Hi thank you for letting me join this great group. I’m in a pickle with my dentist. I’m unable to work so cannot afford private dentists. I needed partial top dentures last year. One tooth too right and three the opposite side. My front teeth and furthest molars are still in tact. I was never given option to have clips either side of false teeth but just told I had to have them on a full plate. I’ve had constant trouble it staying in place and sore gums under it. To cut long story shorter since lock down I’ve needed a new crown and now the new metal crown won’t fit or will my denture plate. Q1 can I insist that my four false teeth be clipped to my teeth now, seeing as plate no longer fits and I was never given this option? NHS.org states partial dentures are clipped to teeth. Q2 I have been given a large metal crown without my consent and it does not fit, I have M.E and overly sensitive to chemicals inc metals. Can I ask for plastic crown? I’m shocked my dentist never asked me knowing I have M.E. Just because I cannot afford private fees I feel I’m being treated quite poorly. I attached pic of plate below. I’m interested to hear your views if anyone else has a plate like this. Do I have choices? Thank you for reading.
