My 13 Year Old Son Has Had a Tooth Knocked Out. What Shall We Do?

July 2nd, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. My son is 13 and lost one of his front teeth whilst playing football with his friends. I’ve been looking at our options online and am not sure which treatment would be best. It’s only been 6 days since it happened and he’s very upset. As an image-conscious teen he’s worried about what people will think about him and it’s upsetting for me to see him so unhappy. What do you think the best treatment option would be? Thank you so much.

Can I Get Dental Implants on the NHS?

May 31st, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Fahey. I recently had one of my front teeth taken out, about a month ago. I do have more missing teeth around my mouth, mostly at the bottom but there’s 2 at the top as well. I’m currently seeing an NHS dentist and I am currently unemployed. My teeth make me feel very unhappy and implants would solve all my problems, do you think the NHS will pay for them? They’re too expensive for me to pay for myself.

Can the Implant Procedure be Carried Out Under Anaesthetic?

May 24th, 2015
Q.

Hello Dr Bohara, I have 4 missing teeth at the top of my mouth on the right side and I want to have them replaced but I have a really really sensitive gag reflex. I’ve always had problems going to the dentist because of this as I’d gag even if I was only having a check up! But it sounds like I need implants so I just wanted to know if the procedure can be carried out with me under anaesthetic?

My Daughter Has 10 Missing Adult Teeth. What Kind Of Treatment Will She Need As She Gets Older?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Andrew. My daughter had her first dental X-ray today – she’s 9. The dentist has told us that she has 10 adult teeth missing, so will only have 18 adult teeth. She has had 4 adult teeth grow through. She has been referred to an orthodontist for further treatment. Please can you tell me what options are available to her as she gets older. Obviously, having 10 missing adult teeth could impact on her eating and speech. We are worried about her future and her self-esteem.
Any advice would be greatly received.
Thanks.

I’m 48. Am I Able To Have Dentures Fitted At This Age?

February 1st, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr. Fahey. I have gum disease and my current dentist said I can’t have dentures or plates fitted where my missing teeth are. This is a problem as I’m very self-conscious when smiling. My dentist said I’m unable to have existing front teeth taken out to have dentures as I’m only 48. I’m worried that I’ll never be able to smile properly. Will I ever be able to have dentures? I’d be grateful if you could advise me.

Are Dental Implants The Way To Go For Me?

January 25th, 2014
Q.

I have three missing teeth and my doctor has mentioned overcoming this with dental implants. I have a real fear of any kind of surgery or needles and wondered if I had any other options? One of my missing teeth fell out about five years ago so my doctor isn’t sure how successful an implant would be there as there may be little bone left in that area. It all just seems too complicated and serious. I have had five years with no tooth and there have been no problems. but i have changed are and my new dentist isn’t happy leaving the hole in my mouth. He is very keen on the idea of dental implants but I am too worried to find out exactly what the procedure is. Do you think this treatment would be best for me or something less severe like false teeth?

Generally I would say advice f… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is it possible to get orthodontic braces if you have dental implants?

September 29th, 2013
Q.

Can orthodontic braces be used even if the person has dental implants in place of missing teeth? I have two implamts on my top jaw, after losing them due to an accident some time ago. They sit next to my two front teeth, which are what I would like to have corrected as they stick out horribly, drawing unwanted attention and comments all the time and just making my feel very self-conscious about how I look. Although I really want to have them straightened, I also do not want to risk the health of my two implants that have proved good so far, so do you think it is possible to have the Inman aligner without causing any damage? Thanks for your time.

I am 31 and this has been the case for over 10+ years however, recently i have started to have some real problems with my jaw with painful symptoms and an occassion where almost lock jaw which really scared me and made me anxious. My dentist has given me a denture but I feel too young for this kind of treatment and would like to try something different. Whats the minimum amount of implants i would need to get a bridge?

I have an issue with the price and treatment time of dental implants. Can you advise?

June 10th, 2013
Q.

Hello. Can you please advise me. I have had a missing tooth for a couple of years now and I find that the gum keeps on swelling up, this often happens when i eat certain foods and it thenh gets stuck down there.
I think it is time for me to finally do something about this problem but i am unsure about what treatment to have that
would be the best for me.I am considering getting dental crown and dental bridge work and also dental implants for my missing teeth. I have somewhat of a problem with dental implants. My issue with dental implants though is the price and how long it takes-can you convince me otherwise about this situation? Thank you for giving me this time.

Q.

Hi. I am 22 years old, and I have 3 missing teeth. One of them really affects my confidence. It’s the upper left 1st bicuspid i believe. I don’t smile properly because when I do, it shows and I really don’t like it. The other two which are missing are the lower left and lower right 2nd molar, which makes chewing on either side quite difficult. I was considering having a bridge, until my dentist told me it might affect the health of the surrounding teeth. Initially, I would like an implant in my upper tooth, but it sounds quite horrific. I get a little anxious with some dental work. I have a couple of questions if you don’t mind: Would I be under general anaesthetic during the implant? How much would it be likely to cost for the 1 tooth? How long do they last? Does all of the implant need replacing, or just the crown/denture that goes over the top. I am considering saving some money to get it done because it really effects my self-esteem. I lost that tooth when I was 17, but only had the root removed last year. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
