I m 18 can I have treatment for my teeth at NHS?

Sunday, October 11th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr. Patel, At the age of around 12 I chipped my front tooth after a fall leaving less than half of my front tooth behind. I had a filling applied to this, but the tooth has gradually darkened over time. I’ve heard that this is due to internal bleeding within the tooth. Yesterday, this filling fell out and I am yet again left with half a tooth. The tooth in question is a few shades darker than my other front tooth and it looks very bad. I’m an 18 year old on a gap year, with no money at all. Would the NHS be able to help with my problem because it really looks awful? Thank you

I had my front teeth capped could teeth whitening affect them

Thursday, October 8th, 2009
Q.
I have in the past been told I brush my teeth too hard which makes the gums receed. Today I have had several filled in and they look awful. My teeth are yellow in colour and the fillings are white, stick out, and I just want to cry. Was this because I am an NHS patient? I have asked before at my dentist about tooth whitening and was told to buy a pack from boots, which didn’t seem to have much effect as my two front teeth were capped 24 years ago when I broke them? Help
