I have recently lost my job and can’t afford to pay for my dental care, what are my options?

Q.
Hey Dr Andrew.

Ever since i can remember, I’ve had bad teeth. I started smoking quite young and have been for around ten years now. I’m 22 and my teeth are starting to fall apart. I’m so ashamed of my teeth that i haven’t been to a dentist. They are cracking and two of my upper front teeth are starting to blacken in one corner. I wondered what options are open to me? I recently lost my job so i am currently on benefits while i can find work, my teeth hurt when i brush them, when i eat and when breathing during cold weather, i also suffer from bad breath (which is extremely embarrassing). Can you advise me on funds? Please help!

Thanks for your time!

Hello, thanks for the information and questions. I would advise that the first thing you should do is to find a local dentist recommended by a friend and see what they can do for you. I hope this helps, regards.
