Q. I have a friend who has extremely loose, crooked teeth. So loose and crooked that it is now affecting her ability to eat properly. She was referred to a dentist who removed some of her teeth and has said she is not willing to remove any more teeth as there is nothing wrong with them – her gums being the answer. She also said it was not worth putting in a plate at a cost of around £189, as it would probably have to be done again, if her teeth were to move further.Should she seek a second opinion. She is being treated as an NHS patient. I would welcome your comments. Thank you. ,
