Q.
I had braces for a year when i was 17 i had them taken off when i was 18 and my teeth were perfect. but they have moved alot my upper teeth over lap the bottom but they also point upwards. when i noticed this problem i contacted my old othadontist and he wouldnt see me because im over 18. but iv started getting problems with tooth ache now i can actually feel them moving and its causing alot of pain, all the area surrounding my mouth also aches due to me not being able to close my mouth because the gap is so big. this is really getting me down and iv become really concious about myself! as i am a student i dont have the funds to go private so would i be able to get the treatment needed on nhs?

I am 26 and my mouth is a mess

Friday, January 2nd, 2009
Q.
I am 26 and my mouth is a mess. I was a meth addict for 10 years and it destroyed my teeth. Over half of my teeth are broken and down to the gum line exposing the root. There’s not one tooth in my mouth intact. I am in so much pain everyday and have been for 2-3 years. I am so ashamed i don’t have any confidence and am constantly reminding myself when around people even my husband to turn my head away or cover my mouth so they can’t see my teeth. After the birth of my 4th child i was diagnosed with CHF i have to take 5 different meds daily for life. My dr said me being so young the meds could strengthen my heart but unless i get these teeth out of my mouth i can’t get the full benefit of my meds. I also believe once a dentist sees my mouth he won’t want to bother because it’s going to be so much work to remove them i need to get this done ASAP my husbands insurance doesn’t kick in for 30 days Do u think an oral surgeon will go ahead and start on my mouth and accept payments or do i need to wait until insurance kicks in

I have known for a while I will need braces

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I am 17 years old, and I have known for a while I will need braces. i go to an NHS orthodontist and have a removable brace. However, I have been told I need to have four teeth out. This is a big problem for me because I am terrified of needles and having the teeth pulled out. I have tried to have the teeth pulled out four times, twice under sedation. I would like to know if there any braces which I could have which would not need any teeth pulling out, as I would love to have straight teeth. Thank You.

A.
It is usually possible to have… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

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!! 🙁 please help do I still have a chance?
