Is it true that I can do only one crown in NHS per year

Monday, August 17th, 2009
Q.
Dear Rob, I have been to the dentist this morning and was told I needed 2 crowns, at a cost of £400 each (despite being NHS patient) After much talking she said I could have only 1 done on the NHS, and if I wanted a second one done it would have to be next year. Is this correct? She also said I have to see a hygienist before she will do any work…I thought that the money you pay for NHS treatment covers a clean & polish but she has doen nothing like that! Can you please just clear this up for me as I think she is just trying to make me spend as much as possible! Thanks for your help!

My main concern is a vertical fracture on my front tooth can you advice on it.

Sunday, August 16th, 2009
Q.
My teeth are generally irregular but I am realistic that this is probably something I have to live with. However, my main concern is a vertical ‘fracture’ on my front tooth. I am very nervous that the tooth will soon break in half but I don’t want to consider crowns as I’ve seen the horrid tell tale sign of the grey as the tooth enters the gum…URGH! Please can you help? ps I’m a scuba diver.

My daughter is 10 and the dentist has advice to have crown fitted on her is it the best option?

Friday, August 14th, 2009
Q.
Hi. My daughter has had trouble with her teeth since she was a toddler. I have been advised that this was due to her having suffered from a severe bout of Chicken Pox at the time when her tooth enamel would have been forming. Now aged ten, her dentist has advised that when all her adult teeth are through, she should have crowns fitted. Can you tell me, is this her best option? Also, because of her age, this will be done ‘on’ the NHS. What materials should we expect to be used? I’ve been told crowns should last between 10-15 years, if the materials used are of good quality. I’d hate for her to be troubled by her teeth all her life. Thanks.
