Our Vision for the Future
As Dental Country continues to grow, we remain deeply committed to expanding our platform in ways that meet the changing needs of our audience. Dentistry is a dynamic field, with new technologies, techniques, and products emerging every year. We believe in staying at the forefront of these changes, ensuring that our content not only keeps up but also leads the way in educating our readers.
In the near future, we plan to introduce even more innovative tools and resources for both dental professionals and patients. One of our most exciting upcoming projects is the launch of interactive features designed to improve the user experience. This includes personalized content suggestions based on individual preferences, allowing dental professionals to access the most relevant practice management tips and product reviews for their specific needs. Patients will also benefit from personalized recommendations on oral hygiene products, helping them find the best solutions for their unique dental health requirements.
In addition to content personalization, we are working to develop a community platform where dental professionals can connect, share insights, and collaborate on best practices. This network will allow for peer-to-peer learning and foster a community of shared knowledge and support, helping professionals stay updated on the latest industry trends and innovations. We envision this space as a hub for dental experts to exchange ideas and help each other succeed in a competitive and rapidly evolving field.
For patients, we are expanding our content library to include more multimedia resources like videos, infographics, and interactive guides. These resources will cover everything from understanding dental procedures to improving daily oral hygiene habits. By offering a more visual and interactive learning experience, we aim to make dental care more approachable and less intimidating for the general public.
Our long-term vision is to become the most comprehensive online platform for dental education. We aim to be the first place both dental professionals and patients turn to for trusted, up-to-date information. To support this, we are exploring partnerships with leading dental schools, healthcare organizations, and technology companies that will allow us to provide cutting-edge educational tools, research, and data-driven insights.
As we look to the future, we remain grounded in our core values: a commitment to quality, a focus on empowering our readers, and a passion for transforming the way dental information is delivered. The future of Dental Country is bright, and we look forward to continuing to serve the dental community and the public for many years to come.

I personally wouldn’t rush removing any teeth without a second opinion. Are you in any pain?
Monta S. two teeth in a lot of pain, one being a wisdom tooth and another where the tooth broke off but nothing else. I certainly didn’t think ‘all’ my teeth were compromised
First comes fillings, then crowns, then root canals and last extractions. From just looking at the picture your teeth look great. I would seek another opinion if I were you. The last thing you want to do is replace your teeth, yet if and when the time comes, G4 implants are your best bet!!
Lynnda R. I’ll research these G4 implants , thank you. I accept that two of my back teeth are probably beyond help and I can see a small dark spot at gum level under a crown, but it came as a huge shock to be told I was in such a mess. It’s not even a money making exercise as I’m not a private patient, I get tax credits to top up my modest earnings but the dentist was quite rude to point out that I wouldn’t be able to afford implants so removable dentures were pretty much my only option 😥
I’ll seek a second opinion but dentists seem so difficult to find where I live unless I can afford private ☹️ (in UK, dental treatment is low cost or free for those on low income as it’s paid for in our taxes like our health care.. the low cost treatment is enough to ‘fix’ teeth but they aren’t interested in the cosmetic side) .
Sal B. I’m sorry to hear this. Good dentist are hard to come by. I have had plenty of dentist who said they could not fix my tooth that broke in half and I would have to get a root canal or pulled. In the long run they did fix it with a filling. Don’t let them push you around. Let the one dentist know you will be seeking a second opinion and see what he says. Both need to remember, they work for us not the other way around. If interested you can check out my videos about my journey here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPZlFtTvAs4
Lynnda R. Thank you so much
Would it be worth a second opinion appointment with another Dentist? Your teeth look quite nice and you need to be assured that the gravity of the work needed is actually needed x
Second opinion
Dude is trying to make a SALE.
Thaddeus B. I thought this but in the UK, basic dentistry is free or low cost (silver fillings, check ups etc) as we pay in our taxes … They don’t care much about the cosmetic result though which is why people go private for white fillings, crowns etc. I’m starting to wonder if he somehow gets extra from somewhere as a bonus for extractions though as it seems so drastic
Secon and even third opinion. Wowser
I would definitely see another dentist.
It’s devastating but you’re not alone!
Always get second even third don’t tell other dentists everything first one told you. Especially, in same area they cover for each other!!
I’m in the UK and mine were what your dentist said. I had filling all over and missing teeth too. I have implants being placed and have bottom and top veneers. Please get a second opinion away from your own dentist. If they were rotten like your dentist has said I’m sure they would be discoloured, mine were a lot worse than yours and I’m having veneers on top 6 and bottom 7.
Peta S. thank you, that sounds hopeful. I know I’ll have to go private for the treatment but debt is preferable to a saggy face and toothless gums at my age. 😬 My teeth are actually pretty white with little discoloration. But I obviously can’t see in between them where he says the decay is forming ☹️ . I’ll definitely go for another opinion.
Sal B. I’ve had exactly the same, mine did hurt and were a bit wobbly. Today I have had two bottoms ones out and have another two that also need extracting. Mine are extremely clean but decayed beyond repair, I think there might have been hope if covid hadn’t have closed the dental surgeries, however they are beyond saving and I’ve seen the xrays. I don’t know what to do next presume I’ll have implants when we get abroad. All the best to you x
Kim W. wishing you lots of luck too.. sadly it doesn’t look like we will get abroad anytime soon due to the crazy restrictions they’ve put on travel to the countries we would choose for decent cosmetic dentistry 😢
I’m just accepting that I’ll have a massive debt that I’ll probably carry forever 😥
He’s bs you. Mine were decayed. I had a bad smell and taste
Annette M. apart from the wisdom tooth which plainly needs to come out, I don’t have any bad breath or altered taste etc so I think you are right .
Sal B. Yes, I had 4 pulled Didn’t know until I got a pus pocket. Then when pulled crown saw all 4 were very decayed no way to save . Very Foul breath.
Annette M. I hope you recovered well and managed to achieve a good result cosmetically afterwards
Sal B. Thank you missing 6 front teeth he had to take 2 crowns to hold temporary been like this since August. Don’t even know where to start for implant Bridge. Dentist are rip off’s. The first Question they ask do you have good credit. This time I’m going to say no they take you for a ride if you do. Hope you find a good dentist your smile looks great!!
Annette M. thanks for the tip! I’ll say I have poor credit 🙈
Second opinion
Please look for second opinion
Don’t blame yourself decay is bound to happen under fillings and crowns. Tell him to show you the X-rays of the decay. You might get a second opinion but don’t say a thing – just let him talk.
Doctors love to remove teeth or good teeth and recommend implants and other options to collect money now days! Always know that your natural teeth are much better then any implants until it’s necessary to remove it. He said you have decay. Well that can be cleaned even severe infection where they can’t reach can be treated with laser ! The most important thing to worry about here is your bone density situation ! Look into it. If you ask me that dentist is a salesman
Serg L. I’m really fit and healthy so hopefully my bones etc are good too. I can’t see the ‘decay’ he mentions but he insists it’s there. I’ll definitely get another opinion.
I would be getting a second maybe third opinion before I would do that hun.
I’d get a second opinion
Get more opinions! My dentist said the same thing, wanted to pull 12 teeth. I’ve been to 2 others who both said there’s only one tooth they would consider removing if I didn’t want to root canal and crown. In the end I had 5 fillings redone, 2 new and 2 root canals. 1 crown to come later. They’ve shown me and talked through my X-rays, I have excellent bone and gums, tooth structure is fine, roots are great, just had some old failed fillings that needed redoing.
Cydelle B. thank you so much, this makes me feel better. I do have one badly broken wisdom tooth that causes agony on and off but they told me it will be months for a referral to get it removed. That’s the only tooth that obviously can’t be saved. I appreciate your comment 😊
Go for a 2nd opinion, people’s mouth are considered the dentists “bank” and dentists are not trustworthy these days.
They look good. If they don’t hurt, I wouldn’t do it.
Second opinion!!!
I cannot express enough the need for ‘several’ opinions and dont be the least bit surprised if they’re all different! Be sure to understand ‘Galvanism’ if you intend to have any work done.

Deanne M. thanks so much for this, it’s exactly what I needed. I’ve been detoxing heavy metals (amongst other things) for years and I believe that’s why I finally have my thyroid issues under control (although getting these nasty amalgams out would be a huge bonus!) I hope I’ve read the article correctly in that titanium implants alone would be fine, as long as all the other metal in my mouth is removed first (which would be the case). I can concentrate on composite or glass polymer for any work in the front of it’s deemed necessary so hopefully this may turn out ok despite the expense. I’m obviously upset about the prospect of having so many teeth out, however if I look in the bright side, I’d prefer titanium implants to back teeth full of mercury which is what I have now. Really appreciate it!
Sal B. I do my best to try to ‘educate & empower’ patients through awareness to become more informed dental consumers. I hope you find your visit, informative and worthwhile. 🙂 Best of Luck to you!
Go to another dentist for another opinion.
Find you a prosthodontist. They are about saving your teeth.
Hope you can show your xrqy too.
Always get a second opinion, even a third…before you do anything. A lot of places offer free consultations. Good luck to you!!
Also, a good Dentist will do everything they can to save any and all your teeth before pulling them.
This is so true what Shannon F. said. When I saw my dentist here in town I was asking about dentures and implants. After x-rays and CT scan he advised me to leave my teeth in and get them fixed. Even though he would of made more money by giving me implants he strongly advise me to save my teeth. This proved to me that he was a great dentist.
