I need to change my dentist as my teeth in total are messed up.

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
I am a 29 year old male and near enough all my back teeth have either fallen out or are decaying really badly. I have my front teeth however I feel unless I am able to get some help with this I then they will go the same way. Not to bore you with the details however I have been through a pretty tough time over the past few years and medication has not helped with the decyaing of my teeth I feel. Due to this I have not visited a dentist for years and this has meant I have ended up with the teeth I have. I am now at a point where I both need and want to do something about them and I feel if I could get partial dentures to the back of my mouth, both upper and lower this would help me out. The problem I have is that I live in Scotland, (Glasgow Area) and I do not know who to go for to help me out and also any idea of the cost I would be looking at for this. I am totally and utterly embarassed by the way I have let my mouth/teeth get into the mess they have. I do now however need help and would hate for a dentist to give me into trouble for the mess of my mouth as I am already mortified. Any help or assistance you are able to give would be greatly apprieciated. Thanks very much in advance

After my bridge broke I am considering implants please suggest.

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
I had a bridge spanning a gap of two front teeth attached to one canine and one incisor(think thats what its called middle front top) The bridge broke this week and broke the root of the front incisor and broke the post in half in the canine. My dentist says there is no option but to remove them and have a plate. As I have Sjogrens Syndrome, a dry mouth, I am looking for a different option if possible. I take 7.5mg of prednisolone daily for polymyalgia rheumatica and 150mg monthly of ibandronic acid for my bones to stop osteoporosis. Could I be a candidate for implants? Should implants be put in at extraction or do you wait till its healed? Obviously there is a gap where two have been extracted many years ago which would require implants as well. Advise please as extraction is pencilled in for Thursday next week

Hello Dr. Moore, I have a dental bridge for a missing teeth for past 18 years (front upper).
