Hate my teeth

MOnica I had my top front ones done last year, composite bonding, it worked well, I’m having something similar done to my bottom front 4/5min May. I’m very happy with the top.

I lose my nerve every now and then going to the dentist. I think it's bad experiences as a child I did find a decent dentist before lockdown. My teeth have not been looked at over two years now. They are ruined because I ate so much citrus fruit. Trying to get my cholesterol down it didn't work. I know the enamel is weak now. I keep trying to pluck the courage up to make an appointment but don't. It's ridiculous I know sixty five and scared I think I will have make an appointment soon.

3 years ago my friend had implants and veneers done in Turkey. Amazing results.
I can’t remember if it was 5 or £7,000.
That price included flights, hotel and a 3 month check up in London. She was there for 5 days.

I had the brown teeth pronlem you mention Ellie Anne, my, then 5 year old DGS asked me why my teeth were so brown. My dentist suggested I had 'composite' put on my teeth and that has worked very well.

I have tried to find out exactly what I had done online but all I can find is information about composite veneers, which are very expensive and I certainly didn't have that treatment.

The dentist just spread or painted a substance on my teeth that hid the brownness where the natural dentine had worn away, a bit like nail polish, I think!. It was done about 5 years ago and has worked very well. I cannot remember how much it was, but more likely £100 or so for 4-5 teeth, not the £500 plus quoted for each veneer.

If you have a private dentist I would ask them about it. Possible get the exact name for the treatment I had and google it.

Often it’s only at the back where bone grafts are needed. You could always have a consultation to see what needs doing. A friend of mine is going to Hungary to have hers done- 1/3 of the price here.

Oh I know how you feel! I think on those "Ten years younger" programmes that the biggest change is always the teeth. I'd love to be able to afford to have mine done (though not a la Katie Price!) I believe it's a lot cheaper to go to Poland. Anyone done that?
