I cannot afford to pay for my grandaughter’s dental treatment, what can we do?

Q. Hi, I am 83. I cannot help my grandaughter financially. is there help under the NHS for her please. Her teeth have worn down to gum level. Fear, has stopped her all these years from trying to get help to stop the problem. The roots are strong but the surface broke away years ago on her teeth. she has no confidence,She walks around with her hand across her mouth. She cannot eat properly, cannot get a job. She has lost her children through domestic problems and is homeless. She needs to make a fresh start, but her teeth must come first to give her self pride, and confidence, also she need to give nice white smiles once again. She would get work then. Is there help out there please. I am worried sick. Thanks you for giving us your time (I heard that dental training hospitals do implants for free with trainee dentists, Is this true please). she is 36 years old and looks much older,,
A. This sounds a very sad situation. Contact the dental hospitals in London – they may have an MSc student who needs to treat a tooth lose case.
