I have been recommended treatment that would leave me with no back teeth, second opinion?

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011
Q.

In my upper teeth, I have a noticeable gap between my two front teeth, and I am missing both lateral incisors. I also have a twisted canine on my left side.
At the moment I have an option of having a brace on the NHS. However, I have been told by my dentist that I have no wisdom teeth coming through or 2nd molars. Also, I still have both 2nd molar baby teeth, with no premolars to come through.
I have been told by the dentist, if I have a brace they will remove my baby teeth, leaving me with more gaps. They will then move my teeth forward closing all the gaps, but leaving me with no teeth towards the back of my mouth where you chew. They won’t do anything else as it is classed as cosmetic surgery.
Can you advise me on what to do? If I was to go to a private practice, do you have any idea what they would do?

My NHS dentist never picked up on problems found by a dentist I visited in Australia – what do you suggest?

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011
Q.

hi, I have just returned from visiting Australia. Whilst I was there I visited my parents dentist and he was horrified at the state of my teeth due to NHS care. I had been going every three months and 3 days before going to Australia. The UK dentist failed to find 4 fillings, one abcess which was so bad it needed extracting and the tooth next to it needed a huge filling and two loose front teeth which have now been bound! I am now terrified to go back to an NHS dentist and have a 10 year old daughter who they checked and found to have her lower teeth pressing on her upper gum. Anyway, I would like to have my teeth properly looked at to make sure that I do not have gum disease, to assess the loose teeth for possible implants and find out what else is wrong as the Australians ran out of time before we needed to return to the ‘front’. What would you suggest for me and my daughter. Does she need you or an orthodontist and how can I manage my teeth properly if the NHS is failing me so badly.

Can my daughter switch to a private orthodontist despite already having a lower brace fitted on the NHS?

Thursday, January 6th, 2011
Q.

My 15 year old daughter has just had a metal brace fitted to her lower teeth on the NHS and is due to have one fitted to her upper teeth in January. Having seen the lower one, I would like the top one to be the ceramic tooth coloured type. Can I still now switch to private treatment to have this done?
