Hello, i’d just like to know if i’m dentally ‘normal’?! i’m 32 years old, female, and work as a government researcher. i’ve got 7 fillings on my teeth (a couple very large) and a crown with a root treated tooth. is this normal for my age? i realise that everyone’s different, but, in terms of the cases you see everyday, does my dental work fit my age or have i had lots done? many thanks.

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009
Q.
Went to new nhs dentist in march, exam no problem, scale and polish broke bottom cusp of tooth and caused rough patch between front teeth, went back he used plastic ridged smoothing strip and put it between two teeth very rough, tooth started hurting from that moment, also cut my lip, wrote to owner of practice who checked front tooth xrayed it and said it looked ok, and the pain would subside, saw another nhs dentist at practice, who sold me a tube of tooth mousse and said to use it for two weeks, still no end to the pain, went on thursday, she drilled out a filling at the back of my front tooth, also said I has decay under the gum and put another filling at the top of front ooth under gum, then filled in between two front teeth, when I got home I could not put my teeth together or eat as there was so much composite filling in front tooth, that my bottom teeth kept hitting it, could not get appointment with her that day to have it smoothed down, so had to go private to another dentist to have it smoothed so that I could eat, all weekend the two front teeth feel like there is something stuck between them, and also feel very heavy like there is too much filling in them, I still cant eat properly and am in a lot of discomfort, please help me with some advice, I have asked for an appointment tomorrow, but dont feel that I should let this dentist near me, can I ask for the practice owner to see me again to rectify this mess, many thanks, really need an answer asap, if possible

Would home filling of a chipped tooth is safer than a private dentist

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi, about 10 years ago, when i was about 11 years old,i fell in the shower and chipped my front teeth. At the time, the dentist filed down my teeth to straighten them out but, i guess, he couldnt straighten them completely because of the bite. So now, i am left with slighty wonky teeth, making a small upside V shape between the two. This really upsets me and hinders my confidence. I recently went to the dentist to ask for a cap or some extra filing but he said he couldnt as the cap would be too small whilst filing would be problematic for my bite. But to be honest, i’m not to bothered about my bite as i have an underbite anyway, i just want my teeth to be straight!Is there anything i could do? would private dentists do the job? or ive even read about home filing on the internet, is this really safe? Thankyou…
