Q.
I have recently been involved in a serious car accident (6 days ago) i lost both front teeth and my middle bottom and fractured a top incisor. i was taken to hospital with two of my teeth and was told they could be implanted within 4 hours, the hospital failed to even examine my teeth and in the end decided just to treat my broken forearm and to leave my teeth until 2 days later. By the time this decision was made they had missed the 4hour window. I had my fractured tooth removed and am waiting for an appointment to take out the root. I have been informed the nhs do not perform implants but i am a student aged just 22 who cannot afford £2,000 per tooth when surely it was not my fault they had not tried to implant my real teeth. I’m at a real loss here, im extremely down, refuse to go out in public and am struggling to eat. Do the nhs provide bridges? would that be applicable to me? the bottom tooth i have been told can be fixed by wearing a bottom brace to close the gap.i have yet to see my dentist,this will be next week. I’m just after some advice please as I’m so worried i will have dentures at the age of 22 or that it will not be sorted out appropriatley. regards,
