Routine for oral hygiene

Monday, March 30th, 2009
Q.
Had accident as child, hit face UR1/2 roots did not develop correctly, short roots. only found out 2 years ago never picked up by NHS throughout my usual 6 month vists or treated. had skin cancer scare, Dr picked up dark gums, refered me to hospital , found to have perio condition. Hospital never treated UR1/2 but treated the others. said UR1/2 did not need treating as they were ok and i could have ortho as teeth were crooked and upset me,after perio was sorted i paid for brace, teeth are now straight, perio condition sorted but UR1 and 2 are now so mobile i cant take the brace off NHS wont treat me, said i dont meet their criteria. I am taking legal advice want 2 implants UR1/2 to replace my loose mobile teeth, which may have worsened due to hospital saying they were ok to have ortho. Xray showed enough Bone. i dont smoke and have regular 3 month cleaning and also follow my usual daily brush /tippee and mouthwash regime what can i do? This is ruining my life

I have broken teeth swollen gums and very bad breath

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Q.
Hi Don’t know if you can help me but I literally am at my very last resort I am 27 and since having a really bad experience as a child my teeth are ok to look at but I have broken teeth my gums are bright red and all lumpy, if I tilt my head down I can see down my gums. I have terrible BAD BREATH which has caused me a lot of personal problems my partner and father of my daughter has left, I stopped going out with friends I have completely shut myself off from everyone I cant speak to customers face to face at work due to the smell I am becoming very lonely and stuck. I honestly and genuinely have bad thoughts of not living I cant see a way out I have been my dentist it took me all my time getting there as I am so scared. I am desperate for some one to help me as my 6 year old daughter dosent like to give me a kiss which breaks my heart I am single but wont meet anyone with a mouth like this. My family make nasty comments about my breath and teeth. Even standing in sopping lines and someone talks to me I have to pretend I haven’t heard them and I am very friendly and feel awful for doing this. I am so worried about this as I can not afford dental plans although I work I am also a single parent I just cant do it and I don’t know what to do I am so scared at the fact I think of worse things to solve this problem can someone help me please. Many Thanks
