I have sensitive teeth and need a gentle dentist

Sunday, July 6th, 2008
Q.
I am not the best dental patient though have always attended (with great anxiety), and when i need treatment have always needed quite alot of local anaesthetic before I am pain free. I also have sensitive teeth when brushing which appears to be due to some small ridges at the top of my teeth (about 4 teeth) near my gums.(too sensitive for dental hygeine so lot of personal time to keep clean). I would love to have both straighter and whiter teeth though did not know if this would be possible with sensitive teeth and whether this could be remedied. (I would also need a very patient and gentle dentist!)

My front teeth are thin with acid erosion from an eating disorder

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008
Q.
My two front teeth have been eroded and thinned (thick at the gum then really slim down at the bottom) due to acid erosion caused by years of an eating disorder. Now those days are truly well behind me I am left with a reminder when I see these two eroded front teeth, which I am becoming more and more self conscious about. The two teeth either side of these face forwards so I presume would need re-allighning, however the rest of my teeth are in pretty good nick and form a good shape / curve. What would you recommend to sort these 4 teeth out, and roughly do you know how much it would cost, and could you recommend anywhere in London, many thanks.

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008
Q.
My 16 year old son has his front two teeth but the teeth either side of these are missing (they have never come through).
