Plz advice on the rules for NHS dentistry in regards of crowns

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
Q.
Hello. I have a crown fitted in the front of my mouth. the gum line has receeded and the crown is now cracked (having been filled down to slim it by a dentist after It took too long to refit it when it dropped out and the other teeth had moved). it looks unsightly and the crown is partially shaven on one of the sides. My dentist says I would have to have a private crown to replace it, as its only a cosmetic problem. however, surely a less than complete crown is a little more than cosmetic. I have also developed a gum boil above the tooth now and I beleive this is becuase the slimmed down crown has allowed food to compact and enter the gum. where can I find a copy of the rules for NHS dentristy in regards to crowns? thank you

Is operation necessary for a very bad over bite?

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
I have a really bad over bite due to year of thumb sucking as a child. I also have a genetic problem which is making the overbite worse, and a very bad lisp due to this. My dentist has recommended either braces or an operation to fix this (he thinks the operation is more likely) Is this something they offer on the NHS. Do you have any other suggestions?

Yes you need to see an orthodo… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I m 28 Should I need to wear braces for overbite Plz advice

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I am 28 years old. I took my braces off 10 years ago after wearing them for 2.5 years (I also had 4 extractions 2 at the top, 2 at the bottom on the sides of my mouth). I wore my retainers for the first 2 years, and kinda just stopped wearing them after that. 10 years later…I feel I have an overbite. Please note, my teeth are very straight and I still get compliments all the time on my teeth. However, I am concerned. I went to see two orthodontists; one said i will need braces for 18 months, another said I don’t need braces, just a bite adjustment and a retainer. What should I do? I still feel I need braces for the overbite, but I feel the ortho is exaggerating the length of time in order to make money off of me. Please advise on what I should do? Also, if I have to wear braces, what is the average amount of time i would have to wear braces granted I’ve worn them before? Please help. Thanks!!

Can there be any emergency treatment for terrible toothache in NHS?

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Justin Glaister! I am writing to you, as my husband is suffering from terrible toothache for the last 2 weeks. He took so many painkillers by now, and still no help. His tooth is aching almost every day, or every second day. We both know, he should go to a dentist urgently, but sadly we can’t afford those high prices. He is on the NHS waiting list, but it is ever so long. Is it true, if he goes to the hospital for emergency treatment, he gets it for free? We come from Hungary, and waiting to go home at the summer, and sort it out there. But this pain is getting unberable for both of us. Is any advise you could give him? Looking forward to hear from you. Thank you.
