I am 27 yrs how can i fix my messed up teeth?

Q. I am 27yrs old and to be honest my teeth are a mess, i am petrified of dentists but have sat so many times and got horrible white fillings in my front teeth,now things are worse as my eye tooth has came out and i also have a huge gap at other side, no dentist in Ayr will do veneers as i dont pay. Please help as i wont even leave the house with my daughters as i am so embarassed with my smile.

A.

I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with your teeth.

I am unsure what you mean when you say your tooth has ‘fallen out’. If it has broken or cracked you are entitled to have this fixed on the NHS. If there is a space there with no tooth at all left then again this space can again be filled on the NHS with either a partial denture or a bridge (your dentist will have to assess your mouth to see which is the best option for you).

Unfortunately the NHS only provides treatment to make a patient dentally healthy so Veneers are not available. You can have this carried out privately but Im afriad it will not be free.

I recommend that you improve your oral hygiene as teeth can only get decayed if a high volume of sugar is comsumed and is not cleaned away. Make sure you are brushing your teeth twice a day for at least 3 minutes and flossing once a day. This will also keep your gums healthy.
