i just got a filling in my front tooth and now is extemely sensitive can it be fix in nhs?
Q. Hi i have recently missed an appointment at my nhs dentist due to illness. as this was the second appointment i missed i have been removed from the practise. at my previous visit i had a filling in my front tooth, which was only slightly discoloured and was not painful at all. since havin this done my tooth is extemely sensitive and it hurts when i touch where the filling is. Shall i see if the same dentist can fix it for me at the practise where i cant go or shall i just find another nhs dentist. also i was wondering the best whitening process would be either professionally or from over the counter, my teeth are naturally yellow n this really gets me down. i wont even have my picture taken. can this be done on the nhs???
A. Firstly, whitening will not bee done on the NHS. It is a cosmetic treatment, and the NHS will see it as being unneccessary treatment. Does this make sense?
And secondly, if you have been taken off the books at your previous dentist for failing to attend an appointment, then you need to ideally find another prcatice. From the sounds of it, the tooth may just be hypersenstive orif it is tender to touch, it may well need further treatment such as root canal treatment. I would advise that see a cosmetic dentist for the best aesthetic results on your tooth- otherwise your local dental hospital may be an option?
