My sister is really depressed about her teeth. What would you suggest?

Q. hi there, my younger sister is 15 years old and she is very depressed about her teeth. Her teeth have decayed and discoloured and she has also got missing teeth. Her teeth are affecting her confidence and i am very concerned, i have caught her crying a lot and she also does not go out with her friends much anymore. would you suggest going to the doctors to see what they say as there are many people that get such things free on the nhs when it is causing depression… many thanks,
A. It sounds as though your sister is going through a really tough time. Ideally, you need to get to the route cause of what is troubling her. The doctors can help put her in touch with the right people to talk to- like counsellors etc, but if you feel that it is her teeth that are the problem, then perhaps a trip to your nearest cosmetic dentist to discuss the issues would be well worth the while. It is improratnt anyway, to have regular dental maintenance and check ups every 6-12 months.
