I m 18 can I have treatment for my teeth at NHS?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr. Patel, At the age of around 12 I chipped my front tooth after a fall leaving less than half of my front tooth behind. I had a filling applied to this, but the tooth has gradually darkened over time. I’ve heard that this is due to internal bleeding within the tooth. Yesterday, this filling fell out and I am yet again left with half a tooth. The tooth in question is a few shades darker than my other front tooth and it looks very bad. I’m an 18 year old on a gap year, with no money at all. Would the NHS be able to help with my problem because it really looks awful? Thank you

A.

My teeth filling hurts when i chew gums is it normal?

Q.
Hi. I had SEVERAL fillings done about 1.5 months ago, and on occasion, those teeth will hurt, especially when I chew gum. It seems that the sensitivity to hot and cold has diminished considerably since I had the fillings done, but most times when I chew gum, those teeth hurt. The fillings are white, not silver.

Gum swollen and numbness problems after Molar filled

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Q.
I got my upper left Molar filled about two weeks ago it was a deep filling I was told almost to the nerve. Now I am having numbness on my left side tongue, all the outer parts of my cheek, and only half of my lips,and some of the outer skin surrounding my lips. This is all however on my left side only. My gum is a little swollen around the tooth but nothing very prominant. Will this go away or has there been trauma to the nerve? I have had it for about a week now. I also have Multiple Sclerosis and want to make sure it is not related to this since the pain came on a week later. Please help!!

There is a gap between my fillings and is very painful can you advice?

Friday, October 2nd, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Moore, I had a filling done between two premolars, and both teeth now have fillings. The problem is that apart from chewing being uncomfortable,they don’t fit well with the bottom teeh and there is now a gap that gets infected and is very painful. I have been back but was not able to find the same dentist and another dentist said that the xray doesn’t show any problem and that everything is fine, but that area between the premolars stings sharply, is itchy and swells up. Looking in the mirror all I can see is that the shape of the teeth is different and they seem bigger. I am very confused and don’t know what to do. How can I get them to look and feel like they used to?

A.
It sounds like they might need… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Q.
When I was younger I chipped my tooth so went to my local dentist and they gave me a white filling that was fine until recently when it became discoloured. What is the procedure for fixing this problem? Will the old filling need to be removed and replaced or can this old filling be whitened? I know you will have to treat each case individually but what is the usual procedure? I am currently 16 and have had this filling for about 7 years.
