Friday, April 30th, 2010
Q.

Are there any alternatives to this Someone has mentioned that I could have an implant but they cost £2000 which I dont have.

Is this the correct price for a dental crown?

Friday, April 30th, 2010
Q.
Hi I wanted to get my bottom lateral and central incisors crowned but I heard you get charged per tooth and that it costs around £300+ for a crown, meaning it would cost a minimum of £1200 to get those 4 little teeth done, is this really the case? If so are there any cheaper alternatives? A friend of mine recommended a dentistry where student dentists carry out the procedures for cheap but I didn’t much like the sound of that. Another friend of mine told me there was a dentist scheme in Birmingham that offered students cold crowns who were in or completed college. It sounded a bit odd to me but I thought I’d run it by you just in case it’s true. Also I am 20 and unemployed. I don’t know if that would qualify me for cheaper treatment but I thought I’d mention it just in case. Thanks for your time.

Do you know what could be causing the pain when I bite down?

Friday, April 9th, 2010
Q.
I recently (4 weeks ago) had a crown and veneer fitted on my front two top tooth for cosmetic reasons. The crown is fine and feels like a normal tooth but the veneer is painful whenever I bite into hard foods. It feels like a shooting pain from the pressure of biting into the food. I went back to my dentist and she said she didn’t know what was causing this but I’ve seen on the Internet it may now have to have a root canal treatment and a new veneer which I really cannot afford. It’s not to do with the bite alignment I don’t thin as that feels fine. Do you know why this might be happening and what might causing it?? Many thanks.,

My dentist is very unprofessional, what do you suggest?

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
Q.
Hi, this isn’t really a cosmetic question but I am really fed up with my dentist. She is a new nhs dentist (I am assuming straight out of uni) and has filled a tooth of mine with a white filling twice now. Both times it has been sensitive and she is now recommending root canal treatment. In between these two fillings she put a temporary filling in (on my friends recommendations who happen to be dentists) which was absolutely fine – no sensitivity whatsover which leads me to believe that the nerve is not the problem. She is very unprofessional and I do not trust her to do any more work on my teeth! What would you suggest? Change dentist and get the work completed elsewhere? I am concerned that the problem may be the white filling (or her work) rather than the tooth itself! Thanks.,
