Can I fix my terrible teeth fully on the NHS?

Monday, October 4th, 2010
Q.
My teeth are in a terrible state. I have lots of broken teeth and my gums have receded. I am scared of the dentists after having a bad experience when i was in my early 20s. I am now in a position were i will have to overcome my fear as i am desperate to get them sorted but i am unable to afford the treatment. Can i get full treatment on the NHS and is it possible to attend a NHS hospital rather than a general surgery? My self confidence is at an all time low.,

My tooth have cracks and I have gum recession. Any advice would be appreciated?

Monday, October 4th, 2010
Q.
Dr Solanki, Im very worried about my teeth as i have a few issues. They are all cracked and erroading away. they feel wobbily, and i haave a bad night grinding problem. i visited a few dentists, who just seemed to want to make money off me, rather than actually addressing the problems. ive lost 5mm on both sets of teeth. I have visible cracks that are getting worse. My gums are also bad due to receeding. My last dentist jsut said that they wernt as bad as i thought , cleaned them and that was it. every so oftern i get shards of tooth break away inn my mouth, and as mentioned earlier, they are geting more and more wobbily and ground down. My dentist told me that capping could be a possible opton, but not without embracing a whole load of other issues too. im not getting very far with reegards to diagnosing issues and possible treatment. any advice would be very much appreciated. thank and regards,

My crown is still feeling unnatural after two months. Is this normal?

Monday, October 4th, 2010
Q.
Hello Doctor, Tooth number 13 had some decay which caused it to crack and lose structure. A local dentist had performed a post and crown procedure. Problem is that the crown still feels unnatural after nearly 2 months. Cosmetically it looks great, however I can feel it rub on the inside of my cheek and is very distracting. Is this considered normal?,

Q.
I would like to find a solution to get a nice white smile. Unfortunately I used to have a very bad diet and therefore have gained several fillings. Is there a way ahead for me? If so what? How much does it cost? Regards,

Do you know of any cases where white fillings have caused OFG?

Monday, October 4th, 2010
Q.
After many years of neglecting my teeth I went back to a dentist and needed some filling work and extractions. After attending the dentist for a number of months I noticed that I was getting a swelling [non tender] around the mouth and lower face. This was eventually diagnosed as OFG [ora-facial granularmytosis]. I still suffer from this and, whilst not painful, iit is unsightly. Do you know of any cases/instances where having white fillings fitted kicked off a condition such as this? I don’t seem to be able to get to the bottom of the cause and wondered if it might be the white filling material in the mouth? Many thanks,,
