My bad teeth is influencing my daily life please suggest on my issues.

Thursday, November 26th, 2009
Q.
I am wondering what help is available to me. I had to have my top teeth from the canine teeth backwards out 10 years ago due to absesses. Since then I have suffered depression with no confidence and can not form a proper relationship in case anybody finds out that I wear a denture. I have been to a dental hospital who estimated it would cost £30,000 with bone taken from my hip. I have heard of other ways of having implants cheaper without the bone from my hip. Would the NHS be able to contribute because I have suffered with depression for all these years and lost out on 10 years of my life? Every dentist I have gone to have been very unsympathetic and it has come to the point where I can not bear daily life because of this. I think of my teeth 24/7 and it has restricted my life in so many ways. I would be grateful of any advice you can give me or who to go to next. I can not afford to go private Please help.

Unfortunately your only root i… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I want your suggestion on wearing dentures

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Q.
I currently wear dentures but the lower was originally made with a bar on a few of my teeth; but then one side came out of the gum; so the dentist removed the other side; so I’ve been wearing the lower using the pad. Now, I did go to a dentist who made a new complete set; however, I can not wear them-the lower-the first time the front teeth was almost laid out flat; so I couldn’t bite, chew, talk or sing; so he had it redone & then it was straight up way back behind my top; so I can’t chew-they just sit in the container. What should I do? They were very expensive to not be worn. The dentist did offer to refund half ot the money but at that time I refused. Should I sue him because if I call or go by; there is usually no one there.

A.
You should be aware that lower… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Best solution to fix new bite?

Friday, November 20th, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr Moore, I am 42 years old. I had my mouth half full with crowns by 20 yrs old. By 34, many were needing to be replaced. I begged the dentist to give me an upper plate. I made a good case and I got it. He made me 4 or 5 before I got a good fit. I still have to use a large amount of Fixodent daily to keep it in. Now, at 42 I have had most of my bottom teeth extracted and Im down to 5 in the front. THere are no other teeth/replacements on the bottom at all. The plan is to remove the 5th tooth and I will be left with 4 in the front, and get a partial bottom plate. And make a new top plate to fix the new bite. How will the teeth in the back stay down? I will need to glue down with fixodent? Will it somehow hook on to my front teeth? People Ive known with this, had hooks onto back teeth which I do not have. Please let me know. At this point I just want to be able to chew again.

A.
Anything put into the lower ja… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
