I have decay in the crowned tooth which anchors my bridge

Friday, January 23rd, 2009
Q.
I have just been told that I have decay in the crowned tooth which anchors my bridge The other anchor is a crown also. The bridge was to fill a gap of one missing tooth. The bridge was only fitted 18 months ago. My dentist has advised that I leave the bridge and wait for it to loosen or until it gives me pain. She said my option would be a denture or implant eventually. I’m really concerned about just letting the tooth rot away. Can you advise if this is the right procedure

I am 23 years old my teeth have started rotting

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008
Q.
I am 23 years old. I have had 3 children, and during my pregnancies my teeth started rotting, so me being pregnant, thinking I could not help. I did not go. I stopped brushing my teeth for awhile because they would hurt, my gums would be very tender and bleed (they still do). I try to brush my teeth now and I still have the same problem. I have a lot of holes, a missing k-9 tooth, a couple of rotting wisdom teeth, missing moullers. It hurts sometimes no matter what I eat. It seems as though when I chew my teeth are going to just break. I’m so afraid of losing my teeth but I’m afraid of pain and I don’t like to hear my teeth being pulled out, that sounds awful. I know I should go see a dentist and I really want to, but money is always an issue. My credit is awful but I need help so bad. My mouth is falling apart and I’m so sad about this that it almost makes me feel depressed and I don’t like to smile or even open my mouth. I don’t even like to kiss anymore!! 🙁 please help do I still have a chance?

My top front teeth have tooth erosion caused by fizzy drinks

Thursday, December 4th, 2008
Q.
Hi, My top front teeth have tooth erosion caused by fizzy drinks. They don’t look to bad at the moment, but you can notice if you look closly. My enamal is coming off the tops of my teeth and the bottoms look a little see-through. I am rather concerned about this and was wondering what the cost and procedure would be, without having to get porcelan veneers as i do not have the money for that.

Hi I have a huge concern with my teeth

Monday, December 1st, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have a huge concern with my teeth. I have recently been confirmed as having enamel hypoplasia. Can you tell me anything about the etioliogy and pathology of this condition??? The destruction to my teeth is universal and quite serious. I am only 27 years old and this is a major problem for my self-esteem. I have seen a dentist specialising in oral diseases and aeasthetic surgical procedures and he sees my only option as having crowns put on all my 28 teeth (Yes! the damage is chronic!) I am just seeking a second (objective!) opinion based on this diagnosis and advice for treatment. Oh, and would the NHS provide this treatment? (Im assuming not). And another compounding issue is that I am a (struggling) student, financially independent from my parents. Speaking hypothetically, how much would this operation cost in the UK (with 3 root canal treatments also)?? Are the new ‘Procera-zirconium’ crowns the best on the market, and which crowns have the greatest resilience and longevity?? Thankyou.

My daughter has been told that she has lost most of the enamel on her teeth

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008
Q.
My daughter has been told that she has lost most of the enamel on her teeth it has worn away and they need bonding to prevent them becoming sensitive, I a concerned that she is taking this at face value without rewsearching the long term effects etc. Is this a well known method of dealing with this problem? She says its the fizzy drinks she had as a child Could it be the cider she now drinks as she had fine teeth till she got to 18!

Hello I seem to have a rotting decay in my mouth

Monday, November 17th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I seem to have a rotting decay in my mouth and have about 8 teeth already removed with several more falling apart and in bits(half a tooth or one with a big hole in), it runs in the family, i am only 28. i had my baby last year and the dentist(nhs) treated me for some of the work as he said he could not get funding for all the work that i needed. I went about 5 times. i said i wanted them all ripped out and he said he will refer me to the dentist hospital where they can do it all for free as they are in-training but said it can take ages. i have phoned the dentist but they just say it takes a while. Is this the only way to get dentures without paying the earth, your advice is much appreciated, many thanks
