I am 55 and over the past 5 years I have noticed my underbite getting worse! I had a glucose test, it was negative. I need surgery on it. I am getting pain in my jaw,and it’s popping all the time. It gives me headaches .I am very self conscious about it too! It affects my eating and speaking . Should I go back to my dentist for another referral? Or should I go to a GP? I’m getting desperate! My bottom teeth are way in front of my top teeth,
Hello Dr Hughes. I have a question for you. I have a very painful tooth and gum, which is currently preventing me from eating properly. I can’t get an appointment with my dentist at the moment. He suggested that I take Ibuprofen but it is not making any difference. What else can I try/use? I do have a hole in the tooth which has been there for a very long time. I don’t think I can wait for 2 weeks to see my dentist, do you think I should see my GP?
Thank you for your reply in advance.
Hi there, I’m 19 and have an overbite, I’ve been to an orthodontist before and I had braces with had no ending result and I want to correct my jaw it’s effecting me as a person and confidence so have been thinking about corrective surgery, how would I start to go about it if i want it done?How/where/cost how long does it take? What are the risks and what’s the shortest time it could take? Any side effects any risk it doesn’t work? Would I be able to arrange an appointment and be ongoing the surgery within a few weeks of that?
