What kind of treatment is advicable to ingrown teeth?

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Q.
Hello i’m 17 years old and have two ingrown top teeth of my top four. I was wondering if veneers would be a possibility on the nhs or if you think i would be aligiable for veneers because the teeth are queit far back and veneers would have to stick onto the actual teeth? If not what dental alighning method would you suggest to strighten my teeth? would a normal nhs brace strighten my teeth? though i would much rather cover my teeth instead as alighning my teeth on the nhs will be lenghly. thankyou.

Veneers in this situation are … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Will root treated tooth turn black over time? If so, how to get rid of it?

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Q.
Hi Please can you help? I had a root filling done on one of my front teeth 5 years ago….the same tooth has been going black ever since. I have recently changed dentists and have discovered that when the original root filling was done a piece of cotton wool was left inside, so no matter how much i brushed my teeth it wasn’t making a difference to this tooth. This tooth is now causing the tooth next to it to discolour. My dentist has told me that because i get nhs help (full exemption) then there is nothing they can do for me? I think i need a cap or crown on it (don’t know which). The tooth is causing me real self confidence problems and i dont know what else to do. I hope you can help. Many Thanks.

Is there any difference in quality between the NHS crown and a private crown?

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Q.
Hi. Thank you for offering your advice here. I’ve had a porcelain and metal bonded crown on my main front left tooth for the last 6 years. It is fitted on my actual tooth which has been filed down to a small stub. Recently my porcelain crown broke in the middle of the night. It just fell apart at 5am. I didn’t bang it and dont hink i have ever banged it as im very carefull with it. Only the porcelain broke off. The black metal is still on my tooth with the permenant dentist glue. I have a HC2 certificate. What is the difference between an NHS crown and a private crown? Shouldn’t the quality of a NHS crown be the same as a private crown? Am I entitled to request, under my entitlement to rights from NHS dental treatment received, that i would like the NHS crown to be the same quality as a private crown? Am I entitled to an all ceramic crown under my NHS HC2 certificate rather than a porcelain/metal bonded crown? It is for my main front left tooth. Looking forward to your advice. Many many thanks.
