I am 23 years old my teeth have started rotting

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008
Q.
I am 23 years old. I have had 3 children, and during my pregnancies my teeth started rotting, so me being pregnant, thinking I could not help. I did not go. I stopped brushing my teeth for awhile because they would hurt, my gums would be very tender and bleed (they still do). I try to brush my teeth now and I still have the same problem. I have a lot of holes, a missing k-9 tooth, a couple of rotting wisdom teeth, missing moullers. It hurts sometimes no matter what I eat. It seems as though when I chew my teeth are going to just break. I’m so afraid of losing my teeth but I’m afraid of pain and I don’t like to hear my teeth being pulled out, that sounds awful. I know I should go see a dentist and I really want to, but money is always an issue. My credit is awful but I need help so bad. My mouth is falling apart and I’m so sad about this that it almost makes me feel depressed and I don’t like to smile or even open my mouth. I don’t even like to kiss anymore!! šŸ™ please help do I still have a chance?

I wear an upper denture at the moment and aged 31

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
Q.
Hi there I wear an upper denture at the moment, and aged 31 this isnt ideal. I have looked into dental implants before but have been advised twice now that I have so little bone underneath the gum that I will need bone grafts taken from my hip. Im not too sure that I want bone taken from anywhere else and also the £40k price tag will also be an issue for me. I am at the stage now where I am not even leaving the house, and when Im taking the children to school, I dont even step out of the car. I am on anti-depressants longterm due to this also. It is significantly affecting my life and I’m investigating every area of hope at the moment. I already can feel how loose my denture has become recently and know I am on borrowed time with those, so really am desperate. Any advice you could give me would be fantastic. Many thanks x

Hi I have a huge concern with my teeth

Monday, December 1st, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have a huge concern with my teeth. I have recently been confirmed as having enamel hypoplasia. Can you tell me anything about the etioliogy and pathology of this condition??? The destruction to my teeth is universal and quite serious. I am only 27 years old and this is a major problem for my self-esteem. I have seen a dentist specialising in oral diseases and aeasthetic surgical procedures and he sees my only option as having crowns put on all my 28 teeth (Yes! the damage is chronic!) I am just seeking a second (objective!) opinion based on this diagnosis and advice for treatment. Oh, and would the NHS provide this treatment? (Im assuming not). And another compounding issue is that I am a (struggling) student, financially independent from my parents. Speaking hypothetically, how much would this operation cost in the UK (with 3 root canal treatments also)?? Are the new ‘Procera-zirconium’ crowns the best on the market, and which crowns have the greatest resilience and longevity?? Thankyou.

hi hows it going ive really got a phobia about going to a dentist

Thursday, November 13th, 2008
Q.
Hi hows it going ive really got a phobia about going to a dentist which has led to me neglecting my teeth so my front teeth have some tartar stains on the 2 front teeth and on one of my fangs and a few cavitys on my front and back teeth and one of my front tooth has crackec completely in half and is hanging on by the front surface of the enamel even tho there isnt much of that left.I got an appointment to see my new nhs dentist in a few weeks times and ive been reading up about what procedures they would use for this kind of treatment and it says the composite filling will match my natural teeth color and that is what has kind of confused me as i have abit of tartar stains and my 2 front teeth have discolored quite a bit to a light brown (due to i drink a lot of teas) and i was wondering if the composite filling would match the tea stained teeth or the colour of my teeth before they became discolored and stained or is there another procedure they do to restore a brighter whiter smile and by the way im going for free nhs dental treatment. thanks alot cant wait for your reply

I was recently obliged to have a bottom far rear molar tooth canal treated

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I was recently obliged to have a bottom far rear molar tooth root canal treated, but when I went to an NHS dentist afterwards for a crown he told me that wouldn’t be necessary for six months. Now I read that uncrowned root canal teeth are at risk of fracturing especially with a heavy bite like mine. What is your opinion given that I would be hard pushed to finance private crown treatment having already laid out, what for me is a very large sum of money (£560) for the canal work. Also, after four weeks the treated tooth is still sensitive to the touch (though no actual toothache as such). Is this a cause for concern? Thanks for your advice
