My Brother is in need of a dental implannt in one of his front teeth due to an accident he had 10 years ago where he feel and broke his tooth, countless attempt have been made to save the tooth and a root canal was performed a few years agao. He recently went to the dentist to have a post put in with a porcelin tooth attatched however when the dentist used air to dry the area the air when through his tooth and through the root canal that had not closed and his lip and cheek swelled instantaneously. He is now told that there is an infection and his tooth will fall out. Due the incorrect root canal procedure are we liable for a free or discounted price from the NHS for a private implant treatment and if necessary bone graft treatment. Any advice on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Can my brother claim cosmetic services off the NHS for poor dental treatment?
Monday, May 16th, 2011I am unhappy with the crown and gum contouring my dentist has given me, what can I do?
Tuesday, May 10th, 2011I have been attending a private practioner & after some gum contouring I have now been fitted with my permanent lava crowns x11. I have had other work done by the same dentist in the last year & have never been satisfied with the results, now after the final fitting I’m really unhappy I felt pressured into accepting them even though they were not made to my specifics i.e. too long & too narrow. She shortened the 2 front ones but the canines are different lengths & so are the premolars! Can they be shortened? & is it normal for all the front teeth to be a different colour to the back teeth? B1 & then from premolars back B2 she said this would look more natural!!!! But instead I look as if I have bad teeth to the side. Any advice would be appreciated.
