Hi to everybody!

This is a kind of last-minute appeal from a 19-year old Swiss student. On
Monday, I am going to see a member of a profession that I have learnt to hate
over the last two years. You guess it, a dentist!

I am sorry for my poor English, I hope I can explain the situation clearly.

As I have already said, my age is 19, and yet my teeth look very bad, not to
say almost terrible, and this - to the greatest part - not because of me but
because of - yes - a dentist. Anyone who is interessed in the details, can get
them.
For the time being, I am looking to the future, not the past, because I want to
avoid getting ANY artificial teeth before I am 75!
Due to several mistakes made by two dentists, my teeth were not sufficiently
repaired and, most important, my set of teeth just didn't fit anymore. I mean,
the top part didn't fit on the bottom part. I think this was because the upper
part of my teeth was cut too much during the "repair", so there was far too
much pressure on my FRONT teeth. The bottom of my front teeth always put
pressure on the top part when I was eating etc. This is no problem, according
to the 3rd dentist. But now, my two top front teeth are lose, and I have
exactly the same feeling I had about 12 years ago.. At this moment, I cannot put
ANY pressure on them.
So, on Monday, I am going to the 4th dentist. Maybe you can understand why I am
a bit sceptical. What do you think is the best way to cure this? Can these two
teeth be connected with the ones next to them?

Another question: What is the best material to fill tooth holes today? What
about porcelain (when and how is it used)?

Thank you very much. (I am very sorry for my English!)

-Marcel
