What would be the cost of treatment crown whitening cleaning

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Q.
I have been a sufferer of bulimia nervosa for about 8 years now and have suffered very severe enamel erosion as a result of it – I haven’t been to see the dentist in a long time because I know my mouth is a disaster area and until I have managed to recover I don’t want any dental work done that I might later wreck again. I imagine my mouth is full of cavities etc so that will have to be treated and I was also wondering what the cost of cosmetic treatment would be? At the very least I would guess I need crowns on upper front teeth (front 6 at least) because they are transparant at the edges – every tooth in my mouth has a greyish discolouring where my teeth are turning transparant at the tips and are mostly yellow everywhere else so I will most likely need cleaning and whitening too. Could you estimate the cost of this treatment? Is treatment even possible do you recon? Thank you for your time.

I have experience treating pat… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What is your opinion on using botox to combat bruxism

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have quite a bad bruxism problem and have done for about 10 years. I have a mouthguard (tanner appliance), but recently my grinding seems to have got worse – as soon as I have my appliance adjusted the next morning there are already deep grooves in it. My teeth are being visibly worn down on one side, are feeling fragile and are starting to move. I also feel that my gums are receeding. I also have facial pain, my jaw sounds like it’s crackling when I move it from side to side and my facial muscles are painful and sometimes swollen. I recently tried a muscle relaxant prescribed by my dentist but without success. I have heard about botox and wondered what your opinion was on its use to combat bruxism? Is it recommended generally and is it safe? Many thanks in advance.

A.
Thanks for your email. All the… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Thursday, July 9th, 2009
Q.
Hi, im 22 and for years i have battled both anorexia and bulimia nervosa, i havent had an attack in 6 years. Due to all the excessive vomiting and lack of nutriants, i ruined my teeth and gums. Im needing alot of work doing on my teeth- wich has just started- and i keep asking my dentist for a dental implant to be put in where one of my teeth has come out but he keeps saying no, he’d bridge it.. Will a bridge last being anchored on two rotten teeth? or could i get the nhs to pay for the one implant to stop my teeth closing in on themselves and me needing braces? Iv been picked up by model agencies but im really self concious about the gaps in my abused teeth. what can be done?
