I’ve Had Epilepsy The Last 12 Years And My Teeth Have Fallen Out. Would I Get Implants On The NHS Due To My Condition?

Tuesday, June 24th, 2014
Q.

Hi. I have been on medication for epilepsy for the past 12 years. Over the years my medication as changed to cope with my epilepsy but this has caused my teeth to go bad and fall out. I am a 34 year old man with 3 children and it’s getting to the point where my kids don’t want to be seen outside with me. I have been offered dentures but I am scared that if I have them put in and the dentures are loose that I could choke. When the doctor told me I had epilepsy, all my dreams and all the hard work disappeared. Do you know whether the NHS would provide me with implants due to my condition?

I Have Been Unable To Wear My Partial Denture Due To Gum Recession. I Have No Idea Of Where To Turn To.

Tuesday, June 17th, 2014
Q.

Hello Mark, I wonder if you can advise me. Approximately two years ago I had two dental implants fitted, one either side of the lower jaw to hold a partial denture. I have been unable to wear the denture for quite a while due to really bad gum recession on one side. The dentist who fitted the implants has since been struck off by the Dental council so I have no idea where to turn to? The lower part of the implant is on show by quite a large amount as the gum has gone and it is tender at times but the implant isn’t loose. Also the denture doesn’t lock on to the implants. Many thanks, any advice would be appreciated.

I Don’t Like My Top Partial Denture And I Would Like A Rough Estimate Of How Much A Bridge Costs?

Thursday, April 3rd, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. My problem is that I have a part denture at the moment, right hand side top, I think my dentist said they were, only one tooth was broken but my dentist took the two out, I didn’t realise at the time, because of the injection I couldn’t feel anything. I now have to wear this disgusting part denture and I hate it, it hurts the roof of my mouth. I would like to ask how much would it cost me to have a fixed bridge? And how long will it take to do? Thank you.

How Long Does It Take For The Pain To Subside After Dentures Are Fitted?

Thursday, January 9th, 2014
Q.

I already have full dentures and I would like to know if I should go to the dentist and get them gold plated? How much would it cost to plate all teeth in the denture on both top and bottom with gold?

Other than that cosmetic question I was wondering how long should I be in pain after my teeth have been removed and the dentures placed in my mouth? It has been 3 weeks and the holes where my teeth came out of are still bothering me. The pain I would say is mild but when I try to eat even ice cream I am using my tongue to eat it and when I press against my top denture it is still quite painful. They fit just fine and are staying on very well and I feel the pain where the tooth used to be so I am figuring it is not a fitting issue.

To be honest I am not sure if … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

What Is Causing The Metallic Taste In My Mouth?

Monday, July 29th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Moore. I have a metal plate with five teeth placed on it but have recently started to have a metal taste in my mouth daily.  I have had my existing denture for about 30 years now and I would like to know –  is it safe to clean the denture by soaking in regular steradent cleaner?  I used to use denclen which worked really well but I cannot purchase this anymore, from anywhere. Could you please advise me on this problem? I often get mouth ulcers. I regularly go to the dentist and because of receding gums have at lease 2 yearly visits to the hygienist. Yet, there’s still problems and I’m not sure what I should do. The metal taste is bothering me and it’s affecting the way I taste food. I don’t enjoy it and I’m always worried. Please help!!

My Father’s Dentures Are Causing Him Extreme Pain, Can We Arrange Treatment?

Tuesday, April 9th, 2013
Q.

I’m making this inquiry on behalf of my father who is petrified of the dentist and has not been for years. His teeth are getting so bad it’s affecting his life, he can’t eat, is in pain and is more to the point very embarrassed about it all, I can’t talk to him about it as he just goes very quiet but it’s making him miserable and us along with him, I feel if I find the right solution for him then he will make the move and get his teeth sorted out once and for all but I don’t know who to turn to? His whole top layer are false dentures which are ill fitted and he needs at least a new set of those but his bottom teeth he can’t even brush they are that sore, I can not imagine the daily pain he is putting up with but I want to help him (they could need all taking out) I need someone to help us and give us the options, he has had a lot of trouble with his teeth since being 13 years old having smashed his teeth on the ice (hence the dentures) so he has several problems around fear, pain, embarrassment etc, please could you help or point me in the right direction, cost is not the issue it’s getting him happy again.

Kind regards.

My New Dentures Cause Me Pain And Make It Difficult To Eat, Is There Another Option?

Friday, March 15th, 2013
Q.

Hello. I have recently had my top 4 front teeth extracted and dentures fitted immediately. However I am not able to chew my food as my bottom 4 teeth prevent me from a full bite. I having to drink soup or eat very soft food as I can only use my tongue to ‘cut’ my food. The plate in my mouth is making the roof of my mouth sore and unable to bear pressure. Due to poor bone density I have been told my other teeth will not support a bridge and I don’t have a lot of money for implants. I was wondering if there is any other way or a thinner or more flexible denture (that is provided by the NHS) or is this my lot. I have the added problem of having a husband whose blood goes cold at the thought of seeing me with my missing teeth. Any response along with possible costs would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation.
