Summary
The dentist performs a dental check-up, asking about pain, diet, and oral care. The roof of the mouth looks normal. The dentist reviews an X-ray that shows a large cyst-like shadow which has reduced, and refers the patient to a specialist to monitor it. Discussion covers severely worn teeth, possible treatments including building up the four contact teeth and adding dentures, with NHS band 3 cost of about £332.10 and a 10-week process. The patient is not bothered by appearance, so no immediate decision is made. The dentist cleans the teeth and tells the patient to call within a week if they want to proceed.
