My Overall Dental Health Is Poor And I Would Like To Know If I Can Get Free NHS Treatment?

Q.
hello im 18 and i’ve had trouble with my teeth for 12 years now i’ve had many teeth taken out when i was young now my teeth are turning, i have a gap in the middle of my two top teeth and and holes in my molars that have been fillled in many times. Despite this though it all just sinks back in the teeth and consequently i have developed a lisp and get major headaches as my jaw is out of place by half a centimeter. It’s all quite distressing and I need to get it sorted out because it’s destroying my confidence and I can’t stand having pain and awkwardness all of the time. Basically I was wondering whether you know if I could get dentures free from the NHS?
A.
Hello, thanks for your query. It does sound as though you’re suffering somewhat with your dental health. The fact you have developed a lisp is not great and must be understandably difficult to deal with with. In response to your question, if you are under eighteen and in full time education then yes, you can definitely get treatment on the NHS. It would be worthwhile discussing your options with a practitioner though before you head down the dentures route.
