Would braces be done on NHS or private?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
Q.
I visited a new dentist for a check up today and they are refering me to an orthodontist. I am 22 and still have a baby tooth, I have been told that my adult tooth has come through but under the skin at the roof of my mouth. They told me that I can have an operation to pull my adult tooth through but then I would need a brace. Do they do this on the NHS or would it have to be private? The tooth causes me discomfort and it looks horrible. Thanks,

Why do veneers keep falling off? Any other options?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
Q.
i broke half my front tooth off at junior school and had a veneer which over time stuck out and looked discoloured so aged 21 i decided to have a new veneer now 2 years later ive been through 3 veneers as they keep falling off, the 3rd 1 this morning! do you have any idea why they keep falling off? my dentist says the glue will never bond like it did the first time i had the veneer 12 years ago. am i wasting my time and £ with veneers? should i go for a crown? i’m worried it will look really different and it’ll be obvious its a crown.,
