Default Dental Pain - HELP!

Hi all, another health medical question I'm affraid. I'm in need of some more advice regarding health problems, dental related.

Some of you may already know that I have had a lot of dental problems over the years, have suffered ever since I was 13 years of age. My problem stems from a young age, a young lad with big overcrowded teeth. This lead to lots of fillings and then root canals at an early age, which then lead to extractions. Thankfully all those fillings and root canals are now gone, so my remaining teeth are filling and RC free.

My problem now is, I'm forever clashing my teeth together and experiencing immense pain which lasts for weeks, months. I only have to jolt my body in some way, either while doing DIY, gardening, or even working on the cars, the slightest jolt and my teeth clash together which leaves me in pain. Even eating is a problem, biting down hard will also leave me in pain, its never ending.

I already wear an upper and lower partial denture, I found it easy to wear dentures, far better than my real teeth. You wouldn't even know I wear partial dentures, its amazing what they can do nowadays, they blend into my real teeth perfectly.

My real teeth look healthy, big and white, but they keep causing me pain. I am back and forth to the dentist, and each time I get told they don't see anything wrong, they say I have sprained the tooth or teeth and to wait.

I am now at the stage where I just want rid of my reaming teeth and opt for a full set of dentures, I am sick and fed up with my teeth constantly clashing and causing me pain, I live in fear every god dam day.

I bumped my head 9 weeks ago on a cupboard while moving my daughter into her new UNI dig, my teeth clashed together and I have been in pain ever since. A few days before I was eating potato wedges of all things, I bit down on hard potato skin and my teeth have hurt like hell ever since.

I was thinking of going to see a private dentist and asking for the rest of my reamaing teeth to be removed and opt for full dentures. My current NHS dentist doesn't want to know, so I've got to look for a new dentist now anyway.

Does anyone have a family member who is a good dentist they can put me in touch with?

Sorry for the long post, but this pain is really getting me down.
