Is there a private dentist to treat our son who has abscess?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009
Q.
Hi, our son has special needs (learning difficulties etc). We have seen the community dentist who wants to give him G.A and remove all his teeth that have cavities/ gone bad. We’ re not happy with this- we feel any tooth that can be filled should be!! We’re wondering if there’s a private dentist that would treat our son, and keep as many teeth as poss!! He’s waited 6 months already for an appt to have a bad tooth removed that we know has had an abcess on it!! Please help!!

Scared to visit dentist for my discoloured rotting teeth

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I have a front tooth that is rotting, it has turned black and does not look nice, I know I need the dentist but I have not had any good experiences with the dentist hence why I’ve put it off for so long, I know I have to go sooner rather than later but I’m worried about what they will do with the tooth in question, will they take it out or can they repair it?

Am I eligible for nhs dental treatment?

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Q.
At the age of 15 I had four teeth removed and was given a temporary brace to move my teeth, then a fixed brace on my lower teeth for 9 months and one on my top teeth for only 2 months. My teeth were never completely straight at the time I had the brace removed and I stated my worries to the orthodontist. He ignored my request to keep the braces on longer. When removing the braces he cut my gums severely and did not polish them afterwards. I was given a retainer to wear and was never invited to a check up. I have expressed my concerns to my NHS dentist as I have marks on my teeth from the braces and my top teeth sit slightly behind my two front teeth. I am 18 now and a student I would really like the perfect smile I thought I was getting. Is there any way I can be referred to get the treatment I should have got at the younger age? Thank you for your time.

Teeth look long after gum receding

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Q.
My top four front teeth have been on a denture for over 20 years. During that time my gums have receded quite a lot. Both teeth on either side of the four now look silly as the teeth themselves look very long as the gums have receded so much. I have quite a wide smile/laugh but over the years I have tried to limit this as I am very aware of how noticeable the ‘long’ teeth are. Have you any ideas??

You probably need a new dentur… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
