My dentist has had three attempts to remove my lower left 4. Each time it would not knumb suficiently so she has refered me for sedation. I am not nervous of having teeth out but I am anxious about sedation. Can you re-assure me. Thanks

Shall I replace my amalgam fillings with white composite fillings?

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Verma,

I recently visited a new dentist. I had many amalgam fillings as a child (more than 18 years ago), and have had no recent problems with them. My new dentist has suggested I replace them all over time with white fillings.

I understand that the old filling my “leak” after time, but my xrays apparently show no evidence of decay and I don’t suffer with toothache. I’m not bothered about the cosmetic side of things- so long as the filling is doing its job, I’m happy.

Would you advise replacing the fillings?

Thank you for your time.

Could I change from an NHS dentist to a private dentist?

Monday, March 21st, 2011
Q.

I have two false teeth in the front, one of which is recent, the tooth to the left side has had a root canal and has gone black and it looks awful. The corner of the tooth has just broken off, and i will now need it seeing to. I was told that it would have to be filed down to a peg and a crown added which would cost £300 this is with a private dentist, i was seeing, the cost of my last lot of treatment has been high and i just cant afford to pay private. Could i change to a nhs dentist while still on the books at the private one? I am a very nervous person when it comes to dentists and it took me so long to go, i started to cry just filling in forms. Is there any way that the old filling can be taken out and a white one put in and the tooth be built up on the corner? Thank you for giving this matter your attention.
