I feel I am stuck with unprogressive dental treatment.

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi. I have recently broken some enamel from the back of one of my front lower teeth. I have now visited mt dentist 5 times and am back to square one. First he did a filling on the back, and the day after I had to go back as there was a very sharp edge. 1 week later im back again as it had come off. I saw a different dentist at the practice as my own was busy, who replaced the filling . 2 days later, it came away yet again. I then go back for the 4th time and the dentist decided to put a sealant on the tooth to stop the sensitivity as obviously a filling it was not working. A couple of days later, this too came off. Back I go for the 5th time. Now, the dentist did explain that these were awkward to do at the very begining, but im now back to the start postion again, with the dentist saying there is nothing more he can do, so just smoothed it down as best he could. But it still drives me crazy as my tongue keeps catching it and there is some slight sensitivity. And of course ive wasted £65. The dentists are all English, and it is an NHS dentist. And they are all extremely nice people too !!! Should I try a private dentist ? Or am i stuck with it forever ? help !

Root has lost small piece can it still support post crown?

Friday, December 4th, 2009
Q.
I have post crowns on my two front teeth one i had replaced less than a year ago because it kept coming out it has come out three times since being replaced, and to be honest, although i was told a longer post would solve the problem the post does not look any longer. The root has lost a small piece and i am worried i will end up with no root to put it in to.

My new silver fillings tastes metalic should I be worried?

Friday, December 4th, 2009
Q.
Dear Rob, I have just had a silver filling frmo my local NHS dentist. In fact I’ve had three – I knew about two but it looks to me like I have had a third added onto one of my other teeth. The third filling tastes slightly metalic as I run my tongue over it. My dentist had to reshape the filling in the next tooth – otherwise nothing else of note happened. Do I need to get the metalic taste checked out? Many thanks!!!

I have orthodontic probelm due to which I have cuts in my cheek now.

Friday, December 4th, 2009
Q.
When i was 17 years of age, i required braces and the dentist told me i would be contacted in 3-4 months, she was polish and i dont think she new the procedures well, i was busy for a-level revision so couldnt make any dentist appoinments. now im 18 nearly 19 and i require braces as my teeth are out of line which unables me to chew my food properly(my front teeth dont connect), also my wisdom teeth burrow into my check causing cuts in my cheek, i was wondering if this procedure will cost me and if so how much, also if i should be entitles to free care from the nhs as the case is more than just wanting nice teeth.
