Friday, November 26th, 2010How can I overcome my fear of the dentist and seek treatment for my broken/rotten teeth?
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010Q.
Hi i have the biggest fear of seeing a dentist. I have had a fear since childhood and the fear has now caused me to have rotten, broken and loss of teeth, I am only 31 and suffer a lot of pain at times but am too embarrassed to see a dentist. I avoid smiling as my teeth don’t do any justice to me. I have no confidence and at times I’m in so much pain i can’t focus on other things due to lack of sleep. Please help!!!

How can I make sure that my dental implants are being done to the best standard?
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010Q.
I’m currently going through 5 tooth implants. I’m very suspicious the dentists doing the work aren’t much good. Every time i go for an appointment the seem too interested in the next appointment and they keep leaving things to be done next appointment, One of the Titanium posts has been left bare, one of the plastic implants is slightly loose, that tooth seems to be too thin and the implant next to it seems to be too big, which looks ugly. Should i be worrying, particularly as this is costing a lot of money, i don’t expect total perfection but this does not seem right. and the of the large implants at the back is not straight and at an angle and is a bad food trap.
