Q. Dear Mr Tennet, I am a 20 year old female with a genetic trait which has left me with four milk teeth for which there are no adult replacements. All are matching molars- two in each jaw and at opposite sides. I have lost one already and am due to lost two more as my gums have receded too far. My sister is the same, however she lost hers when she was young and so the other teeth drifted to fill in most of the gap. I have a very wide smile and so my gaps will be easily visible; I am applying for jobs at the moment and personal presentation is massively important for me, and besides the confidence issue I am worried that I will have trouble chewing. Would I be eligible for bridges on the NHS? Or even dentures? Anything at all would be a huge help. Many thanks for considering my question! Becky Archer,
