I don’t want to have my teeth replaced with false ones, what are my options?

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
Q.
im a 42 year old female with very poor teeth. they r getting very loose all over i can feel thm shaky and i cant remember ever in my life being confident to show them off. im ashamed of thm and it gets me down constantly. i consider myself to be attractive apart from the teeth which i cover up with my hands when having a laugh etc. my boss at work tells me tht i dont have to have thm all removed and replace with falsies. this is wot i think ismy only option now. if i ever want to gain confidence in my apperance. i have totell u tht at the back of my mouth is like a derlict building with my teeth thru the years decaying etc. i had a crown fitted almost 16 years ago when pregnant with my daughter. it was at front next to my eye tooth. i had it 13 years until it fell out and i had tht replaced again but swallowed it by mistake and just never went bk to my own dentist again. the reason for this was because she was never very sympathetic with me and i felt i couldnt approach her or ask her advice. and if i was to be total honest with u i hated going to the dentist. lol. im regreting now thti didnt look after them and lay off the fizzy juice and sweets. its my dream to have a nice smile. is tht possible? id appreciate ur honesty even if its not wot i wanted to hear. lol. please can u advise me on which route i shld take. thank u x,

Are my teeth decaying?

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010
Q.
I have these black spots in my teeth and i think they are spreading. I started seeing these spots a few months ago and just went for my regular cleaning and they were gone. But now my 5 upper teeth and 3 lower teeth(inside) have black spots. Does this mean that my teeth are decaying? How can i stop the spreading and treat these black spot? Is teeth whitening the solution?,

My son has Asperger’s syndrome and his teeth are awful now, what can we do about them?

Monday, July 19th, 2010
Q.
My son has Asperger’s Syndrome and is 17. He was very ill a few years ago before he was diagnosed & began making himslef sick.This started the decay in his teeth, but he still has v poor dental hygeine and will not brush or let me near to brush and is very nervous of dentists.I have contacted a few in the area but they are loathe to treat him due to his nervousness.He is now starting to feel happier in himself due to medication (Prozac) but his teeth are in such a state it holds him back. Any recommendations? I am prepared to pay for his treatment even though he is under 18 as it is such a shame to see him with such awful teeth,

My mum’s dentist won’t replace her crowns, what other treatment would you suggest?

Monday, May 24th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Andrew, I’m writing on behalf of my mother, in the hope you can offer me some advice. My mum has 6 crowns to her top front teeth – those visible when she smiles – which date back to the mid 1990s. My mum had them done via her NHS dentist, who she has visisted all of her life and whom has perfected all our her 5 childrens, including my own, teeth. Since then, the crowns have become discoloured, stained and basically look awful. Her own tooth on the top left side of her mouth, where the crowns stop, has subsequently cracked and there is now a gap. Many of her other surrouding teeth are either missing or heavily decayed. Her bottom teeth are not crowns but are also in dire condition – they were discoloured and yellow, but some of the enamel looks as though its chipped away and started to peel (thats the only way I can describe it anyway, its as though her front teeth have different layers, similar to an onion, and two of her front bottom teeth have a number of chipped ridges to them). Depsite this, her dentist – the same one who performed her original crown treatment and still treats her today, along with myself and my siblings – refuses to replace the crowns, even though my mother is a paying NHS customer and has offered to pay privately or be referred – the dentist simply says ‘he wont do them, it can create more problems’. My mum is turning 50 in July and looks great, apart from her teeth. They really bother her and my Dad has offered to pay for new treatment, even if its done privately, though veneers will almost certainly be too expensive. I believe that my mums teeth are probably too decayed to have any more crowns fitted, especially given her age….. wouldn’t it be pointless? Do you think dentures would be the best alternative? I would really appreciate any help you could provide because it seems some dentists, face-to-face, will tell a prospective patient the only suitable method of treatment is, surprise surprise, the most expensive! I would like to be reassured with some information before making appointments for consultations, so we are aware of the options that may be available. Any assitance would be greatly appreciated! Kind Regards Paul. P.S – Sorry for the essay!,

I’d like my teeth to look whiter, what do you advise?

Thursday, May 20th, 2010
Q.
Hello, Since being a young age i have suffered with my teeth, for some reason they use to decay and discolour quickly. At the age of 8 i fell and broke my two front teeth of which i now have a cap and bridge. I could never understand what cause my teeth to be like this as i always had a good diet. A few years ago my teeth starting improving and i went to a new dentist, she told me i had some sort of disorder which caused my teeth to decay and discolour, do you know what this is called?. As you can imagine it was a relief to find out that it hadn’t been my fault, i am conscious of my teeth now and would love to have them whitened, i looked in to this but have recently been told that my cap and bridge can not be whiten. They are naturally a little whiter than my naturally teeth but i was just wondering if you thought it was possible for them to lift a little lighter. If not what would you advise.
