My dentist is giving me a bridge in 6 months can I get I sooner?

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have had alot of problems with one of my front (at the side a bit) teeth. I have had root canel on it, then it cracked it two. I had the back bit removed and then the filling fell out the rest so the dentist decided to take it out. I got it taken out 4 days ago and had a plate put it immediately due to its location. I have been in pain since….and it doesnt seem to be relenting. I am finding the plate very uncomfortable and struggle to eat!! in fact i know its only been 4 days but i hate the plate, i dont like the poligrip very much but forcing myself to put it on!! but i feel really like i want to gag all the time, its really sore at my tooth, itchy at the top of my mouth and im constantly thirsty! My dentist is giving me a bridge in 6 months time, I was just wondering if there is any reason I have to wait this long? Can i ask for it sooner as I really dont think i can last 6 months with the plate! Also do you have any advice for the plate situation now….I dont want to go back to my dentist as along with all this ive been in and out with wisdom teeth extractions (where my face balloned) and feel that im always there! but toothache is so bad!

Is there any alternatives to a plate that covers the whole roof of my mouth

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Q.
I knocked my 2 front teeth out when i was 11 and a dentist filed them down and put teeth in that were on posts. I am now 38 and one of the roots cracked and have had it removed in the last couple of days.I now have a whole plate with 1 front tooth and a couple of back teeth(which never really botherd me that they were missing). The plate feels horrible is there any alternatives to a plate that covers the whole roof of my mouth. I have read about implants but they are out of the question due to the cost. Many thanks for any advice you can give.

What would be the most affordable replacement for tooth plates

Monday, April 13th, 2009
Q.
Hi, My wife has a nine tooth plate which covers most of the front teeth. She is very self conscious about her teeth and ses she cant enjoy her food since the plate. I cant afford dental implants but was wondering if she could have some implants that would allow her to have a bridge fitted.

Is there any other type of dental plate other than plastic ones?

Thursday, April 9th, 2009
Q.
Following the removal of two front (upper) teeth, my dentist has informed me that I would not be considered for dental implants because I smoke. She has given me a totally fake looking dental plate which I cannot wear as my mouth feels full of plastic and I keep retching. She has also told me that there is no other type of dental plate. Is this correct?

I am devastated at thought of having a plate with hooks

Saturday, April 4th, 2009
Q.
Good evening Brief history: 26 years ago a dentist advised me I needed to have all but the middle bottom 6 teeth capped (crowns). As result I’ve been left with legacy of problems. Lots root canal treatments, extractions. Now struggling to find NHS dentist and have bridge (upper right) needing removal due to 2 rotten stumps underneath. Bridge upper left reglued 2 mths ago (tiny stumps left). Am only 52 and just lost partner 2 months ago (suicide) and now face having 6 teeth out(upper) leaving 4 capped teeth at front. Am devastated at thought of having a plate with hooks (until top 4 teeth removed in future). Personal confidence absolutely rock-bottom at thought of it all. Not sure if I have any options due to expense of everything. Any advice, prices, options etc very welcome. Money is huge problem but don’t want to feel that no man will want to kiss me again. Am not bad-looking, apparently, and would like to think someone out there might be interested in future but with wonky teeth somehow doubt it. Sorry if this sounds despairing…feel that way. regards
