Q. Hello, I am 21 years old, I am a student studying psychology than going on to med school, so clearly i am not going to be able afford private cosmetic work done for a very long time. I have such bad teeth, i avoid smiling. I can’t stand looking at my teeth, every time i brush my teeth i have to turn my back to the mirror. My teeth make me so depressed. When i was younger i used to smoke, i also use to have somewhat of an eating disorder, where i use to make my self sick, so my teeth bare the scars of this. Do you know if NHS dentists offer a payment plan? I’d ask my dentist all this, but as you can imagien NHS dentists are very rushed in thier appointments, so i cannot stress enough how depressed my teeth make me. I feel that a nice smile would greatly improve my quality of life, Thank you for your time. PS, if i sent you a pic, would you be able to suggest the best course of action. Thank you
