I am 18 years old and have terrible teeth, can you help?

Monday, May 16th, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I am enquiring about ‘dental implants’
I am 18 years old and have struggled with my teeth all my life! I have no confidence because of them and have recently been put on anti depressants because of it.

The teeth a have a problem with are my 4 front teeth on the upper jaw. They are misaligned and totally yellow. the middle of the 2 front teeth actually fell out when i was 14 and now the filling is turning black. My upper jaw is also over shot so when i smile it is only the upper teeth that show.

I have discussed many things with different dentists but i feel the only thing for me is to have them removed and replaced.

Could you please offer me your advice as i am now finacially ready to take a step towards a nicer smile!!

Thanks for your time x

My teeth are in terrible condition, what can I do?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

I dont have any insurance, and my teeth are terrible. Its to the point where i cant even eat anymore. The pain is getting worse an I have decided that I just want them all pulled. Can I just be put to sleep an have all of my teeth pulled because I want them out?? I can do a payment plan or something. They are all falling apart piece by piece an my two front teeth have a whole in the middle of them an is getting bigger as we speak an the tooth next to it is starting to get a hole as well. I have not had regular dental appointments like I should have due to never having the money for it now they are all just breaking and it is very painfull. There are so many teeth of mine that are starting to lose the white an look almost see through, my enamel is fading I believe is what the commercials say. I just would like to have them all pulled an where dentures atleast I would be able to eat an not have pain anymore. Do you think I can find the right dentist that is in it for the work an willing to help someone that needs it? I will give anything to be put to sleep an have them all pulled.

I’ve got gaps, missing teeth and damage from gum disease, are veneers a good option?

Friday, March 25th, 2011
Q.

I have some black gaps either side if my upper 4’s. I have no 3’s as they erupted late and were removed. Thre is some recession buccally too so the tooth looks like a 3 which is fine but i hate the black spaces which is a result of past perio disease from when i smoked. I have good oral health now and I have heard about guided tissue regeneration. The papillae is still present but has lost the knife edge shape. Can a specialist in this field help or do i have to opt for a bulky vaneer?

After root canal treatment, my tooth broke and dentists say I need more treatment, how can I choose the correct treatment?

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011
Q.

Hi Rob,

I avoid going to the dentist at all cost due to a really bad experience with a new dentist after my childhood Dr retired… she really hurt me and I haven’t found one I trust since.
A number of years ago I was in pain and had to visit a private dentist who in all fairness was gentle and provided a full examination with X-rays etc….. he said I needed A LOT of work doing. The first (and only) thing he did was a root canal. This seemed fine once the drilling was over and I went back for the whole to be filled. A month later the tooth split in half & I didn’t go back… eventually the other half snapped and I have been left with a stub (close to gum line) – now a few years further on other teeth are now affected. When I saw the private dentist for the root canal he said I needed at least 8 repairs/fillings yet I recently visited an NHS dentist due to pain & he didn’t even do an x-ray – basically said I needed 1 filling & refused to include a scale & polish.
I don’t know who to believe but I suspect the private dentist was right as my teeth are not exactly healthy! I have no faith in dentist but need to go again as I fear they will fall out. SHould I take the list with me that the private dentist gave detailing work required to see if the new NHS dentist tomorrow will actually prescribe the correct course of treatment?

It is hard to insist on a trea… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
