My teeth are in a bad state after my liver disease, what can I do?
Q.
After having Liver Disease for 22 years, followed by a transplant, by teeth are literally wasting away. My old liver used to prevent me from having enough Vit D and calcium. What can I do. I have got an enormous phobia of anything to do with dentists, All the edges of my teeth have worn away and I have got several decayed teeth. I do sometimes get bad pain. I wish that I could smile but my teeth are so horrible. I am frightened about what all the treatment would cost, as I am 58 but not yet working after my transplant. I am also very stressed just thinking about what might need to be done.

It sounds like you’ll need complex treatment and unless this can be done on the NHS it will be quite expensive. The first step would be to try to find a dentist recommended by a friend, perhaps one that offers treatment for nervous patients such as sedation. They can do a thorough consultation to let you know the costs of the treatment required
