    Depends where it is in your mouth. There are nerves and vessels under the molars in your lower jaw. In the upper jaw there is a risk a bad practitioner could drill into one of your sinuses.

      Been thinking about it but not got round to it. Seems a very high price you've been quoted. I could get it done for just over £1k in Brighton. Friend of mine had some done for about £500 each in Luton.

            Try Lublin, Poland. They have a School of Dentistry (part of the medical university of Lublin) there. Direct flights to/from Luton and Stansted. Cost ~£800

              You have to make sure that will be done by an implant specialist. The price also varies with the quality of the crown.

                Oh and if your teeth aren't straight using mini brushes to get into those crannies.
                You need to let the blood out from time to time. Plaque will otherwise just seep under the gums and cause gum disease. Notwithstanding disease your teeth will stick out in all directions in later life. Floss now and again but not every day, causes discomfort if you floss to often.

                  The research as I remembered it found that the vast majority of people flossed so badly they were either doing nothing or doing more harm to their teeth then good.
