My Overlapping Teeth Are Affecting My Confidence At Work, And Struggle To Pay For Finance. Can You Guide Me?

Thursday, August 29th, 2013
Q.

Hi and hello Dr Moore. I have overlapping teeth at the front on my top row, I have no confidence and cannot smile when on pictures or out with friends. I have been to many consultations and the price of veneers and root canal just seems to go up and up as I work as a pharmacy dispenser I have to pay for all my treatment. I do attend my dentist for check-ups and so on and I have tried finance also but I was not accepted due to having no credit. Is there any other payment plans by the NHS or could I get any help at all? I can’t wait any longer as my teeth depress me and sometimes I don’t even want to leave the house but I have to for work. Can you guide me please as to what to do? Thank you very much and Kind regards.

After A Tooth Abscess, I Need Bridge Work. Have I Been Quoted A Reasonable Price?

Wednesday, August 21st, 2013
Q.

In December, I had a massive tooth abscess resulting in the loss of one tooth next to my top front tooth. On the X-ray taken the dentist also discovered what was a large (16 mm) hole above it and some loss of bone around abscess area. This hole has now shrunk and I’ve been told I need a top front bridge to fill the gap (porcelain). Also my dentist has suggested I need three veneers on the other side as one tooth is set back out of alignment with the others costing a total of £4200. I’m uncertain about this, does it sound about right or should is it sensible to get more quotes!

I Used To Be A Smoker And Need My Teeth Straightened, But I’d Struggle To Pay For Veneers. What Are My Options?

Wednesday, August 21st, 2013
Q.

Hi, I am only 22 years old and getting very depressed because of the look of my teeth. I am ashamed to say I was a smoker and didn’t eat very healthy in the past. I have now stopped smoking and eating better but my teeth are still terrible because of my bad habits in the past. They’re not as white as they were and my bottom teeth are not straight and all different shapes. I hate too look at them and I hate to smile at anyone. It’s making my life hell and has taken all of my confidence away because of my wrong choices in the past. It’s even affected my personal life because myself esteem was so low I could never smile near my ex-boyfriend. I can never afford that type of money for veneers, can you please advise me on what I can do, Thank you for reading, do please get back to me.

How Can I Recover The Appearance Of My Teeth After Suffering Gum Disease?

Monday, January 7th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Hughes
I have been told by my dentist i have gum disease and have had root planing treatment. I am 43 and before being told i had this disease i considered myself to have nice teeth no crowns caps , 2 filling etc and considered i had a good brushing routine, with regular visits to the dentist,
I am horrified that it has been missed by my dentist. I have bone loss and my gums have receded leaving gaps between my teeth. my front teeth have shifted and i am going to have a brace fitted to correct this. my lower 4 front teeth look horrendous due to recession would a gum graft correct this?. i cry most days because i no longer have a smile and also now suffer anxiety attacks .I need to have this corrected as i know i will never be happy until i do , I loved my smile.
I work in the beauty industry so you can imagine appearance is important . i do not think my dentist listens when i ask about the gaps and although i know now my gums are in good health as the probings are all 2s It is the appearance that makes me cry. please advise me on gum grafting and possible cost i am at my wits end.
many thanks for your time in reading this email.

Thursday, March 15th, 2012
Q.

why does an implant cost 4 times the amount it does in other countries. i want a nice smile and it seems i’d need to go abroad to get it,

I have lost most of my teeth but cannot afford the cost of dental work, what can I do?

Monday, October 17th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I am wondering if you know of any places or if people ever do pro bono work. I am 38, have lost almost all my teeth, have barely any gums left and am always having headaches and at times extreme pain due to broken teeth. I never feel good and I believe its due to my mouth. I can barely chew food any more which is causing stomach issues now. i am in the Asheville area of NC and am a mom to a k and a 1st grader and a wife. I dont want to die early and live with this embarrassement anymore cause I know I have a wonderful life to live for. Im so tired of living like this and we dont have money so I havent visited a dentist in probably 20 years. Any ideas or suggestions would be so appreciated

Can my NHS dentist replace 8 amalgam fillings with composite/ceramic ones?

Friday, January 14th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Hughes,

I have 8 amalgam fillings done 10 years ago.

In the last few months i have been thinking that these might cause bad breath as there is a tooth decay underneath. Can this be related to bad breath?

Apart from the above I have good healthy teeth and good dental hygiene and my NHS dentist doesn’t seem to think i need them replaced.

I would like to have them replaced with white composite fillings or ceramic for cosmetic reasons and for a possible relation to bad breath.

I suppose the tooth decay underneath will still be there but less visible.

I would greatly appreciate your advice.

many thanks
