Does NHS do teeth straightening?

Monday, March 23rd, 2009
Q.
Hello Doctor, I was wondering if i could get any treatment for my teeth on the NHS, or any special funding. the problem is not major, just for the top row of teeth need straightening. i am 18 and still in full time education at college. I did originally start treatment with an orthodontist using retainers when i was 13 but this treatment was halted as we had problems with the orthodontist. So i would appreciate it if you could provide some information. Many Thanks,

Why is root canal so expensive? Is the treatment not available on NHS?

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Moore, I recently had four front caps fall out. I went to theNHS dentist and he said I would either need a denture or root canal treatment the latter costing up to 13 hundred pounds. Is this treatment not availableon the NHS? He fixed the four teeth back in but as one of the posts was broken he said it would only last a short time. Thank you.

The veneer on my two front teeth came off

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009
Q.
Hello. I need some advice regarding a chipped front tooth on the right side. I chipped it some time ago and i went to see my dentist and he said he could fit a veneer for me. He fitted one on the chipped tooth and one on another front tooth because another overlaps it and he said he wanted to make them look at lot straighter. The veneers came off about a week later because he said the two front teeth are not the same size as each other and overlap. One of them keeps pushing the veneer off the fron tooth and he said it is major works and i should ask him about that later because he is not sure what to do. I am really depressed about it and i hate my image because of it. Could you give me some advice about what could be done. I am also a single mum who relys on NHS dental care so what else will they offer apart fronm veneers. Thanks

i was on steroids for a number of years this has led to teeth loss

Thursday, March 5th, 2009
Q.
Dr Andrew, about 4/5 years ago i was diagnosed with retro peritonial fibrosis, i was then put on a heavy course of steroids for for a number of years, this led to my teeth loss as i was prone to a lot of infection, my dentist rather than saving any teeth just used to pull them out, i always remember, i have a couple of solid teeth, he had to break them off to get them out, so now i have dentures, the same has happened to my lower jaw, although i,m off the steroids, i only have three lower teeth, the dentures i have are useless as they are loose and bottem ones no good,How can i get them to make a good set of dentures as the ones i have are always loose and so thick, also could i have any chance on NHS implant treatment even as a practice patient, i am 44 years old, or can they make a slim set of dentures, i like that picture of your patient with one tooth, and then fully restored set, any advice would be helpful. kind regards
