Q. Dear Sir for the last 12 years i have suffered from stress mainly forom losing 7 loved ones i death. I have spent 2008 in and out of a NHS dentist for filings replacement front cap over a very painfull tooth.On every visit very little has been done i asked to be refered back to Leeds Dental Institute. still nothing this is my third dentist in the same practise. After my last filling on a and having been told i had gum disease i asked why can’t the front tooth thats been causing me pain for over 8 years be replaced. On every visit to the dentist after my teeth get more painfull. I do not smoke i do have high cholestrol.Im 46years old female over the lasy 3months from having problems with only 2 teeth i found a further 5 are very lose and painful. Please advice me as i can not yet offered private care. I regularly brush ,floss and have special brushes my teeth look white and people say how nice they look , but the pain is making me very down.
