I Am In The Process Of Applying To Dental School. Do You Have Any Tips For Finding Work Experience In The Dental Industry?

Tuesday, September 9th, 2014
Q.

Good afternoon Dr Gambroudes. I would like your help with something. I am a recent sixth form leaver and I am currently in the process of applying to dental schools to get a dentistry qualification. I was wondering if you could give me some insight into finding any work experience within the dental field to better my chances. I would not really mind about the type of experience, but I feel that any experience within the field of dentistry would be of use to me. I am finding it hard to find this work experience and would just like some advice tips from an expert such as yourself. Thanks for your help.

I Have Pain In My Jaw But I Can’t Afford To Get This Fixed. Do You Have Any Ideas On What I Can Do?

Thursday, July 24th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes. I had steroids as a child and as a result my teeth more or less all contain fillings. Money is tight for me, but I have a very painful jaw which my dentist tends to ignore. I have two teeth missing and others need pulling out. I am only 36 and find it hard to smile because I have lost all confidence as my teeth are such a mess not to mention how painful eating and drinking is. What should I do? Any help or advice on this will really be helping me. Thank you in advance.

I Need A Lot Of Cosmetic Work On My Teeth, But There Is No Way I Can Afford £5000. How Can I Find A Way To Get The Treatment?

Tuesday, November 12th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I’ve just been to my local dentist and he has told me I need a lot of cosmetic work doing on my teeth which is going to cost £5000. I have an NHS exemption and have been told I can’t get any help with the cost. I struggle with the way I look due to my teeth and try not to smile so no one sees them. Can you suggest if I am able to get any help at all as I have very little money but can’t keep going on the way I am. Thanks. I hope you can provide some advice.

I’ve Read That In America They Have Dentistry Schools That Do Free Implants, Is It The Same In The UK?

Friday, September 27th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Andrew, I’m only 32 years old and I have had no teeth (full mouth) for nearly 9 years now and it’s affecting my children, as they are currently being teased at school. I have had numerous sets of dentures but my mouth/gums keep on getting infected. Do you know of any dentistry schools that do the free implants as I’ve been looking at the prices and with me being a single mother on benefits I can’t really afford the prices and it’s really affecting my confidence as I’m looking a lot older than my age and I’ve read that in America they do have dentistry schools that do offer free implants, Is it the same in the UK?

I Contacted My Dental School For Dental Implants, But My Dentist Wouldn’t Refer Me. Why?

Friday, August 30th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I contacted my Dental school, to enquire about dental implants being done, I’m unemployed, and I don’t work due to health issues. I asked if they do dental implants, they said yes they would do it free, only if I asked my dentist to refer me, I did this, but have been turned down and I don’t know why? They said I don’t meet the criteria. Do you know if I was to try another dental school, whether they would do it? It’s very costly for me to have it done, at my dentist. I’m having problems with my plate, I keep getting ulcers, taking, my plate out and in, to clean, also I have cracked two of my teeth twice, taking it out. Any suggestions for implants? Also what are the costs involved to have this done?

Can I get free cosmetic work at dental schools?

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011
Q.

Hey Rob

I would like to know if there is any way I could have free veneers or porcelain implants across the front of my mouth (top row of teeth) as they are all badly mishapen and crooked.

I ask because after speaking to one of my friends recently she had free veneers done by student dentists who needed people to practice on, and as I have a low income, but earn just enough NOT to be eligable for any benefits I am actually worse off than most people and would never be able to afford these types of luxurys.

I am an aspiring musicain and think that improving my smile would have a positive impact on my life and career as my teeth are the only thing that hold me back from giving people a confident smile.

please let me know if there is any help I can recieve, I would really appreciatte any help you could give.

Can I get treatment at dental schools?

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011
Q.

Dear Sirs

I have been having a lot of problems with my teeth for a quite a few years now and the NHS Dentist don�t seem very helpful at all.

I would like to find out if there are any dental surgeon out there that are looking for people to help them gaining experience.

A bit about myself 30 year old female single mother and my teeth are just breaking off I have had a tooth removed and another just broke in 3 pieces I have had about 3 root canals and loads of fillings.

Went to my dentist last week because I was having pain on my tooth and I had a chipped tooth now he fixed the tooth I was having problems with but refused to wok on the tooth that had been chipped and asked me to return in 3 months and have work done on this tooth again another tooth has broken and I said you know my tooth broke he replied by saying that it will need to be removed but they cant do it until 3 months time so I am left with one broken tooth and another tooth which has been broken and not much of it left which is causing me pain now and I don�t think I can wait 3 months to have this problem dealt with.

I have very difficulties in eating as both sides of my teeth are very sensitive and it hurts quite often when eating even if it�s an apple.

Please can you help me if there are any dentist schools I could join as I can not afford to pay private dental care

Many thanks for your time in reading this.
