I m 18 can I have treatment for my teeth at NHS?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr. Patel, At the age of around 12 I chipped my front tooth after a fall leaving less than half of my front tooth behind. I had a filling applied to this, but the tooth has gradually darkened over time. I’ve heard that this is due to internal bleeding within the tooth. Yesterday, this filling fell out and I am yet again left with half a tooth. The tooth in question is a few shades darker than my other front tooth and it looks very bad. I’m an 18 year old on a gap year, with no money at all. Would the NHS be able to help with my problem because it really looks awful? Thank you

Is it normal to get pain and aching or strange sensations after crown fitted

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Q.
I had a crown fitted a couple of years ago on a bottom molar. I suffered a lot of pain shortly after it was fitted and at an emergency appointment with a dentist it was necesary for a hole to be put in crown to relieve pressure caused by bleeding.The hole was of course filled afterwards. The crown is still sensitive from time to time – I get pain or aching or strange sensations which lasts for a few days and then it settles. Is this normal and if not what is the likely cause?

Any alternative to place temps after removing old crowns and veneers

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Q.
I am having some old crowns/veneers replaced. I have had a consultation and wax-up. My next appointment is to have my old crowns/veneers removed and temps. fitted. What if I don’t like the temps. Will they be what the permanents are going to be like and will I have any control over the shade and shape etc. at this stage. I always thought that temps were made and you could look at them before old crowns removed and be happy with them before proceeding. I am puzzled. Look forward to your reply

I agree the purpose of the tem… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
