Re: Teeth
Mollie darlin' - not true that there's no NHS dental treatment - I visited my own dentist only yesterday morning!!! - however it depends on your income and (more importantly) its source!!!Re: Teeth
Poor you Mollie Surely, if you have an untreatable gum disease this falls under the category of having new teeth? It's not because of cosmetic reasons!Re: Teeth
I agree with what has been said above, Mollie - have a word with your dentist, tell him what you have told us, then see if he can come up with either free treatment or treatment that's not going to cost the earth.Re: Teeth
Mollie, you go to work don't you? So maybe not any free treatment? If you can find a NHS dentist accepting new patients (phone the NHS dental helpline) you can get treated a lot cheaper than a private one. I cannot remember the exact bands but I think there were three, the first about £40 odd and the third about £200. They cannot charge you any more than the third band. You pay for what you are having done. As long as you attend regular check-ups (6 or 9 months, I can't remember) you can stay with the NHS dentist. Maybe look into NHS dental treatment online and get the proper facts? Good luckRe: Teeth
Thank you all so very much for your replies. My current dentist is an NHS one and I attend every six months paying £16 for each visit. I've been with this particular dentist for about four years or so now, when I first noticed that my teeth were "shifting" although I've had no toothache or anything like that.Re: Teeth
Just to update you on this. I went for my six-monthly check-up today and the dentist and I had a long conversation.
