15 years ago i used a teeth whitening set with gum shield at home, but my teeth didn’t go whiter, they went darker so i used more and more of these whitening sets, my teeth ended up falling apart and my problems started. Now 15 years on i am now 31, i have 5 caps on my front teeth, 7 missing teeth and all my teeth are black, and i mean black, the more i brush them the smaller they are getting, also when i had the caps fitted to my front teeth they are the wrong size and angle so i can not bite anything at all with my front teeth, i also can not eat using my side teeth as i don’t have any teeth on the bottom of one side, and the teeth on the other side are breaking apart as i have chewed on the same side for almost 15 years, i have my health visitor coming to see our baby and she has already sent me to the doctors 6 times as she thinks i am starving myself, i am not starving myself though i simply can not eat, i have lived off soups and soft sandwiches for years now and am very thin. also as my teeth are a horrible colour i do not have any photos of myself at all for the past 15 years, not one wedding photo and none at all with our 3 children, this is destroying my life. i am an NHS patient as i can not even begin to afford private work with the amount i need done, i wanted to ask what are my options? do i qualify for a set of false teeth so i can eat and smile again? i know i’m young for false teeth but i don’t know of any other way, i just can not believe i have destroyed my teeth by trying to make them better, i had no problems at all untill i used the teeth whitening product all those years ago, can you suggest anything at all please?

Do i qualify for dentures on the NHS?
Monday, January 10th, 2011How long will i have to wait to wear a denture after my bone graft?
Monday, January 10th, 2011Hi
I had a front tooth extracted 6 months ago, and due to short roots on my front teeth, a bridge is not an option. I have a denture at the moment, but I have been told if I want an implant, I would need a bone graft first. Will the graft damage or loosen the teeth either side, and how quickly will I be able to wear my denture after the graft. Thanks

I have a gaping hole between my two front teeth from severe gum disease; can i have a row of dentures made on top?
Thursday, January 6th, 2011 Hi Dr,
I’m wondering if you can help me, I have suffered from gum disease in the past and have had it treated but its left me with a terrible problem, I have a big gaping hole in my gum where the gum has wore away completely, at the front of my mouth between my right front and 2nd right teeth. Its really noticeable and some rather uncouth people have commented on it in the past which makes me more paranoid about it. I’m wondering that because the gum has wore away would it be possible to like have my whole front row of teeth removed and have a row of dentures made? or would there be any other way around this problem, the rest of my teeth are fine and don’t need work its just the two that I mentioned.
Look forward to hearing from you soon

I have new dentures – 7 front teeth top bridge on a chrome platform – but they are painful, what can I do?
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011I have just picked up my new dentures. They are a 7 tooth front top bridge on a chrome platform. They look awful, dont fit and hurt me. I was told to go away and let them bed in for 3 to 4 days. After 4 hours I have raging toothache as I am sure the tooth to the side of the bridge is being pushed sideways and the chrome plate comes nowhere near the roof of my mouth. I cant eat, cant smile and cant talk. What am I to do, I am beside myself with worry.

How long do dentures last?
Tuesday, January 4th, 2011I currently have dentures, after many years of treatments at various dentists and continuous pain and abcesses, I gave up and opted for excision! I am happy to keep the dentures, but I was wondering how long they last, my mouth seems to still be shrinking, despite having the troublesome teeth removed 3 years ago, this is my 4th plate! many thanks
