my teeth are loose as i have lost bone

Q. I had a consultion with my dentist today who is referring me to you, I have lost the bone structure on to of my bottom teeth which is making them lose. I am very nervous patient and my dentist has said he hasn’t every seen this amount of lack bone structure. Do you think you will be able to do anything. Also I am working & pay NHS, can I claim anything on NHS. THANKS

A. I am a private dentist and you will not be able to claim any treatment on the NHS within my practice.  The lack of bone is a concern and I would need to see you to assess your situation properly before I can decide how I can help you. I look forward to meeting you.
