Why can’t I get NHS dental care? (UK)?
I’ve never had a filling and my teeth have always been in good condition. After I had my son I went to the dentist who told me pregnancy gave me a calcium deficiency and would need around 5 fillings. I had to move to Kent which is 5 hours from that dentist so I couldn’t [...]
Some advice from a dentist/dental assistant? (Needs a detailed answer-please don’t bother if you can’t be)?
A family member of mine needs to get braces at some point. Since it is so hard to describe, he was willing to let me take some pictures in order to try to get some advice before picking a dentist. When he was about 5-7 years or so of age, approximately, he somehow fell and [...]
Has anyone ever experience this (dental problem)?
Last Friday, my husband had 3 teeth extracted, as he had been in agony for about 2 weeks with cavities and broken teeth. When the dentist pulled the top tooth, he noticed that the nerve or part of the tooth (I’m not sure which) was going into the sinus cavity. The dentist stopped what he [...]
Why do I regret getting dental work done?
I am 26 and about 4 years ago I got my front 5 teeth bonded for cosmetic reasons. The original teeth were perfectly fine, but now that I have done it I feel regret and like I have done something severely wrong. I think about it all the time and seeing other people teeth just [...]

Has anyone ever switched dentists in the middle of having major dental work done due to negligence?
I was at the dentist’s office having work done on fitting a new crown. While shaving the tooth down with the drill, somehow, someway, the drill got away from the dentist and bore into the underside of my tongue requiring about 5mins and about 10 swatches of cotton to control the bleeding before he could [...]
Can I Get Dental Insurance?
I have suffered from gum disease for most of my adult life. I have a bridge for my front 2 teeth. Now I have an abscess in my lower jaw and lower front 4 teeth feel loose. There is a lot of receding gum showing. I have (NHS) appointment next week. I am anticipating dentist [...]
Does anyone have full health, dental and vision insurance that costs close to McCain’s $2500 tax credit?
My individual insurance costs around $7000 a year. I expect it to go up. I have friends that pay more on individual plans just for medical. If McCain’s plan were in effect many businesses would no longer be allowed to deduct the costs of the health-care they provide and so would drop them. Anyone that [...]
Can a dental implant replace baby teeth?
I have a condition where I am missing the adult teeth for the maxillary lateral incisors. Once the baby teeth fell out, though, the adult canines (cuspids) shifted and replaced them. The result is that I ended up with two pairs of canines – the adult ones, and the baby teeth. The baby ones aren’t [...]
