My dentist told my daughter her painful tooth was fine, she had to have it removed since! Any advice please?

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Q.
My 10 yr old daughter has made two visits to our NHS dentist in the past 4-5months as she was complaining of toothache in a lower lhs tooth. The dentist made an examination on both occasions and said the tooth was fine and only sensitive. She has since had to visit an emergency dentist due to pain, and he said the tooth is so badly decayed it is past saving and requires extraction! He also said it had been this way for some time. Can you please offer any advice? I am also upset as she will be left with a gap as this is an adult tooth. Are there any options in this case please? Thanking You,
A.

I’m not happy with my dental veneers, what can I do? Please help!

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Q.
Hi I have had my teeth whitened, gums sculptured and 4 veneers on my top teeth, the total cost is £3000, although so far I’ve only paid one finance installment. The veneers were fitted today and I’m really unhappy with the result, the teeth are too big and too long, they are not of even length and are not regular in their shape or appearance. I don’t know what to do and although I appreciate it may be difficult for you to comment on the result, can you advise me as to the best way to proceed. I know the veneers were made in just 3 working days (due to a mistake made by the dentist) and I wonder if that has effected the quality of the veneers I’ve ended up with. I don’t know whether to trust the dentist to try again or whether I should refuse to pay and get a different dentist to replace the veneers. Please help, i’m so upset!! I can email you before and after photos if that will help you to answer.,
