I have a scratch on my front tooth

Thursday, January 29th, 2009
Q.
I have a scratch on my front tooth, that has become really quite visible. It now appears like a small chip out of the front of my tooth. It has recently become sensitive on eating or drinking anything. I am extremely paranoid about this as the tooth appears to be very weak and i am extremely concerened about its appearance. What kind of treatments could cover this scratch/chip, and how much would these be likely to cost.

Rather than a scratch it sound… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I am 26 and my mouth is a mess

Friday, January 2nd, 2009
Q.
I am 26 and my mouth is a mess. I was a meth addict for 10 years and it destroyed my teeth. Over half of my teeth are broken and down to the gum line exposing the root. There’s not one tooth in my mouth intact. I am in so much pain everyday and have been for 2-3 years. I am so ashamed i don’t have any confidence and am constantly reminding myself when around people even my husband to turn my head away or cover my mouth so they can’t see my teeth. After the birth of my 4th child i was diagnosed with CHF i have to take 5 different meds daily for life. My dr said me being so young the meds could strengthen my heart but unless i get these teeth out of my mouth i can’t get the full benefit of my meds. I also believe once a dentist sees my mouth he won’t want to bother because it’s going to be so much work to remove them i need to get this done ASAP my husbands insurance doesn’t kick in for 30 days Do u think an oral surgeon will go ahead and start on my mouth and accept payments or do i need to wait until insurance kicks in

I have 4 teeth that are heavily filled

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have a question. I have 4 teeth that are heavily filled also on 2 of them I dont have that much tooth left. My nhs dentist has told me that they cannot fit crowns on the 2 teeth because there is not that much tooth left. Now, I dont really want to go for Implants now, because they are basically surviving on a large filling. Can i request crowns or should my dentist advise me what I should do. I basically feel like she is leaving it too late and leaving it till i dont have much tooth left and then saying i cannot put crowns on there. I am only 28 and only eat on one side of my mouth, so this is the reason why most of my teeth are filled on one side.. My question is can I request crowns or should she advise me. ..Pls can you get back to me. Thanks

Hi there i am wanting my teeth sorting out

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008
Q.
Hi there, at the present moment im an nhs patient and im wanting my teeth sorting out i wont smile when people look or talk to me, when i chew i cant use my front teeth as they dont meet up with my lower ones, they go over the top, ive askd my dentist what i can do and she just said leave them alone as your gums are not 100% perfect but ive had terrible gums all my life and nobody has said anything about in the dentistry, she also said ive got too many fillings for anybody to even assess me, how can she judge a person by this, my old dentist said the reason why ive had 2 have these fillings which were my 1st ever at the age of 26 was because of my pregnancies the babies took all my calcium from me and put veneers on my upper left 2nd n 3rd and my upper right 2nd n 3rd teeth, im 39yrs old now and my husband goes mad at me when we have family get togethers as im always behind the camera, we didnt even have wedding pictures done beacuse i wont have my photos taken or anything, please can you give me some advice as to what i could do, i dont like locally to your surgery but if i have some advice then i may be able to do something as im getting to be a recluse because of this and cant even find a job… please can you email me back thanks
