated its sounds worrying knowing that ill still be awake during this.
A. Sedation is an excellent and safe technique for nervous patients, although you’re still ‘awake’ you wpn’t be aware of what is going on around you. Perhaps you should ask your dentist for some more advice regarding the procedure.

Q. Hi, Today at work one of my back teeth has cracked- it has a 10 year old filling inside. I’ve been advised it’ll probably need a crown. However I’m petrified of the dentist and have to be sedated when I go. How much will the work cost and if I took out private dental insurance, would it cover the work? I know it’ll be about £400 but that’s half my wages so won’t be able to afford it! Please advise in anyway possible. Many Thanks
A. Thanks for your questions, I am unsure as to whether taking out a dental insurance policy at this stage would help, as the need for treatment already exists? However, many detal practice are able to offer payment plans, such an interest free credit. I would suggest that you ask your dentist about the payment plans they have available, or alternatively reasearch dentists in your area who offer suitable schemes. I hope this helps.

Q. Hi, It was a few years ago i noticed black dots on my teeth, i’ve since been to the dentist every 6 months apart from in the last year. She has always said there is nothing to worry about, but now i havent been to see the dentist in a while i have noticed they are gradually getting larger and on one of my teeth there is a second smaller black dot(the black dots are situated on the back two teeth on the bottom on either side, 4 in total)I have a phobia of any dental surgery. I had 2 teeth removed when i was 8/9yo under gas because of it and have was wondering is this decay also if it is are there any treatment which i would be put tosleep for the procedure?
A. It is very likely that the black dot is just stain in the pits an fissures of the teeth. Ask your dentist to x-ray them that way you will be able to tell if the dots are decay or just stain. You could have them filled if needed with sedation although the fillings will probably be very small.

Q. hi there im a 25 year old male with a huge problem i have very very bad teeth in fact i have neglected them for so long i barely have any left!now the problem i have is that 1 i am petrified of the dentist and 2 i do not think i can afford to get them fixed or replaced please could you advise me of what i can do several years of agony and funny looks has got to come to an end
A. for NHS treatment contact your PCT ( Primary healthcare trust) dental contracts division and ask for details of local sedation services for dental anxiety .
for private options check the practice offers IV sedation then investigate a few local ones before deciding on the best one for you.
Sounds like you are ready.
Good Luck

Q. HI DR i am so scared of having my teeth looked at , And I know I need some teeth removed because some are black and chiped . Can I be put to sleep ?
A. contact your local primary Healthcare Trust (PCT) ask for Dental Contracts and they will tell you who has a NHS sedation contract in your area. For Private treatment search for practices offering IV sedation.
Sedation is probably your best route which is why I given those details although you need to speak to the provider to wexplain what this be be like in your case. The risks associated with general anaesthetics mean it is rarely indicated for dentistry, and if it is you would need a hospital refferal from a dental practice like the sedation services mentioned.

Q. I’ve just had a filling – there was decay under an existing filling (spotted via X-Ray) and some of the original filling had to be removed to remove the decay underneath and then place new filling on top. It has been 18 hours since the filling and I am still very sore. Is this normal? It’s 4am in the morning and I cannot sleep because of the pain/soreness. I could not brush over the recently filled area before going to bed either as it felt very sore/sensitive. I have had fillings before and cannot remember the pain post-filling lasting this long. Thank you
A. Thanks for your questions, I am sorry to hear that you are suffering. I would advise that you return to your dentist at your earliest convenience to have the filling checked, as it is keeping you awake. It is possible that the filling may just need some slight adjustments, but I would encourage you to have it checked.

Please help, thank you
A. Firstly if you are nervous we provide sedation to help. It is likely that you need vneers or crowns. It is dificult for me to give you a cost but I can say that our veneers and crowns start form £675 per tooth. Please make a free cosmetic consultation with me to see how I can help you

Q. Are there any risks in getting wisdow teeth pulled from only one side of the mouth? Like loss of equalibrium or anything ? And would deep rooted nerves in wisdom teeth cause tinnitus ?
A. You need to ask the dentist doing the surgery as there a a number of common risks and some uncommon ones. ther are some evidence based guidlines from NICE ( Nat institute of clinical excellence) on when its a good idea and when its not.

Q. I’ve always had lovely teeth & visited the dentist regularly.About a year ago I noticed that every time I brushed, my gums would bleed.My dentist suggested various gels for gum disease,but now my top front tooth is slightly twisted and I still bleed.After having some x-rays Ive been told I have lost bone tissue and the next tooth may also come loose.I asked about implants. It has been explained to me that because there is a loss of bone an implant would not be possible at the moment.A bone graft/implant has been suggested.Can you give me some information on this.Where is the bone taken from? Is it done under general anisthetic? I am extreemly worried. I want my teeth to look good and I dont like pain.
A. Thanks for your questions, it is possible to carry out the procedure using an artificial bone, to prevent the need for a graft from another site on your body. This procedure can be carried out under local anaesthetic, although some clinicians will be able to offer Intravenous sedation, if you feel this would help you. The aartificial bone is then allowed to integrate for a period of months, before the process to place the implants would begin. I hope this heglps.

Q. I have only 8 teeth on the top.I think 3 need coming out,i am really scared of having treatment,what would the best to have done.Thank you
A. If it is the loss of teeth your frightened of then you might wish to consider replacement of the teth with immedaite implants as these will feel the most natural.
If it is the actual extractions then you could consider sedation to help you relax during treatment.

Q. Hi, I am 25 years old and I have overcrowded bottom teeth, and I’m unsure of the best way to treat these. As a child my mum took me from orthodontist to orthodontist but they wouldn’t treat me because it didn’t affect my ‘bite’. However, recently the problem has got worse. Not necessarily in the sense that they look unsightly (obviously lower teeth aren’t seen as much), but more that they have become uncomfortable and I feel a constant pressure on them which sometimes becomes quite painful. They are also difficult to clean at the back. I did have both my lower wisdom teeth removed 7 weeks ago and I was told that this may help, but so far it hasn’t. What treatment would you recommend? I’d rather not have veneers as there is nothing physically wrong with the teeth other than they are not straight, and I would rather have a brace to be honest, but would teeth need to be removed so there is room to move the other teeth to? Thanks. I’m not even fussed if they are not tooth coloured braces. It’s more the uncomfortableness I want gone.
A. Thanks for your questions, firstly, it has only been seven weeks since your wisdom teeth were removed, and in terms of your teeth straightening, this is not a long time. As a child, when you were visiting the Orthodontist, I would presume that this was on NHS, and as a result of this, they would have been working to the guidelines set down by the NHS which limit the cases they treat to the most severe. There are now many more treatments available to you, and so I would recommend that you attend a clinic for a consultation, at which the dental professional should be able to advise you of which straightening treatment are suitable for your specific case. I would recommend this more conservatice route prior to veneers. I hope this helps, but please do not hesitate to contact me again should you need further advise.

Q. Hello, I have been to the dentist today to have a filling and my dentist gave me 1 needle and started drilling straight away, while he was doing this the pain was unbearable he then gave me 2 more needles and tryed again the pain was still agony and he said i waas lying even though i was shaking and crying. i am not terrified of going again but i have to go 4 more times for 4 more fillings. i was wondering could i be put under general anastetic so they could do everything that needed doing in one go as i dont think i could possible go back and be awake for another filling im just to scared!! please help me!!
A. hi many thanks for your email, obviously this experiance has shattered your confidence with the dentist. my advice would be to seek a dentist that maybe does treatment under IV sedation which is much safer than general, and can be done in a dental practice setting. the sedation will really make you less anxious and willing to accept treatment.

Q. hello i am 40 years old and im considering dental implants but i need a full mouth of implants when i was 20yrs old i went to my local dentist because i had a chip in my front tooth i also needed a back tooth removed i was put to sleep for the extraction and when i woke the dentist had removed my 4 front teeth but after going back there i experienced alot of pain which put me very scared of a dentist most of my teeth have chipped and fell out now i need information on implants is it possible to have a full mouth of implants thankyou
A. It often is possible to restore a mouth with implants. Sometimes bone grafting is required to provide enough bone to place the implants in. Please come in for an assesment. The treatment can be carried out under sedation if you are concerned.

Q. hi ive not been to a dentist for years as im so frightend just the thought makes me so nervous my teeth are realy bad and there getting worse most of them have broken and i no im going to have do something about it but im just to scared and dont no where to start, i used go to a dentist for nervous patients when i was around 12 and am 23 now, please could you give me some help, its realy affecting my confidence, and my job as i work with the public and im ashamed and realy want to have nice teeth, im frightend im going to loose them all, please help
A. to get to the dentist try some relaxation audio books etc. ring a few dentists to find out if the receptionist is helpful. agree to have a examination only ( just looking)try not to stress the examination remember it is only looking. onc the dentist has some idea you can arrange how to manage treatment. Tablet sedatives taken beforehand will help you make it to the appointment. some practices also offer sedative injections for concentrated and deep relaxation during treatment. costs do vary for this. call 01216430610 for details.

Q. Why is it that when I have a dentist drill on my teeth I always have some sensativity even if given a second dose of novacaine. Second question, I have recently had palpitations of the heart after about a week of using novacaine. Could this be the cause of my palpitations? They haven’t stopped for about a month now. Any advice? I have never had heart problems before.
A. The anaesthetic won’t cause any problems a week later but possibiliy a the time og the injection. Ask your dentist to check it out or consult your doctor.

Q. My teeth are very painful when the orthodontist uses the drill to remove brackets on my braces and i am apprehensive to have all my braces removed when ready. why would i have shooting pain? what can i do to prevent the pain when time to have removed. my doc just says i have sensitive teeth. i am very afraid to go back to the drill..
A. Your orthodontist could provide you with some sedative tablets to relax you and allow you to cope with the final stage of your treatment
