Hello,
I am 42 yrs old & have the worst teeth in the world !! !I live in Leeds West Yorkshire
I worked in horse racing when I was younger & had many falls, kicks to the face & horses heads smashing into mine..a number of occasions I know my teeth suffered terribly, I believe the front teeth top & bottom on many occasions were shunted & may have over time made air pockets round the roots. But I have to say that is no excuse. I have since the age of 9/10 yrs had a phobia of brushing !! Its hard to explain, I have tried hypnotherapy but I just can not brush, floss & gargle …. My mouth hygiene is none existant !! I tried for months seeing a hygienist weekly, but I came to the point where I no longer could afford the regular treatment. Plus it was a losing battle…I have 10-12mmm airpockets & all my teeth are very loose I have even lost one now on the bottom front row. I did have lovely teeth & smile when I was younger, my mouth was over crowded & had 4 second teeth removed & 10 baby teeth..the dentist Im afraid was known for his butchery & from that treatment me & teeth …well not a happy ending !! I only wish now I had looked after them so much better ! I have gaps now, receding gums they are just awful & I never smile, I hate my picture being taken & I have no confidence talking to people, especially strangers !! They are not painful, I have a little sensitivity but not to affect me eating or drinking hot or cold foods, but at the dentist blowing cold air or water then it gets me. But saying that I no longer go to the dentist now Im too embarrased at the state of my mouth, plus my phobia also includes dentist’s…Sorry, Please dont take that personal.
Now at the age of 42 yrs its come as the hardest ever decision to make, I must get my teeth sorted,, have a proper dentistry routine looking after….???Well….. What do you think I could do ??
Me & my husband have decided a bank loan will be taken …will I have to have all my teeth removed ? Maybe a chance of implants..?? Prob not, wont have any bone ?? Iam terrified I wont lie.
Can you please help
Kindest Regards

My front teeth are crowded and protrude but due to short roots i have been advised against braces, any advice?
Tuesday, April 12th, 2011Hello sir, i have very short roots on my front two teeth and have accordingly been advised against getting braces. My front teeth are slightly crowded, protruding by about 3.5mm. I am wondering about getting veneers to slightly reduce this, as i am an actor and aesthetics are very important to me. I have read of new dentin bonding technologies that allow veneers to correct such a problem, and was just wondering if you thought this was a wise idea. Any advise would be greatly appreciated- thanks alot

As a Lupus sufferer would I be able to have teeth extractions and implants fitted?
Friday, April 8th, 2011Hello my question to you is have you ever done implants for patients with Systemic LUPUS because every time I,ve ever had any dental extractions I’ll say ok I was dignoised in 2000 but years after I’ve developed infections So I tool it upon myself to ask for a antibiotic just in case I need it this is always a problem Im thinking about implants in the near fucture this is my concern.
My dentist tells me that I have very few options to close the gaps in my mouth which missing teeth have left, could you give me any suggestions?
Friday, April 8th, 2011Hi, I have a gap in my front teeth that has bothered me for ages, but when I’ve asked my dentist about whether they could close the gap they said it would leave me with a bigger gap somewhere else as I am also missing my 2nd set of incisors, and the gap in my front teeth stop me from having gaps there. I’m only 19 so really just want to know if it would be viable to give me normal looking teeth, or wether I am just clutching at straws.
-Thanks & Kind Regards.
