Q. Hi,im a 20 year old student, and as far as im aware i get free dental care. my problem is that i used to suffer from bulimia and its damaged my teeth quite significantly. im very self conscience of my teath and i really don’t want to go back to the state of mind i was in when i was suffering from bulimia. is it posible to get dental veneers on the nhs? i would greatly appreciate tour advice.

A. You need to check whether you are definitley exempt from dental charges and see your dentist to ask whether he will provide the veneers on the NHS as strictly speaking they are a cosmetic treatment so might not be available to you.
