Q. Hello,a few years ago a banged my two front teeth, i had a crown on one and the other seemed fine up until a year ago when it started going black, it is now black helf way down it on my front tooth,which is so distressing for me. i went to see an NHS dentist who said he would not be able to carry out the work, he said the canal in my tooth that is going a black colour is widening therefore the metal rod that would be put inside would not be able to as it may just come out(he advised this after x-ray) he said i may need a bridge. now i cannot afford to pay all of this in one go, but do not have the best credit i have never been bankrupt but do have a ccj that i am paying. please could you advise me if there is a scheme where i can pay bit by bit without finance or if i could get finance from somewhere as i am advised i will loose the tooth very soon. i am based in manchester
