Q. When I was 15 I was told I would lose all my teeth at the age of 21. I am now 49, and my teeth are a complete mess in some areas. I cannot afford the dentist as finacially I’m broke. Help!!!

A. Thanks for your questions, I would suggest that you attend an NHS dental practice for an examination, to establish exactly what would need to be done. With the help of your dentist you should be able to decide the best course to take to get you back on the road to good oral health. The benefits of an NHS dentist is that the fees are set, and in some cases you may even be entitled to free care. The first steps will be the hardest but I am sure you will not regret it. I wish you well.
Kindest regards
