My Teeth Are Decayed Due To Acid Reflux, Can I Get Them Crowned On The NHS?

Wednesday, July 17th, 2013
Q.

I have been to the dentist today and my teeth have severe decay through acid reflux, which I have been having treatment for over the last 2 years or more at my local hospital needing several operations to stretch the oesophagus to prevent me bringing food and liquid back up from continuously . The dentist said the cost will be over £6000 to have them crowned, as this comes under cosmetic treatment, is this correct? the other option he gave me was to have my teeth out and he would fit dentures on the NHS, something I really could not have in my mouth, can you offer any advice please, is it possible to have crowns or caps on the NHS due to other medical conditions? Kindest regards

My Teeth Are Being Repaired But Don’t Look Great, Which Treatments Could Help?

Thursday, July 11th, 2013
Q.

I have quite bad teeth, on the last visit to the dentist at least 4 or 5 need to be removed, the rest are in need of work, which is being done as fillings etc, but they are being done as essential stuff, and not to look good

I have neglected my teeth in the past, and unfortunately although now I try to look after what I have, its too late to do anything other than salvage what is left

My job is very customer and public facing now, and my teeth are starting to cause me some real emotional problems associated with the embaressment of them looking the way they do

What I want to know, Is what would be the best way of getting them looking good again, like a fresh start, would that be dentures? implants? and also how does the cost compare?

Thank you

My Bridge Has Partially Fallen Off, What Can Be Done To Help Me?

Friday, June 28th, 2013
Q.

Front teeth are bridges, set in two sets of three, one side has fell out and it seems that the stumps are rotted away. the other side has recently broken with the metal underneath one of the teeth showing this truly is a ugly experience I have had these bridges for 15 years and think the problems started last year when I had an abscess and the dentist drilled into the back of the bridge to gain access to the problem, just after this that front bridge weakened and the front of the tooth came off leaving the metal exposed, I really am in shock as my whole appearance has now changed instead of 50 I look 70 what are my options? As apart from the bridge on top I also have gaps with missing teeth either side and my back teeth are also broken.

Where Can I Get Free Treatment So I Can Get My Life Back On Track?

Friday, June 21st, 2013
Q.

I am a 46 y/o woman whose dental issues have left me feeling completely hopeless. I am unemployed and see no hope of ever becoming employed again because as soon as I open my mouth during the interview I see that look that says I won’t be getting a call back and who can blame them. I can’t smile or laugh, or even attempt to interact with people, I even avoid family functions. The worst part though is the constant pain and inability to really eat. My diet consists of soft foods and even with those I basically have to swallow it nearly whole and have choked a few times and hate the stomach pains that accompany swallowing such large pieces of food. I am extremely desperate, I want to be able to live again and enjoy life. Is there a place that you can recommend that might be willing to give me back my life at no cost since unemployment doesn’t even cover the cost of my rent?
