Q. I was give tetracycline in 1982,I have since found out that doctors knew from the 70’s that this would affect my teeth but never told my parents and went ahead with the treatment when I was 6 months old. Due to this my baby teeth came through black and then my adult teeth came through black at the back. I then had to have 9 teeth out at the age of 8. My teeth were not straight so I had a fixed brace for 3 years but due to the drug my teeth were very weak and the braces didn’t work on all my teeth. Not only have my teeth been left crooked but also very stained from the tetracyclin as you can imagine this has affected my confidence badly. Because whitening will never work on my teeth I only have a couple of options to sort this out but this would not be something i will ever be able to afford is this something I can get sorted on the NHS? and how would I go about it? Thank you
