Should i have the work done and how much would it cost?

April 1, 2011 by 2 Comments

Question by nurburg: Should i have the work done and how much would it cost?
I am 24. I have had 8 fillings in my life, i went to the dentist last week and i need another 7 fillings and i am going to lose one of my front teeth and need root canal on it. The fillings that i did have previous, some are loose and have holes in again. I am in pain all the time and haven’t been able to chew on one side for years. I have very good oral hygene the dentist said but i used to drink alot of fruit juice which im told has contributed to the problem. My teeth have been like this all my life. I also have unusually large nerves in my teeth too which is why they often hurt. They are making me so unhappy. I feel it is useless to try and keep repairing them all the time and it doesn’t help that i have a very big phobia of the dentist.

I am wondering if there is something available which will do the following: I want all my teeth taken out including the nerves in my gums. I want some sort of permanent false teeth put in. a bit like dentures but they are screwed in somehow and never can be removed. I have thought seriously about this. How much would it cost to have this done.? the money is irrelevant really i will pay whatever it takes. is this available?
Thanks

There is nothing like your own teeth. I would have the cavities filled, the root canal done and do whatever you can to maintain your own teeth. You are only 24 and have many years to go if you get dentures now. Dentures are usually done as a last resort. And any good dentist will tell you that.
I also had a severe phobia of the dentist, I hadn’t gone in 20 years! I have found a painless dentist who knows he’s dealing with a coward, and who has a wonderful staff. Now, it’s not my favorite place to be, but I truly don’t mind going any more. After the first heavy duty cleaning – they had to do it in four parts – I now go every 4 months – I don’t wait for the 6 months as recommended. I figure every 4 months, means less cleaning each time I’m in the chair.
Try to find a dentist you’re happy with, there is no reason for you to be in any pain.

I say you should definitely see your gyno after the 6th week.
Other than that, it can come later if you are doing a lot of exercise.

Should upper denture roof plate be flush with the roof of my mouth?

March 30, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Question by Windmaker: Should upper denture roof plate be flush with the roof of my mouth?
I just today received a partial upper denture….a first for me (four successive teeth on one side, and three intermittent teeth on the other side). While it seems snug so far, my concern is about the fact that the metal plate that is in the roof of my mouth is not making contact with the flesh. I immediately mentioned this to the dentist, but he didn’t seem to be giving me a straight answer about this matter. This “roof” section of the denture covers approximately a third of the roof (when you consider that the back edge has somewhat of a horse shoe shape with the outside portions go farther back than the center portion), and no matter how hard I bite down, most of the plate does not touch, or is not flush, with the roof of my mouth. It feels like I could easily insert a paper clip underneath it, and I’ve already learned that it traps food each time I eat. I can certainly feel (with my tongue) the entire (somewhat sharp) back edge of this plate is protruding from one side of my mouth to the other.

Is there someone with denture knowledge who could comment on whether this protrusion of the roof plate away from the roof of my mouth is a proper fit?….or are they customarily designed to be flush against the roof?. The imprint on the metal certainly appears to be that of the surface of my roof when the mold was taken, so I find it hard to believe it’s supposed to be suspended as far as it is away from being flush and in contact with the roof of my mouth.

I would appreciate hearing any comments from those of you who feel qualified and informed about this matter (before I return to the dentist for another adjustment…he said probably in a week or so it’ll need some tightening again), Thus far I have not been successful in locating any information about this specific issue on the Internet…but I will keep trying.

Best answer:

Answer by Robert
Yes, the metal palate portion of your partial should be in contact with the soft tissue of your palate. There is even a little bead line or ridge scribed on the model before casting to ensure this seals off to prevent a food trap. If you will look at the inside of your metal partial you will see the slight raised bead running the entire length of the edge. This raised edge should be in intimate contact with soft tissue.

This is caused by a distorted impression or a distorted casting. The only proper solution is to reimpress and recast. If you will go back the dentist and tell them you gave it a week or so to see if the soft tissue would seal off with the edge of the partial and it still has not. Tell them you are having to clean trapped food from underneath and they will know what the problem is. How they want to handle the problem will be telling. If they want to place a “reline” material inside the partial to fill in the space you will have continued maintenance on that area for the life of the partial due to leakage at the edges and delamination of the material over timel. Make them promise in writing they will correct any future leakage or other problems at no charge for the life of the partial. A new impression and casting is the correct way to approach this problem.

how should i deal with my male inadequecies?

March 27, 2011 by 6 Comments

Question by ϟ Khamûl the blackrider ϟ Shadows of mordor ϟ: how should i deal with my male inadequecies?
im 33 and have been insecure about this for some time , i actually mentioned these things in a question recently and someone suggested i should get cosmetic surgery .

what it is is that ; my penis when erect is just a little under 6 inches , and sometimes just about 6inches exactly ?

plus , the head of my penis is not big , broad and round you know like a big mushroom? ive seen pictures of males penis and most guys have that big mushroom head .

and i dont have this , and i always thought that this was important.

i was never circumcised as far as im aware , but my foreskin doesn’t completely cover the end of my penis, a bit of my penis head peaks through ?

because of these things ive always felt ” inadequate ” in the male department . – is anyone else similar or just has positive words to say ?

thanks

there is nothing wrong with you, a lot of men are the same as this, its no big deal, quit comparing yourself to other men, women don’t usually size up each others boobs you know, learn to like yourself and stop getting bogged down with crap like this

Hormone Replacement Therapy – How long should a non- hysterectomised person be on it?

March 26, 2011 by 4 Comments

Question by Caoimhin: Hormone Replacement Therapy – How long should a non- hysterectomised person be on it?
I am currently investigating non detection of a serous uterine carcinoma which caused the death of a relative of mine at the age of 64 despite all of the symtoms being present.

My relative has been on HRT since April 1991 until July 2008. What are the side effects and could this therapy have been a contributory cause to the development of uterine polyps/fibroids turning cancerous.

An answer from a Pharmacist, Gynaecologist, GP or any person experienced in the field would be greatly appreciated
Wrong year – until July 2007

Answer by jackmatt
Actual time is not known, but she should talk with her Dr about weaning & maybe trying some of the OTC herbal estrogen supplements. Dr should follow pt closely, pt should not do this w/o Dr’s approval.

should transgender people get their treatment free on the nhs?

March 25, 2011 by 10 Comments

Question by snowstorm: should transgender people get their treatment free on the nhs?
i ask this for peoples opinions. I know someone who has just had their sex change operation – on the nhs in a private hospital. They get psychotherapists and psychaitrist appointments regularly and they now want their breasts increased from a b cup to a c cup on the nhs.(as this will help them psychologically). Do u think this is fair when people who have breast cancer have to wait for reconstructive surgery on the nhs? and people with mental illness which is life threatening have to wait on waiting lists and still dont get psychiatric treatment? Should they have to pay privately for all the cosmetic surgery they dream of? I mean it would help me psychologically to have cosmetic surgery but i wouldnt get it or dare ask for it on the nhs. What do you think?x

Answer by Amelia Love
No. I cannot get braces on the NHS because my case is apparently to minor. If I have to pay for braces, they should have to pay for transgender operations.

The EU should pass a healthy eating bill; forcing EU countries to outlaw unhealthy foods and putting the entire EU population on a governemt approved diet. This will cut down on heart disease and other illnesses brought on by food.

Should I be bleeding this much!?

March 20, 2011 by 2 Comments

Question by Hanz-89: Should I be bleeding this much!?
Im 19 I was diagnosed with pcos about 2-3 yeas ago now and have tried all different types of tablets but none of them worked so my gynaecologist has now decided they will only put me on tablets once I want to become pregnant. So over the last few months I have been loads I will bleed for about 2 weeks and then stop for a week or so and then will start bleeding just as much again. I have had a scan on my stomach but the dr has said they cant see anything obvious on the scan. Im just fed up with the bleeding its getting me down and it is worrying me. Any advice will be gratefully appreciated xx

Best answer:

Answer by Deborah L
If you are not getting any joy with your current GP and Gynaecologist then perhaps go to a different one. You could always call an ambulance on a particularly bad day and be admitted to hospital – they HAVE to do as many tests as possible to find out what the problem is. It could be a thing called endometriosis. Google it to find out more.
