Should I stay for new teeth?
Ok, this is my situation and I'd appreciate some more opinions about what I should do.
I'm 25 and I was born with a genetic condition that means I didn't develop lower adult teeth. I still have baby teeth now and they're not visible when I speak so have never been a problem but...they will eventually fall out.
I have the chance to get permanent new implanted teeth on the NHS however as my jaw is small I would first need a bone graft at the front of my jaw then some chiseled away at the back. I'm a bit scared about how I might end up!
Also, because it's the nhs I won't even get an assessment until October (at which point they could say I'm not a suitable candidate) and then I'll have more waiting and could be lucky to get it done by the time I'm 30.
The other problem is that I'm unemployed and have been trying really hard to find work for a couple of months. With the UK economy like this my chances don't seem to be getting better.
Then today I got an e-mail from a company I used to work for in Japan saying they're recruiting again and did I want to reapply. I think I have a good chance of getting the job and don't want to miss the opportunity (I love the job and the place) but if I go I won't get the implants.
So, should I stay here desperately job-hunting and try to get the implants or go to Japan and just get a denture when my teeth fall out?

i think that you should wait on the implants and re-apply for the job. the economy is terrible and I, personally, would rather have the chance for a job than have a chance for implants. plus if you get the job you could put aside a little bit of money each time you get paid to be put towards the cost of implants.
hope this helps! good luck with your decision! =)

It is dependent upon the sort of filling used and your oral hygiene. Silver fillings final longer than white fillings - a few men and women have them for a long time (my oldest one is two decades historical). White fillings are product of composite, that's a plastic-y fabric and is extra susceptible to breakdown than the steel in silver ones. They're popping out with new composite fabric always, so it is nonetheless lovely powerful. As a ways as oral hygiene is going, in case you have particularly well hygiene (brushing 2x everyday, flossing 1x everyday and maintain up in your dental tests each and every six months) then the ones fillings would keep in there indefinitely. If you do not need well oral hygiene or consume/drink plenty of sugar then you are extra susceptible to getting cavities across the fillings after which they'll ought to get replaced. Once your enamel are totally in, they give up developing, so you do not ought to fear approximately it falling out from developing. If it falls out for some thing intent, cross in your dentist. They can exchange it. If the filling was once located competently and does not get decay round it, then it would keep in that enamel without end.
