I have been ill lately and unable to clean my teeth, which has eroded the enamel. I am scared to go to the dentist. Can you help me?

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010
Q.
I haven’t been to the dentist in a few years. The last dentist I saw was rude and hurt me alot over a simple fissure seal, and ignored me when i told him so. This has made me really nervous about seeing another dentist since then. In the last few weeks I have noticed some of my teeth are slightly sensitive and I have enamel wearing away on three of my top teeth near the gum line. I have always looked after my teeth so I realise I have to go to a dentist soon but I don’t really trust dentists anymore and was wondering if you had any idea what could be causing my enamel wearing away? I have problems with my stomach and tonsils the last year which means now and again I get very ill and throw up alot. Its since then that I have had problems with my teeth and thought it might be because I can’t brush my teeth well during these “ill times” very well as my throat swells and the slightest pressure on my throat makes me sick. I would just like an idea of what it could be before I pluck up the courage to see a dentist again. Thanks,

Would veneers be suitable for my chipped teeth which was caused by acid erosion?

Friday, October 22nd, 2010
Q.
I used to eat alot of citrus fruit as a child and it has left me with acid erosion. My two front teeth are fragile and occasionally chip slightly, however its usually not very noticeable and they usually manage to smooth themselves out eventually. However they have recently chipped again. My dentist says that i have a good set of teeth and veneers may look fake. But i am not happy with them just now and i do not want them to get any smaller, i want them to be smoothed out and lenthened to there original size but to still look like my own teeth. i have had composite bonding but it doesnt last long before falling off and taking away more of my teeth. Do u think veneers would be a good option? if so can u recommend a good dentist in the glasgow area as my dentist doesnt sound confident on doing the job i would like?,

What can I do to restore my confidence?

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010
Q.
Hello! I am 19 year old student currently in full time education but I am very worried about my teeth. I recently had treatment for acid erosion due to drinking orange and other fruit juice, sometimes running it around my mouth. I am also worried about the gaps between my teeth, which puts me off from smiling, especially in photographs because it is visible. I don’t know what else to do or how to treat it, but I found out that the treatments are very expensive and I don’t think my parents would pay for it. The gaps are lowering my confidence and I constantly cover my mouth when I laugh. What can I do?,

Is it too late now to do anything other than remove all the teeth?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
My 32 year old son has severe acid erosion of the teeth. Was treated originally in a Leeds Dentristy School at the age of 16 but was told that treatment needed to be done regularly and would be very expensive. He now has not been to a dentist for years, is very self conscious and this interferes with all aspects of his working and social life. It would be wonderful to see his confidence come back and see a smile! Is it too late now to do anything other than remove all the teeth? Would dearly love to help him sort this out as I think the cost is also putting him off seeking advice. Teeth are now very bad, marked with black spots and seem to be crumbling away. Many thanks.,

My teeth have eroded, how much would it cost to fill in the gaps?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
I’ll try and keep this short but i have a bad acid erosion problem on my front teeth. In the past 2 years i’ve been recovering from a long suicide, obesity and depression problem and during that time i was hardly ever brushing my teeth. Now my left front tooth and the one next to it have eroaded and i’ve been sticking a bit of cotton wool into it to fill in the unsightly gap, but it’s obvious i’m attempting to cover it and i desperatley need to find something to do to either fill in the gap or cover the teeth. How much would a procedure like this cost in £ and is there a safe and cheap alternative? Thank you for your time,
