Can you modify my canine tooth to be sharper?
Wednesday, February 16th, 2011Can you explain why I might not be a candidate for dental implants?
Wednesday, February 16th, 2011Q.
Hi I have had a front tooth (crowned) removed after having suffered an abcess. My NHS dentist was unable to perform root canal treatment due to there being virtually no root left and he had to remove the tooth. I have been advised that the only treatment left for me is a bridge (after approx 6 months of wearing a denture) which I understand would involve crowning healthy teeth either side. I cannot bear the denture I have been fitted with. Can you tell me why he would not mention dental implants as an alternative
Thanks
I want to save my tooth from rotting but is root canal treatment really around £300?
Tuesday, February 15th, 2011Q.
Dear Dr Rob, i have had tooth rot running through my teeth for some years now.Subsequently i have lost a lot of teeth. Having visted the dentist 11/2/2011,another rotten touth has been found.I am on the n.h.s and have been told that it will not come under n.h.s funding and unless i want to pay for it it is not worth saving the tooth.I have been told it will be in the region of £300 ,i would like to try and save the tooth. Is the cost of route canal treatment this much? The dentist is worried also that the route canal will not work.I sure there is not much you can say but as i wil have to have denture i am concerned. Would it better to loose them slowly and then spend i dont know how much have permanent teeth fitted. Any thing you can tell me or advise me would be helpfull. Yours gratefully

My epileptic son has missing teeth and a damaged bridge, what solutions are there for this?
Friday, February 11th, 2011Q.
My 36yr old son has (controlled) epilepsy. He has petit mal seizures daily but thankfully no grand mals for several years. While having a seizure he knocked out his front teeth and he was given a bridge now the teeth holding the bridge are falling out and he has a broken tooth within the bridge. He can;t seem to get any help from his dentist or the NHS.the cost of going private is prohibitive. He is extremely self conscious of smiling and embarresed in his work at a school. It doesn’t seem fair that if he had had a car accident there would be help but epilepsy doesn;t count. Can you please suggest a way forward?

I went through a patch of depression and neglected brushing, now I think my teeth are loose, what problem do I have?
Friday, February 4th, 2011Q.
Hi thanks for your time i am due at my dentist in march ( appointments booked) i went through a very bad patch of depression recently lasting 8 months where i basically let my health run down my diet, eating habbits, and oral hygiene i basically missed about 274 days of brushing im ashamed to admit however i did at points use mouth wash whenever i didnt brush ( im very ashamed of lack of oral hygiene during this time) recently ( since nov / dec time) i have got back into a routine where i have started brushing occasionally flossing and motuh washing ( cortisol gum mouth wash) basically i have noticed in last few weeks ( aprox 12 day ish) i have noticed when i touch my tongue against my teeth usually bottom front they “click” or rather feel like they move however this is not noticeable when i check in mirror my fiance tried wiggling my tooth with his fingers and said “nope thats not going anywhere thats in there” when i try the tooth with my fingers it doesnt move either i just hear a click which i inaudiable to anyone else. i have noticed a vast improvement in my gums of late and they dont seem to be bleeding as much if at all when i brush should i be worried about the “clicking/movement” or is this normal when bad teeth as i call them start getting healthier. Thanks again and any advice you can give would be appreciated
Ps my fiancee says he has noticed ive been grinding my teeth occasionally in my sleep could this be another factor of “clicking/moving” ?
I have bad teeth and a phobia of dentists and needles, what shall I do?
Friday, February 4th, 2011Q.
Hi, I have terrible teeth, I also have an extreem phobia of dentists and needles, I’ve tried to go to a dentist and have so far attempted two local anasthetic sessions with no luck, I’m really looking for a dentist that will just put me to sleep and take out all my teeth to be replaced with screw in dentures/teeth. Is this something that can be done? Ideally I’d like to do this privately and not on the nhs, I don’t mind the cost it’s more than worth it to me.
Hope you can help
