Would an NHS dentist be able to remove my gold tooth and replace it with a white one?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hello, I have 2 questions: 1. About 4 years ago I had a tooth removed near the back of my mouth and replaced with a gold one. I would now like to have the gold one removed and replaced with a white one, would a NHS dentist do this for me and how much would it cost? 2. One of my front lower teeth is much further back than my other teeth, would it be possible to have it removed and the subsequent gap filled or have it pushed forward? Again, is this a private dentist matter and how much would it cost? Thanks for your time.,

Can my wife receive cheaper treatment?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Solanki – My wife (32) has suffered in the past with bilemia (from 13 to approx 25 yrs old), and this has caused her terrible probelms with her teeth. She has lost most of her back teeth and her front teeth are very weak with fillings and cracked in places, which to some extent has caused her to be depressed resulting in mild return of the eating disorder. She/we are on benefits (child tax credits) but we both are also working and she holds an NHS card – we unfortunately just cannot afford to have the neccessary dental work done, quoted at £7k, can you please give us any advice on how and if we could recieve and help from the NHS or where we might find treatment cheaper?,

Do you think I’m suitable for dental implants?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi I am 30 years old and had a plate put in about 5 years ago to cover 4 missing teeth in my front lower jaw. This was due to very poor oral hygiene on my part when I was growing up. There was a concern at the time that one of the teeth the plate anchors onto was also weak. Unfortunately, that tooth is now due to be removed. I do smoke about 2 cigarettes a day (trying to quit), I brush regularly and only drink water and try my best to avoid sugar as a result of all this but I feel as though I’m fighting a losing battle and I don’t want to lose anymore teeth. The plate can hurt when eating food and it is difficult to take in and out every day. I spoke with a consultant at the NHS yesterday and he was totally dismissive of the idea of implants. I know I would have to go private, that’s not a problem, but he told me not to bother wasting my money. I am concerned, however, that the plate is putting pressure on my other teeth and is causing me too much discomfort. I’m desperate to get this sorted out and I wanted to get a second opinion. I realise you’re a leading expert in this field and I was wondering if you could offer me any advice as to the best course of action? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Yours,
,

My front tooth has dropped down because I was hit in the mouth, what can I do?

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010
Q.
Hi – I got hit in the mouth hard. My front right tooth took the brunt of the force and dropped down a bit lower than it usually sits and got pushed back. It bled a lot at the time and now it t’s 3 days later and it hurts really badly. Will this heal? Can I shave/file off off the bottom of the hit tooth so it will stop hitting the lower teeth causing me pain? I have no money for a dentist and getting a replacement tooth. No money to go to the dentist at all right now. Can they put the tooth back into place. My gum is a bit black and blue from the hit.
