I haven’t treated my teeth well and now they are in a bad way, can you offer some advise?

Q.

Hi,

I have SLE as I must admit that I have not treated my teeth as well as I should have due to my fear of dentists however now I feel that my teeth are getting really bad due to my condition and I am embarrased to go out, I have been to my dentist to get help, but what I want to know is can I get any reconstructive help on the NHS for gum repair and missing teeth or anything, I’m only 42 and I want to have the confidence to back out to work ( I am a qualified IT Operations Mgr) but since being made redundant 3yrs ago and applying for numerous roles I haven’t had the confidence to continue applying. I feel very depressed about this, I hope that you can give me some advice.

Many thanks

I am missing a few teeth, besides dental implants, what else can I have done?

Monday, January 17th, 2011
Q.

I need some extensive work done on my mouth as i have a lot of teeth missing which were removed due to infection and the use of cocaine when i was younger. Im now 28 and very concious of my smile, it affects my attitude and my confidence severely. Even though no one knows – i know.

I have 7 of my front teeth but most of my teeth along the bottom back sides are missing and need implants..i have looked at the costs of these and there is no way on earth i could ever afford them! Im in full time employment but my wages will just not allow for this expense its far too high. Is there anything I can do – its driving me insane!

I had an operation to remove a cyst and because it has destroyed my mouth, I lack confidence, can you suggest treatment to correct this?

Monday, January 17th, 2011
Q.

Hi, i wondered if anyone could help me. I am 37 and gone through alot with dentists. I had a cyst growing in my mouth and was left to grow for 18yrs or more, when a new dentist came along i was referred to the hospital but i had to have a big operation. I had crowns already and missing teeth from the old dentist and lost all my confidence i hate my teeth. But, i have now no bone left in the roof of my mouth and the case was lost because of causation. I havent alot of money and i dont know where to go but my mouth is such a mess, i dont go out much apart from work cos i have really lost all confidence. Do you know any work i can have done that will reconstrut my bone, fix up the 4 front crowns and fill in the gaps along the top where my teeth are missing and sort out the fillings and discolouration from the rest of the teeth…or am i always going to be like this? i have been told my teeth have a life expectation of 3 yrs since the op which took place in feb 09…am really worried.

Do i qualify for dentures on the NHS?

Monday, January 10th, 2011
Q.

15 years ago i used a teeth whitening set with gum shield at home, but my teeth didn’t go whiter, they went darker so i used more and more of these whitening sets, my teeth ended up falling apart and my problems started. Now 15 years on i am now 31, i have 5 caps on my front teeth, 7 missing teeth and all my teeth are black, and i mean black, the more i brush them the smaller they are getting, also when i had the caps fitted to my front teeth they are the wrong size and angle so i can not bite anything at all with my front teeth, i also can not eat using my side teeth as i don’t have any teeth on the bottom of one side, and the teeth on the other side are breaking apart as i have chewed on the same side for almost 15 years, i have my health visitor coming to see our baby and she has already sent me to the doctors 6 times as she thinks i am starving myself, i am not starving myself though i simply can not eat, i have lived off soups and soft sandwiches for years now and am very thin. also as my teeth are a horrible colour i do not have any photos of myself at all for the past 15 years, not one wedding photo and none at all with our 3 children, this is destroying my life. i am an NHS patient as i can not even begin to afford private work with the amount i need done, i wanted to ask what are my options? do i qualify for a set of false teeth so i can eat and smile again? i know i’m young for false teeth but i don’t know of any other way, i just can not believe i have destroyed my teeth by trying to make them better, i had no problems at all untill i used the teeth whitening product all those years ago, can you suggest anything at all please?

I don’t have any enamel on my teeth, what can I do to look after them to prevent losing them?

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011
Q.

Hi there. I was born without any enamel on my teeth and have had years of pain and constant visits to the dentist to have work done. My dentist has never really advised me on what I can do to help keep the decay at bay, although I do follow the hygienist’s advice on brushing and flossing. Can you offer an opinion? The state of my teeth is really affecting my confidence and I am developing a fear of the dentist. My Father lost all his teeth at 17 due to this and I am terrified of the same happening to me (I am now 29). Many thanks!
