I Have Not Visited The Dentist For Some Time As I Have An Overwhelming Fear. I Need My Cracked Teeth Fixed.

Friday, November 1st, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I have not visited a dentist in a long time, this has lead to an overwhelming fear which I find hard to overcome.

Due to this, my four wisdom teeth are broken in half and have been this way for some time, some of the rear teeth are cracked slightly and I have half a tooth on my left side.

I was working with the military
for a few years, and with a bad diet and lack of dental hygiene, this has unfortunately developed.

I have not visited a dentist due to fear – is it possible to seek help through the NHS for elective surgery to fix my teeth?

I Am Very Unhappy With My Teeth And It Has Seriously Affected My Confidence, What Would Be The Best Thing To Do At This Time?

Monday, September 16th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I was just wondering if I could have some advice. I am 22 years old and my teeth are in a very bad way. I have had many fillings and have holes in my teeth which need to be filled. Recently I have had my wisdom teeth removed along with another tooth. I am very unhappy with my teeth and it has seriously affected my confidence and how I feel about myself. When I was younger I was very depressed and therefore neglected my teeth. I am currently working towards going to university and I feel that this issue will affect my chances in the future. I am really scared of losing all my teeth. I have a 16 month old son and was just wondering what would be the best thing for me to do about this? I don’t have very much money but I do have an NHS exemption. Thank you in advance.

I Am Nervous Around Dentists And Require Cosmetic Treatments, How Can You Help Me?

Friday, August 30th, 2013
Q.

I am a nervous patient and do not like going to the dentist. I always had six monthly check ups and once a year for many years. I have not been to the dentist for around two years now due to not having any money, loss of work etc. I need a gum graft in my lower tooth in the front. The gum started to recede around 5 years ago and has not been mentioned by the dentists I have visited. The dentists said that if it got worse it may need to be looked at. I have a lot of fillings but they have been good and given me no trouble and beside this I have been lucky with my teeth, now I am getting older I noticed a few problems. I have a loose wisdom tooth, not giving me any trouble but, I’m too worried to go to the dentist. Could this be done at the same time as a gum graft? Would I be able to be completely pull it out, if so how long would it take? I am frightened to let anyone touch the tooth because I do not want it to fall out. I would need to book somewhere for the night after treatment or can I get the train back? What is the cost? Would I be able to have it done in November and how many times would I need to come and see you after treatment?

If I Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed Will My Cheekbones Look More Defined?

Wednesday, July 10th, 2013
Q.

Hi there. I’m a 22 year old male. I have 3 almost fully grown wisdom teeth. (One which is currently on the bottom scratching against my cheek- like the others had done) I am however annoyed that the structure of my face has changed because of them. My cheekbones used to be incredibly more defined and so was my jaw. I am unsure if it was the onset of the wisdom teeth that have detrimentally manipulated the structure of my face of if it was just my face maturing into a more masculine shape- (but wisdom teeth are a sign of maturing) Anyways I was wondering what I could do if I wanted to remove them? If that was a possibility- And how much it would cost to do so? (I have read about models taking out wisdom teeth to create more defined cheekbones) And also if i did remove them-would my cheekbones and jaw line go back to the way they were? thank you

I am nervous of the dentist but need treatment for my stained teeth and wisdom teeth removal

Q.

Hi, I haven’t been happy with my teeth for a long time and its getting me down, my wisdom teeth are coming through and are sore but when I went to the dentists I fainted so I’m too scared to return. My front tooth is stained more then the rest so I’m guessing its rotting? And they have ridges on the bottom? Like a babys tooth.

Is there any way I could not have my wisdom teeth extracted?

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011
Q.

I’m asking this question as I’m concerned about one of my wisdom teeth. I’m aware they’re slightly impacted, not much on that note though. Though the main concern is the fact that my gums seem to be getting in the way and are getting chewed upon by the wisdom teeth. I’m simply wondering, is this perhaps due to the gum swelling up due to the recent erruption of the wisdom teeth or is it just my teeth being too crowded.

The easy option would be having the wisdom tooth pulled more than likely, but that seems a bit drastic for something that might just be swollen gums or an infection.

Thanks in advance for any reply,
Sean Swinzly.
