Can I Get Help with Payment for Braces if I’m on Jobseeker’s Allowance?

Thursday, May 7th, 2015
Q.

Can I get braces for free if I am on Jobseeker’s Allowance?

I asked my dentist for braces when I was 13 years old. I waited over a year for an appointment to get braces. When I went to attend my appointment, I was told that my appointment was made earlier and a letter was sent to my house. By this time I had moved house so I was not aware of the appointment change. Later I visited my dental surgery and it showed on the computer that my treatment had been done. Later I explained to my dentist and he gave me another appointment but I was told to get my braces done later at the dental hospital. Now I am 20 and receiving Jobseeker’s Allowance.

I have spoken to my dentist and was informed that I have to pay over £4000 to get braces and implants in place of extracted teeth.

Is there any way I can get it for free or get help with the cost as I am not working and it would take me years to save £4000?  Thank you for your time.

My New Braces Have Made My Teeth Very Sensitive, Should I Go To My Dentist?

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013
Q.

hello dr, to give you some context, i have had the 6 month smile braces fitted . I am now into my 7th week and i have really sensitive and shooting pains in one of my teeth especially at the lower side.when i drink hot or cold drinks it really sends a shooting pain which is pretty awful to be honest with you. It’s really sharp and disturbs me especially during social occasions like meals, drinks out with friends etc. I’d like to know is this just the teeth moving or is something hitting the nerve. It’s not sore all the time also when i touch the tooth it feels like its slack and has movement.
