Q. I have severe dental problem, and was recently seen in hospital and had six teeth surgically removed. i’ve been told a further two or three may also have to be removed, with many others requiring permenant filings ( at the moment i have temporary ones in place) and root canal treatment. I have unsightly gaps where the teeth used to be, discolouration and decay, my teeth chip, crack and disintergrate very easily. my dentist cannot conclude how it is happening, and the high flouride content toothpaste i have been prescribed does not seem to be helping at all. Although i need all the teeth stabalised and repaired, i am interested in cosmetic dentistry. i am a 24 yr old female and would be devestated to loose my teeth, however my dentist expressed concerns that cosmetic surgery could not be carried out on such unstable teeth. Is there any further information or advise you could offer me?
