Can you help, my teeth are falling out. Can anyone help me?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

Doctor,
I came here as a last resort for some advice. Im a 23 yr old mother of two and I hide in my house everyday. I’ve always brushed my teeth 2 to 3 times a day but bad teeth runs in my family though the women. My grandma lost her teeth in her 30’s and my mother’s teeth are rotting, black and just not appealing. My teeth are following down that path. They are so terrible that i dont even leave my house. Every month another piece of tooth just falls out of my mouth leaving broken teeth everywhere. Alot of my problems are in the front and you can see why that causes me not just a great deal of embarrasment but also pain! pain everyday. I saved up for weeks to make a denist appt. to see what i would have to do. Let’s just say that was a nightmare, there is no way i can affort to get my teeth fixed, or even get vaneers like i would like. i fear that i will loose all of my teeth in the coming years and i will be in dentures before i hit 30. All of the horrors i read about aging quickly after you get dentures terrify me. There has to be something i can do, some way i cant afford to get something done. My question to you is, what do i do if i cant afford it?.. is my best option waiting until all of my teeth fall out to get dentures?
Do you know someone who helps out people like me? Please help my dream of being able to smile again.. take my daughters out without having to hide my face.
Please help me,

I have had problems with my teeth for years since an infection. What can be done?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

I have had problems with my teeth for years since an infection while pregnant. My teeth have never been really white but I’ve always been told I had a nice smile. I have veneers either side of my top two front teeth. I saw the dentist today and he said my teeth are an A2 and they are not brown and he did not think they needed whitening. Is A2 a white tooth. I just have a complex these days about my teeth as I feel I’ve lost a nice smile. Also, my daughter is disabled and I clean her teeth. They are clean but food seems to stick to them. What would you recommend I use as a toothpaste (she is 13). Thank you

My buck teeth are a pain in the neck. Can you help?

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011
Q.

Im 37yrs old. over time my two front teeth have been pushed upwards, creating a upside v, but have not overlapped. I think the cause of this was a wisdom tooth, which took many years to come through. Ive since just recently had it removed, and asked my dentist advise if my two front teeth could be straighten. He didnt think a orthodontist could help, and said having them filled or even veneers would solve the problem. i was really hoping he would of refered me to a orthodontist instead, but as he doesnt know any near where i live (my dentist is in Leeds, which im there every so often, but i live in London).. i feel my only option is to have what he has said, but im in two minds if thats what i actually want.. hope you can help.. many thanks

whats an alternative to gold teeth for my son?

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011
Q.

Hello dr i as wondeing if you maybe of some assistance please i have a enquiry regarding my son , My son has 4 gold teeth in his mouth and has recently decided he wants to enlist in the navy. How much will it cost to have these gold teeth removed? He is a very nice young man who made a terrible decision at the age of 18, against my advice. He would like to follow in the foot steps of his older brother, uncle and cousin. Also would it be cheaper if he went to a dental school where students are still learning? That sounds a little scarey but he has to do something……..!!i just need some idea on what he will be paying and whether its worth it in the long ter m  ?

My new bridge doesnt match my other teeth again. What is your advice?

Monday, May 9th, 2011
Q.

Hi. I had an old NHS 3unit bridge that was done very poorly and didn’t match in proportion with my other teeth. I recently had this unit replaced by a private cosmetic dentist and she promised that she would have the teeth match and be in proportion. I went to have to bridge fitted and the bridge looks like the one before, however as I was completely numb I couldn’t talk, and she was running late and rushing, she fitted it and I promptly left. I rang the next day to see if something could be done and I think she may ‘shave’ one of the teeth down. Do you know were I may stand in getting the bridge redone as i’m not happy with it and I feel she hasn’t kept her promise? I paid £2000 and could never afford this again I saved for a very long time just to have it fitted again. Thankyou.
