Q. Hello Dr Solanki, I am a pretty desperate person of late. Desperate for a smile that I have never had. I am 53yrs old, and have always been scared of dentists since my youth, parents were poor so could not afford treatment. I dont have the funds right now for treatment, so as time goes on they will get worse. I rarely smile, as my teeth protrude, they are breaking up, I know they will get worse and right now I cant do a thing about it…but would love to. i have seen great work done on programmes such as “10 years younger” and wished I could get treatment like that. It would help me so much physically and mentally and more. I take one look at the prices and my heart sinks knowing I cant get there. Therefore I am asking in a really genuine but desperate attempt to get help. Is there any way I can get a full makeover (I do need it..)and be able to pay over a long period of time? Alternatively, in exchange for the work done, I would be more than happy to promote your work and business with referrals. I can see you laughing and about to delete me, but I am not a crank, it is a serious offer. I just do not know which way to turn. There are many people who trawl the internet for cosmetic practices, and I can certainly promote yours, of that I have no problem. If you saw my mouth, you would understand why I am asking. I am a good person, and I would really promote your work continuously through the many people I talk to, especially women (I sell nail care products), they spend…! I would hope you do not disregard this as a crank, absolutely not, but if you feel in your heart you could do it I would deeply appreciate it. If it is a no, I would understand. kind regards
