I am very sorry to hear how unhappy you are with your smile. I completely understand your need to restore your smile for your self-confidence and self-esteem.
A lot depends on how badly damaged your teeth are as to what type of treatment you need. Some of this treatment may be possible within the NHS system but it can be extremely difficult to find a dentist to carry out the necessary treatment due to the government policy at the moment. A possible source of help might be your local health authority and your local MP.
Your treatment could be carried out by a private dentist- aesthetic and health treatments being available. Many private practices have finance available for you to spread the cost over a number of years. Within my practice we find these financial schemes help many of our patient proceed with treatment which otherwise they would not be able to afford.
Hope this helps.
Regards

hi.

i have a simular problem, but im 18, when i was younger i always ate badly and hardly ever brushed my teeth, now my front teeth are decaying, and rotting quite fast! i feel so depressed and even with a payment scheme for cosmetic dentistry, is it 100% that you will get accepted for this? don’t it depend on how much credit you have already?

I am not really happy I really hate my teeth. I did tell my denist but nothing was done. I needed braces but they said I didnt need them. But I have just turned 22 on Tuesday when I was young I could of had it for 3. I just wish there was something I could do. It will cost me so much money I know aswell now. If there is anything you could do or tell me about someone that could help me. I live near greenwich. Thank you very much.
