I need the dentist to replace a 15 year old amalgam type filling in my mouth and need to decide on a new type. The dentist recommends an expensive porcelain type. Are they better in the long run or do they need replacing often too?
Answer:
Yes get the white ones that dontmleak toxic chem's. in your body like the silver ones do.
gold
I'd get wood fillings but watch out for splinters in your tongue.
Definitely alloy.
Gold alloy will last best over the long haul. Especially if it is a molar filling this has more strength and stabillity.If however your replaced tooth is in front where it could be seen, it may be more important to you that the tooth seems to blend in with your other teeth - which gold definitely will not.

What's the best country to go to for dental treatment as its so dear in the UK/?
somewhere with reasonable costs and high standard of treatment
Answer:
best advice i can give is to go to a dentist in the UK - the problems and pitfalls people suffer abroad have to be seen to be believed. Going to the Europa-Dental Clinic in Budapest was a very painful and expensive experience. My gaurentee was useless and i have more problems than i started with. I went to Kreative originally and that was fine, though i know other people have had problems. My local dentist told me he could have done the work for the same price or cheaper - and i wouldn't have had all the trouble i have had in getting post-surgical problems sorted out. Good lesson learnt though, i will NEVER go abroad for any health care again!!
Well, the USA has great dental care, but by the time you pay for your plane ticket you might as well have it done in the UK.
Romania.
If you go to another country to fix your smile, you'll spend a lot more money traveling back and forth. I'd say: don't go anywhere. Go to the dentist wherever you are right now.
Scotland is not part OF the UK dental treatment, so try there!
Thing is the best treatment available is only available in countries that are a whole lot more expensive then the UK. Trust me on that one.
Iraq , they pull your teeth for nothing.
definately india a cud take u dere or jst give directions, its always cheper to clean ur teeth xx
Poland my friend, seriously
think about the travel costs. if you are going only for dental treatment, i wouldn't advise you to go. but however, there is another great idea. try putting your dental treatment as part of your holiday trip to any country like USA, etc.. that would be sensible. plan a holiday, and have a good dental checkup in between. if this advice doesn't sound pretty good, i would say stay here. though you spend a bit more, you could get everything done here (probably in your next street)
For people looking for cheap dental care they tend to go to the Eastern European counties (e.g. Poland, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, etc). They are pretty cheap, and air fairs to these countries are cheap too. But like others have said, you need to weigh up how much work you need doing, whether the work needs several trips, whether you can afford to take time of work to stay out there to save on air fairs. There is no point going abroad if you only want a couple of veeners say, because what you save at the dentist you will spend on travel and hotel costs. If however, you need lots of work and you can afford to take a lot of time of work, it may be worthwile going abroad. But bear in mind you need to do a lot research before going ahead. Also you need to bear in mind what if something goes wrong? It could prove difficult to complain or to get the work rectified.

Whats the best alternative to tooth loss...?
I have a friend that had beautiful teeth at one time, and down the years, she didn't have the funds to keep up with dental care and now she's lost a good bit of her teeth. Thank God they're all in the back, but now she has 2 teeth that have cavities and are going to have to come out eventually. One is next to the front tooth, and the other is the front tooth. When she speaks, now she has a permanent lisp because this hole is getting bigger and bigger. She is not even 40 yet, and she's dreading them coming out, and she may have to get dentures. Does anyone have any other alternatives to dentures, thats not expensive or is she going to have to opt for dentures...and how do I tell her. No one will know the difference, but she's very attractive and she's afraid of losing her teeth in any event.
Answer:
Depending on her situation, a bridge may be a good option for replacing her front teeth. In order to do a bridge, the teeth on either side of the space would need to be structurally sound enough to support the bridge. To replace the missing back teeth, a removable partial denture would be the most affordable route. It is very important to replace those back teeth, because they are meant to take the brunt of chewing food, and when they're gone, we have to chew with our front teeth, which are really meant more for cutting and tearing the food. This means that the front teeth wear down much faster. There are ways of making partial dentures now that are very natural looking, without all the gaudy wire clasps showing like in years past. I wish your friend the best of luck and hope that she gets the best care possible so that she can stay healthy and beautiful.
if her teeth can still be filled (i.e. they're not so rotten that they're falling apart) then root canal work may save the nerve and hence the tooth. if not, then denture or bridgework may be the only way. once a tooth is too badly damaged by decay it has to come out.
The best cheap alternative to dentures you are going to get is fixing the teeth now and hoping to save them before it gets farther. All options of replacing teeth are very expensive be it bridges, implants, partials, or dentures.

Whats the best alternate medicine to cure swollen gums and face? coz by toothache?
there is no dentist or pharmacy here.
Answer:
As a dentist myself, I highly recommend that you to head to either the nearest dentist or Emergency Room as this sounds like a possible abscess (infected) tooth. You will need to be prescribed antibiotics to rid you of the infection as this is a very serious problem that can have fatal complications if not treated. The infection can spread to the throat causing upper airway obstructions and can spread to the heart and brain causing death. PLEASE find a dentist in the area or head to the ER as this needs to be treated as soon as possible. Best of luck!
Go to your nearest ER.

What's the average range of price to pay for invisalign? what are the other choices for straightening teeth?
Answer:
The Invisalign price varies between $5800 and $7500 but often can be as low as $4000 based upon the difficulty of orthodontic treatment. Most adults require both upper and lower arch orthodontic treatment. These cases are often between $6200 and $6800.to read on.http://www.atlantadentist.com/clear_pric...
Whats the average price for getting a tooth extracted?
Answer:
The price for just a regular extraction is around 100, for a surgical one (where they cut the tooth, etc), around 150.However, if you haven't already seen the dentist, and you just know you have a tooth that you need out, you are going to have to pay for the exam, xrays, etc...which will come out to quite a bit more. It may also vary depending on which tooth it is. If it is a wisdom tooth that has not come in all the way, you can pay upwards of 300 for one tooth.
I don't know about average, but in my office a simple extraction is $95. They just go up after that, i.e. if it turns into a surgical extraction.
overall between $150 and $200.00 bucks
If you go to an oral surgeon the price varies from about 100-200 if it is a regular dentist 60-80 you can find it cheaper just call around if you do not have you own dentist. If there is a dental school around you they may take patients.
50 _ 70 Dollars ( depending where you go )
dependng on its local upto 300 bucks
try a dental college usu offilated with local community hospital/
This varies greatly depending on what state, whether it is a clinic or dentist office,etc. Probably from $65 to $125 unless it is an impacted wisdom tooth which you have to be put to sleep for would be around $250. There are Free Clinic in some towns which have dentists if you can't afford to pay and in some places, mainly cities, there are teaching hospitals that have dental clinics which do dental work at free or reduced rates. Students do the work while teachers oversee everything. It is safe. Maybe you could have your teeth fixed instead of having any pulled. I have a friend who got her teeth and her children's teeth all fixed at a teaching hospital. We thought it was a wonderful blessing for her!! Check into it; maybe it would be for you too.
It depends, the back teeth are different prices than the front teeth! They could range from $50-$100 dollars!
