I am a 32 year old female who has lost her front bridge because of a car crash. I am now on jobseekers and also getting bullied (the police are helping). I started to self harm and I hate myself for starting that. I do not want to seem vain but I am missing 3 teeth in the front. Everyday life is hard to deal with. My wish was to have an family but I no longer want that now as I think who would want someone like me with no teeth? Please help me, I really don’t want to give up on life. I do not know how or where to start. I need any help or info. Many thanks, looking forward to hearing from anyone.

How Can I Get Help With My Missing Teeth?
Friday, March 13th, 2015Can I Apply For Funding To Replace My Lost Implant Bridge?
Monday, April 22nd, 2013Hello Dr, I am in somewhat of an incredulous position.
I have lost my implant bridge.
I had 3 implants 4 teeth fitted in Jan 2012. Looked fantastic.
In the interim i had relocated away from where i had the implants done.
My bridge had become loose in Feb this year and as i hadn’t registered with a local dentist i used some dental fixative cream as an interim measure.
I went to bed one night and in the morning woke to find my bridge gone??
I looked throughout my flat; absolutely everywhere, I checked and rechecked my bedding; i went to hospital and was x-rayed and metal detected, as i thought i may have swallowed them; nothing found.
I have searched and re-searched my flat.
I am currently unemployed and claiming Income Support; i have no funds to replace my bridge.
I have visited an NHS dentist and they recommend i remove the support posts and have a 4 tooth plate. I am finding this hard to accept after paying nearly £10,000 for the implants.
Is there anyway of applying for funds to have this done?
Surely the cost difference for a bridge against removing the posts and fitting a plate is marginal?
I would appreciate any advice you could give me.
Thanks
