Hi,

I am looking for some advice regarding my daughters teeth. She had white patches on her 2 front teeth due to either antibiotics or repeated ear infections themselves as a small child. My husband has porcelain crowns and goes to a specialist dentist in Liverpool, during treatment my husband was telling his dentist about the white patches on my daughters teeth. The dentist asked my husband to bring my daughter along to the surgery and he would try a tooth whitening system on one of her teeth and if it worked he would apply to the NHS for funding to give her a full tooth whitening course. When the dentist examined her he said that this would not work as the white marking penetrated right through the tooth. He advised my husband that he would rough the surface of the teeth and put on a thin film paste that would cover the white patch (sounds like what you advised someone else on this site, copy attached), he advised that this would improve the appearance of my daughters teeth.

I was not happy with the work straight away as you could see a ridge right across her two front teeth and they were uneven and had indents in them as if he had taken off the enamel on her teeth. After a few days her teeth started to discolour. I took her back and told him to take off this film he had put on her teeth, he then told me that this was infact permanent and that it was a filling. He carried out further treatment to improve the discolouration on 2 occassions.

We are now nearly 3 months down the line and my 12 year old daughter is left with terribly discoloured teeth, they are orange. She is devestated and getting skitted in school. The dentist has told us that there is nothing more he can do until she is 16 and old enough for veneers. He was supposed to improve her teeth but has made them 10 times worse. My daughter now has to have veneers at 16 and obviously have the cost of replacing them another 3 times in her life time as you advised the lady below and also the up keep of them for the rest of her life.

Do you have an email address that I could email you before and after pictures of her teeth for your opinion and advice. My daughter is in 1st year of high school and is way above average ability, she has always loved school but now she doesn’t want to go because people skit her and stare at her teeth when she is talking to them. She says she puts her head down when she speaks or nods and shakes her head, she keeps asking me when her teeth are going to be fixed, what do I say? We are absolutely devestated and wish we had left well alone. Please help.

Regards Claire

Hello Claire I can see your problem here it may be worth joining the forums at http://www.cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk/forum and asking your questions there you can even post before and after pics on the forums for dentists to see. If you have any trouble uploading the pics please let us know.

If you would like to put your story in the dental Journey section of the forum it would need to be rewritten as a first hand account coming from your daughter – even if its writen by you – we can publish the pics and get some responses from dentists on the board.

I’ve had four veneers on my front teeth for the last 9 years. Last night one of them came off. It is still in tact and no damage was done. I am not in any pain so it is not an emergency but I have no dental plan or insurance. APPROXIMATELY how much should it cost to have a dentist recement the veneer back on and will it last or likely just break off again in short time ? Thankyou for your any advice I can get on the best way to handle this.

Recementing is usually fine. Expect an hourly rate of around £200 at a high street dentist.

Hi, i lost my full top teeth years ago in an accident would i be able to get veneers, or what are my best options .My mother says after a certain amount of years my gums would be too soft. If you can i woud appreciate if you could give me a price

You can’t have veneers if you’ve lost teeth, you might be thinking about implants to replace the missing teeth. You’ll need a full assessment and scan to see if your suitable, the price will vary considerably so a full quotation would be required

Hello, I was just wondering if i would qualify for free braces on the NHS. I have been to the dentist and he asked me if i wanted to be referred to an orthodontist and I said yes. now my problem is I am worried incase I don’t get free braces as i know my parents wouldn’t be able too afford them as they are on benefits. I have been told by a friend who has braces that i have an overbite and my lower incisors bite slightly into the gums at the top of my upper incisors which sometimes hurt the roof of my mouth. Also I have slight spacing but one gap is 3mm wide and it’s at the front so i don’t like to smile because of it. Do you think i would qualify for free braces?

if you’re under 18 yes you should get braces for free

I’m 18 years old, and still studying on full time education. I was wondering, If I could get braces for free on NHS ? My dentist didn’t exactly tell me that I need them urgently. However I asked her to check up, and she told me that I’ve got crooked bite, and few teeth are not in their place. Having said that, it means I could have braces, but I didn’t ask her if I still could have them for free. I hope you’ll help me with resolving my problem. Many thanks

You can ask your dentist to refer you to an NHS orthodontist to see if you qualify for treatment.
