Dental - June 2006

I had a maryland bridge put in and the dentist made me a retainer and charged me $500.00 for it. I had 1 cm space between my teeth he wanted closed. I told him the retainer was not working so after 2 days he used a little piece of wire and put it on my teeth and it closed the space. He took it off before the bridge was put in. I just don't think I should have to pay for the retainer if if didn't work! What do you think?

I am 28 years old and have had problems with TMJ for about five years now. I also suffer from fibromyalgia. My tmj has improved but I still have problems. My dentists has agreed to specially allow me to pay only 300 down and 150.00 a month until I've paid about 3800.00. My husband isn't crazy about the idea. Then there is the pain associated with the braces to consider. Not to mention the money.

A filling fell out of one of my back teeth earlier today when I was eating lunch. It's left a HUGE hole in the tooth and it's pretty sore. How quickly do I have to get it fixed? Because the dentist I was with struck us off the list for missing an appointment, and I can't find any more NHS dentists and can't afford to go private. And that stuff you can buy in Boots, the temporary filling stuff - does it work? And how long does it last for?

Are teeth not important to them? I know that most people there have money for proper dental care. I've seen Brits with bad teeth time and time again. But like i said, STEREOTYPICALLY. I know not all of them have bad teeth!

My top dentured seem like to teeth are huge, and make my lips bulge out, my lips barely even close all the way, and I cant stick out my tongue. Is this normal and if not what can I do to fix these problems?

I just had a filling of four different cavities (all in the back with the molars on the surface, I often forget about brushing there). One of them recently came back, (lower right molar). It's vein shaped and brown colored along the top biting surface. It's deep compared with my other healthy teeth and it doesn't hurt, but i'm afraid it'll get worse. Do I have to get another filling? How can I prevent more cavities? My oral hygiene is ok, not great. About two brushes a day but I don't eat much sweets.

My specialist up until now has fitted me with a lower jaw appliance. Since then, however, he's told me to take a load of vitamins every day, and at the last visit gave me a 'relaxation and meditation' CD that, among other things, asks me to visualize waterfalls and clouds (?!?). The more things progress, the more we seem to veer away from 'medicine' and towards alternative healthcare mumbo jumbo. I'm feeling a bit deceived, but this dentist is insisting this will help. All the while, I keep writing very, very large cheques. Am I being unreasonable? Are there real treatments I'm missing out on? What should I ask or, or insist on, at my next visit? Many thanks!!
