Q.
I am 17 years old and am contacting you for some advice. Ever since my baby teeth fell out and made way for my adult teeth i wos left with two gaps at the side of each of my front 2 teeth. I am exremely self conscious about them and they are really starting to lower my slef-esteem and make lose my confidence. I was wondering if there is any way to close these gaps and if in any way it is possible to have the procedure done on the nhs, as I or my family dont really have the funds to do it privately. I understand that my procedure is somehow seen as cosmetic and that may be a reason as to why I cant have it funded on the nhs. But to me a persons health is an holistic state and cannot just be seen as a physical thing. The appearence of my teeth are really beginning to affect me emotionally, and to me that is part of a persons health. I hope you can help me, or guide me in the right direction. Thankyou.
