My root canal tooth got reinfected what are my options

Thursday, August 13th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am an nhs patient and do not have to pay dentist fees. I have recently been to the dentist because I suspected a tooth that had root canal treatment had become reinfected. The dentist confirmed what I thought but said that it may need a specialist to do the treatment, this will cost £700-800. The dentist who I am currently with are different to the dentist who did the treatment so should I go back to the original dentist? Also as I am a student it’s going to be hard to pay for the treatment is there any ways around this?

A.
They may say that the tooth ca… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I had a crown fitted 10 yrs ago and a few months ago it began to annoy me as it was catching on my tongue causing minor ulcers .I made an appointment with my dentist and he smoothed my crown off ,since then i have had problems eating when eating cold n hot food .On returning to the dentist he is now saying that I have fractured my crown although I think it was him when he smoothed my crown off .

Where should i go to have a new crown NHS or Private

Friday, August 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi there, I’ve just been to the dentist (for the first time in years!). I’m lucky in that my teeth, gums, etc, are generally in good shape, but I do have a mark on my two front upper teeth which I’d like removing. The dentist was a bit confusing, talking about the treatment available on the NHS – vaneers underlined with metal which becomes visible after time? She said that crowns weren’t available on the NHS and that I’d have to go private, paying £310 for each tooth. However, I’ve been doing a bit of research and it would appear that crowns should be available, at the higher payment category, but would be of lesser quality to those provided privately. I’d like some advice on where to go from here – I’d obviously rather go the NHS route, but if the quality/life expectancy of the private crowns is significantly better, should I go this route? Thank you…

A.
The life expectancy should be … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My daughter is not happy with metal brace what are the alternatives

Friday, August 7th, 2009
Q.
My teenage daughter has been accepted for nhs treatment to have fitted braces. However,after years of being bullied and miserable because of her crooked, prominent teeth she is noe mortified at the thought of having a mouth full of metal. We asked if we could have a white upper brace and pay the difference but we were told that this was not possible and it would mean us paying the full cost of treatment £2300 we cannot afford to do this. Someone informed me that a gps letter stating that the metal one would have neg impact on her well-being would help. Is all of this info correct? would we have to pay the full amount? Thanks

A.
I would advise asking an ortho… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is it possible to receive immediate dentures on NHS

Friday, August 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi. A few weeks ago i was told by my dentist that all my teeth had to be removed. I have already had top and bottom teeth out on my right side and am due to have the rest taken out. I have read on different websites about immediate dentures that people have after having all teeth removed. My dentist have not mentioned anything about these and i was wondering if they were only available with private patients. I am on benefits so am nhs. Is it possible to recieve these on the nhs or do i have to go without teeth until my mouth have healed enough for dentures? (not something i am looking forward too as i’m only 36) If they are available to nhs patients is it something that is offered or do i have to ask? Thanks very much.
