Dear Sunita,
I’m 23 and I still have two milk teeth near the front of my mouth, I read your answer in response to a previous question regarding hypodontia and was wondering if I fall into this category?
Also, with only two milk teeth would I be entitled to dental implants on the NHS? The reason I ask is that one tooth is beginning to feel uncomfortable and as if it is escaping from the gum line, this is also making the upper teeth catch on it and I am very worried to bite on this tooth in case it just falls out!
My dentist has mentioned these milk teeth to me on many occasions and when I ask him what my options are, his answer is always the same ‘they may fall out in your 20s or your 50s, you will lose them eventually’. However my dentist has never mentioned the possibility of implants, even though I have mentioned the problems I have with them to him. Should I start looking for a new dentist? The issue is really depressing and is really affecting my life.
Thank you in advance for your answer!
hello im 16 years old i go for a checkup at the dentist like every year all my teeth or nice and white just theres one tooth at the side that is diffrent from the other side its gone small i just want to make it look normal again but i dont know how to? :/
I have a broken tooth and root canal tooth on the bottom molars. Why does my dentist want to charge 950 per crown when the teeth are in the back and on the bottom. Should I ask him for a less expensive CROWN? He explained the only way to preserve the teeth is buy crowns for $950 each not fillings.? Am I being overcharged for crowns no one can see?? My insurance covers 50% and the amount is 1000.00 per year. Please advise.
I have a fixed bridge of 12 units. It was placed almost a year ago with a temporary cement by a dental technician. now I noticed that my facial appearance changed. it looks like I don’t have my front teeth, they seem to be sinking. My upper lip looks flat and my chin seems to protrude. I really feel bad looking at the mirror. How to correct this? Please help me Doctor. Many thanks to you.
Hi!
I’m a student from Germany studying at University in England. I have been under orthodontic treatment since April 2010 in Germany due to a missing milk tooth. I have got braces on my lower teeth, trying to do an orthodontic closure of space. I would need to go for adjustment of braces every 3-4 weeks, but am being asked to pay a huge sum of money for every visit (around 140 pounds).
Being a student, I am unable to afford this, especially since I am also paying for treatment in Germany. Could you please advise me how to go about this and to possibly reduce costs. I also have a European Insurance, could I use that in England as well?
Thank you in advance and kind regards.

my gums have receded on the lower jaw, two teeth are stained. Would veneers be the answer. If so how much would it cost?
please tell me how i can get my teeth
pearl white they are a lite shade yellow and i cant get them brite white
I’m now using blanx extra white
if you could help it would be great.
I am 54 years old and have had a severe overbite all my life – my teeth always look dreadful and I hate having my photogrpah taken or having to smile when people are watching. I never had a chance to have orthodontic treatment – it didn’t happen when I was young in the same way it does now. Alos my teeth ache because my bite is so out of line.
Two questions
1 Is it possible to have orthodontic treatment at my age?
2 How much would it cost – this will probably prevent me having it done and I don’t suppose any of this gets done on NHS.
Any help appreciated.
My overbite is about 15mm
