My teeth are bad and i dont know what can be done?

When i was young, i had a dentist that told me stuff when i went, then when i went back, he didnt do anything. IE. Give me a telling off for having decayed and squint teeth... saying "when this one comes out we will get u braces" then when it did come out he couldnt be bothered basically.





I grew up from the age of 9 to 25 only seeing a dentist if my life depends on it. (pain). I have had 2 teeth extracted (the molar beside each top canine) and without noticing it, i dont smile. I come accross as no sense of humour coz i dont like it... never have.





Thats just me now. Second nature.





I dont see the point in dentures, they seem massive effort and the reason i have bad teeth to begin with is coz im lazy. I dont wanna be adjustin my teeth all the time looking like mrs doubtfire.





The tooth to the right of the one that is extracted has now split but during the last extracted 8 years ago and this new problem, i had a decayed tooth....

If you are in the UK and not working you can see your dentist for nothing. I know a lot on here are going to give you a hard time over this, and I feel for you myself. My sincere thoughts go out to you, ten fold!


I have to go to my dentist on the 30th. I have been 'dreading' this for about the last 3mths. It is a check up. We have to have them in the UK every six months. I only recently found out about this when I had to find another dentist because my other one had 'archived my folder' because I hadnt seen him since 1996 or something ridiculous like that. I hadnt realised that you have to go there, make an appointment every 6mths, take up his time and an appointment that someone who needed him could have had, and you have to go in the surgery, thumbs up, and say 'Alright mate, how ya doin..jus thought Id pop in and waste half an hour of your valuable time..what? no theres nothing wrong, I just wanted you to see me...' For pity's sake, if I did that to my doctor he'd lob me off his list ... what goes on!!!!


As a youngster I had a very bad experience at the dentist which I never ever got over.


I have a tooth at the top that is at its gum level like you have, but they 'crowned' it for me, and now its no problem at all. Admittedly that was after a dentist, who has since left the old surgery, had filled it over an absess and I ended up having root treatment...





I have problems with one at the moment. Its a wisdom tooth, its not long ago come through, (Im not at the usual age for wisdom teeth, Im a lot older {maybe Im thick and thats why they didnt come out til now lol}) Anyway, the dentist gave me an injection which didnt work, dug around and took most of my gum away, filled it on the gum not the tooth, now it snapped the filling and the tooth, its very sharp and is embedding itself into my face and cheek. And Im petrified of dentists but Iv have no intention of going near him til I have to on the 30th, but Im not expecting any sympathy either, but you people have to realise that just cos you arent scared or havent had 'bad experinces' you are lucky, so dont be shitty to us who have had it bad where the dental flossies are concerned.

Reply:See a dentist more often. Brush your teeth twice daily.
Reply:I think you already know the answer to your problem----see a dentist. Only you can take care of yourself and nobody else. Be lazy to see a dentist now and you'll regret it later why you didn't go sooner. Then you have yourself to blame.
Reply:Please see a another dentist and keep brushing your teeth twice a day and floss your teeth, this gets rid of all the food that get stuck between your teeth.
Reply:Well, I would defiantly see a dentist about the decayed teeth and pain, but while you're there you should ask him about Lumineers. They're porcelain veneers that are so thin that you don't have to get you teeth ground down or anything. I'm not sure how expensive they are, but here's the website for more info.

Reply:well there's not really a cheap way about this issue- i would recommend veneers as a previous poster - i've seen them on the 10 years younger prgramme - they make a reallybig difference and will make you feel more confident. They may be expensive but to be honest they will sort out your confidence levels and make you smile - which is the most important thing.


I'm sure they have financial arrangment for you as well so no need to worry if you don't have the money.


Check out some cosmetic surgery sites or even submit your name into the 10 years younger programme (this might get you a free makeover!)!
Reply:The only certain way to keep you r"choppers" is by seeing a dentist. Don't be afraid and just do it! They can help you =)
Reply:I am 24, and I have crowded teeth bottoms and up so I am having braces! :0(


it will be for 18 month, and I will have to pay about £200/month


I am very scared and it's a lot of money coming out of my wages, but it will sort out my confidence and I know I will be happier so I think it's money well spend.








Anyway you sound like you need a new dentist, and brush your teeth twice daily, floss and use inter dental brush and mouthwash everyday.





Good luck.
Reply:It's always the smartest way to consult a dentist's advice. He knows better for your good. If your first dentist did not gave you the better advice, look for another who will give you best. Don't do anything to your tooth or gum problem without any prescription or assistance from your dentist.
