Can the NHS pay for dental crowns needed because of medical causes?
Q.
i have crohns disease, and had twelve inches of my intestine removed last may (07). Since then because of the effect the disease had on my relationship with my husband (he couldnt cope) my marriage has broken up and im on a low income with two children. I was extremely ill and in severe pain and distress for two years before i was diagnosised and almost lost my life a couple of times. About six of my top front teeth decayed badly (probably because of vomiting a dozen times a day. Know I am looking at a four figure dental bill for the crowns that i am having put in. (Dod’nt get me wrong, I worship my dentist for having nice teeth at last,but as I was so long undiagnosid can the nhs foot the bill? thankyou

You would have to register with a NHS dentist, I am sure you will be able to get some of the treatment done if the teeth are decayed.
