Can my dentist do this to me????

Question

I have a calcium deficiency, have no teeth at the back of my mouth, top and bottom, my dentist made me false teeth which i really tried to get used to, the bottom ones fall out if i bend down, and the top ones i cant talk with them in, But most importantly i cant eat with them, everything gets stuck underneath them. I went back and explained all this he told me just to put them in when getting my photo taken. IT IS NOT ABOUT VANITY. i need them to eat as at the moment i have to eat like a rabbit and chew everything at the front of my mouth , as thats where my only teeth are. I am a carer to my son as he is disabled so i am on benifits i dont exspect gold plated, but just ones that work. My own teeth are getting so worn down, its depressing, dont know what my rights are MONEY TALKS EH|!!!!!!

Answer 1

you poor thing.... This man can not call himself a dentist.... The most important thing a dentist must do is ensure that you are not in any discomfort and are able to eat properly, after you have had your dentures fitted. It sounds like you need a realign done on the bottom, as for the top maybe you have to much acrylic on them ask if the dentist can streamline them for you a bit.. Try to find another dentist to do this for you.

I hope you get them sorted....take care and i hope you and your son have a very merry christmas. x

Answer 2

First I would try to find some dental adheasive and see if that helps at all. If not then maybe try to save up some money to have some artificial teeth implants. Talk to your dentist and see if there is any way he could provide a retainer for you to place over your real teeth and the dentures to see if that will hold the dentures in place if nothing else. And if you want, get a second opinion, maybe your dentures are just loose fitting.

Answer 3

I dare say you were given bottom of the range no frills false teeth as you're on benefits and they would have been free.

Couldn't you get some implants or bridgework done on the NHS as you have a medical condition? Then you wouldn't need false choppers. Approach your doctor, lay it on thick and say your teeth issues are undermining your mental health, confidence and ability to cope with your life problems. The NHS dole out ear pinning and breast reductions willynilly. Worth trying to see if they'd run to essential dental work.

Answer 4

there r cases when your false teeth may not sit properly but in case ur bone support is fine enough u ought to get fine dentures done!!! and i suppose u can see a better consultant.. 4 the time being u can use Fixer or fixodent for its temporary seating.

Answer 5

His attitude stinks,go back and tell him the effect its having on you and ask him to do something, you should be able to speak and eat with a top denture so somethings not right with them if you cant, and thats up to him to fix it

Answer 6

two times a 365 days to do examine-up, if have any doubt about the wellbeing, I only bypass back... this is expensive sometime, although this is properly really worth the checkups and searching after that is sweet too.. you do not opt for to lose your tooth for fake ones, this is not a good feeling (so i have heard).

Answer 7

That doesn't sound right to me. I'd try going to a different dentist. I think I'd also go see my local Citizen's Advice Bureau if I were you; this sounds like very poor treatment.

Answer 8

it takes time to get used too false teeth, i know just had all my top ones out, it is hard to eat, it dose get easier. what you need to do is get some fixative. that rely helps ,they dont fall out and you are able to chew.just persevere you will get used to them.

Answer 9

Juicing machines are good also.

I am sorry I could not help. But fresh, raw juice (not bottled or canned) is the most healthy for you, and much healthier than anything you cook.

Answer 10

That is disgusting - poor you!!! - Can you not go to another, or even ask to be referred to the hospital - could you not have some implants on the nhs??
