I have a small hole in my teeth and i need filling are they available only in NHS

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009
Q.
I recently went to the dentist and she found a small hole on one of my teeth. She has x-rayed it to check for decay and told me to come back. I have a couple of questions.. I am going away for the whole summer and can’t get an appointment before i leave, is my tooth likely to get worse in this period of time? Also, im terrified of needles, and have been told dentists use them to give pain killers when doing fillings -is there any other way my dentist will be able to give me pain killers? (on the nhs) Lastly, I’m worried about the appearance of fillings, I’ve never had one before and don’t want the ones that appear black, are they the only ones available as an NHS treatment? Thanks very much for your time.

Is surgery for an underbite, considered cosmetic surgery? what kind of insurance should I carry for the possibility, that my child should need the surgery for her underbite. current orthodontics believes she may need surgery, but will wait until right before she turns eighteen years old.

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009
Q.
Went to new nhs dentist in march, exam no problem, scale and polish broke bottom cusp of tooth and caused rough patch between front teeth, went back he used plastic ridged smoothing strip and put it between two teeth very rough, tooth started hurting from that moment, also cut my lip, wrote to owner of practice who checked front tooth xrayed it and said it looked ok, and the pain would subside, saw another nhs dentist at practice, who sold me a tube of tooth mousse and said to use it for two weeks, still no end to the pain, went on thursday, she drilled out a filling at the back of my front tooth, also said I has decay under the gum and put another filling at the top of front ooth under gum, then filled in between two front teeth, when I got home I could not put my teeth together or eat as there was so much composite filling in front tooth, that my bottom teeth kept hitting it, could not get appointment with her that day to have it smoothed down, so had to go private to another dentist to have it smoothed so that I could eat, all weekend the two front teeth feel like there is something stuck between them, and also feel very heavy like there is too much filling in them, I still cant eat properly and am in a lot of discomfort, please help me with some advice, I have asked for an appointment tomorrow, but dont feel that I should let this dentist near me, can I ask for the practice owner to see me again to rectify this mess, many thanks, really need an answer asap, if possible

my mouth is in very bad state my teeth at the back are rotten what are my best option

Monday, June 1st, 2009
Q.
Im a 19 year old who is petrified of going to the dentist. the last time i went was in 2003. My mouth is in a pretty bad state, two of my teeth at the back are rotten(beyond repair in my opinion) some of my lower back teeth need fillings and im pretty sure i need a root canal as i am in pain. I am too embarrassed to speak to my parents about this and with limited funds. Finally, i would like to be sedated as much as i can as just the thought of the dentist starts to make me panic. what are the best options open to me?

Ive got Nail Patella Syndrome and is there any permanent options other than maryland bridges

Saturday, May 30th, 2009
Q.
Hiya Dr Moore I’ve got Nail Patella Syndrome which has affected my teeth. I’ve had lots of work done on my teeth since I was a child. When I was 15 – 18 I had four maryland bridges put in which have lasted 15 years. The problem is one keeps coming out now and my nhs dentist keeps cementing it back in but it just keeps coming out again. I asked my dentist if they could do anything different ie implants as he said they use maryland bridges as temporary measures these days. He more or less said i’d have to go private as they would lose out on money if they did another type of bridge. What happened to patient care. It’s really distressing me now as i take pride in how I look and it’s embarrassing as it’s right at the front of my mouth. Any advice, can they do inplants or any other type of bridge that will be permanent. Many thanks for your advice. I couldn’t afford to go private and I don’t see why I should when I pay my taxes. The nhs in useless these days isn’t it.

i have been bulimic for years and now i need to replace my veneers would i be covered

Saturday, May 30th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I have been bulimic all my teenage years therefore suffered with rotting teeth. I had veneers put on them when I was younger and more financially independent. I have however had them replaced when I wa pregnant six years ago and obviously didn’t have to pay then. But they are starting to feel a bit wobbly now and going a bit brown and there is no way I can afford new veneers. I am so scared I am going to be left with no teeth. Would I be covered?
