I have known for a while I will need braces

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I am 17 years old, and I have known for a while I will need braces. i go to an NHS orthodontist and have a removable brace. However, I have been told I need to have four teeth out. This is a big problem for me because I am terrified of needles and having the teeth pulled out. I have tried to have the teeth pulled out four times, twice under sedation. I would like to know if there any braces which I could have which would not need any teeth pulling out, as I would love to have straight teeth. Thank You.

Hi I am a 42yr old woman with a a really bad phobia of dentist

Thursday, November 6th, 2008
Q.
Hi I am a 42yr old woman with a a really bad phobia of dentist due to a painful root canal filling and an aggressive dentist when I was 15 years old. Over the years I have had the odd treatment only when necessary to stop the teeth falling out. I lost my two front teeth about 8 years ago and had new ones fitted on pallet, two years ago I had to have all my teeth extracted on the top to have a full denture fitted with again the aide off sedation, as this is not available on the NHS it has been very costly. my problem now is my bottom teeth are now getting to the point where I think I may need dentures on the bottom also, I have the two bottom teeth very very loose but the others are still in good health I think (not loose) my question to you would be could it be possible to save the other teeth on the bottom and maybe fill in the missing two other than a set of dentures. If so who can I contact that is sympathetic to my phobia. Which is so bad I can’t even sit in the chair without having a panic attack.

I have very strong, healthy teeth but my right hand front tooth is loose

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
Q.
I am fortunate to have very strong, healthy teeth. I am 62 years old and have lost 5 teeth in my youth, towards the back of my mouth. I have no dentures. My family kept most of their teeth all their lives (into 90’s). A few months ago, at a time of stress, I became aware that my right hand front tooth was loose – I have no idea why. Nothing happened that I can recall to cause it and I was not suddenly aware of it, it happened gradually. It is sore if I try to bite with it but otherwise does not bother me, although I am concerned that I should do something about it. I had hoped it would reseat itself! My dentist is all but retired and I am VERY nervous of finding a new one. I am also bothered about having to have it out as it is in the front and my teeth are very white and even at present. I have never smoked.

I have a very large dog who ran into my front tooth

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I have a very large dog who ran into my front tooth a couple of years ago. Since then I have suffered pain that runs up towards my nose. Over the last couple of months the pain has subsided and the tooth is now turning a grey colour. I think it might be ‘dead’ I am absolutely terrified of the dentist and am not registered to one. What treatments are available and what do I need to do? Help- I have very nice teeth apart from this and am terrified to go and see anyone!

Sorry for the delay during my … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
