Thursday, July 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hi About 17 years ago I had veneers fitted to my front 4 teeth. This was done on the NHS to cover damage caused by the extreme cold whilst I was serving with the Royal Navy in Icelandic waters. One of the veneers has broken and needs replacing. Will the NHS cover this ?? I am now with a different dentist and have no proof that the NHS covered this work.

My gums around my upper right molar have been swollen could it be an infection in my gums

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009
Q.
My gums around my upper right molar tooth have been swollen for a while, but the area is firm. They become more swollen when I do not get much sleep, but I noticed today that the size difference between my right and left is significant. The area is a lot larger. I’ve already gotten my wisdom teeth taken out. Could it be an infection in my gums or another molar tooth growing out?

A.
Its likely to be an infection,… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I had a porcelain veneers on the NHS and it is stained where do i stand regards veneer replacement

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009
Q.
I had porcelain veneers put on my four upper front teeth about ten years ago on the NHS. My dentist at the time said that the staining on my teeth was caused by a brace I had as a child that hadn’t been maintained properly by the orthodontist. He felt that as the NHS caused the problem, then they should fix it. Where do I stand with regards to having these veneers replaced? Would the NHS pay for replacements, as they caused the damage requiring them in the first instance? (unfortunately I’m currently not working) Thanks

Im 46 year old male whose two front teeth protrude what can be done to address the problem

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009
Q.
I am a 46 year old male whose two front teeth pretrude though would not be considered butt teeth. There is a discenible gap between the teeth either side of them though more so on the right side (as you look). My bite is very much not a level one with the bottom teeth at the point of the curve and therefore across the front. I have been conscious of this for many years and only now would like to try and see if the problem can be addressed. Many thanks
