Rotten teeth?
I haven't been to the dentist in a long time and my teeth look alright at the front, but all the back teeth are quite rotten, you can see they're really bad when I open my mouth.
I know it's my own fault cos I didn't look after them enough and I ate too much sugar and things, but they're starting to hurt me now. I can't afford to pay to get them fixed though, I'm a single mum with 5 kids and money's really tight since my husband left.
My kids have got pretty bad teeth as well, they all probably need fillings done but I can't find a dentist to take us on the NHS and I can't afford to go private.
What should I do? My teeth are really bad and they hurt as well now. And I'm worried about my kids teeth too.
Dose anyone use the Oral-B Rembrandt Professional Whitening Kit?
Answers:
Hi Lauren - sorry to hear about your teeth problems, I agree that it is expensive to keep everything in check. There should be an NHS dentist somewhere in your vicinty. I suggest looking on Yell.com for dentists in your town and calling them in turn asking for an NHS slot on their books (this is how I got mine, it did take me a while but got there after about 5 calls).
If I remember rightly from the receptionists desks, forms are available for you to receive assistance with funding, I think your best bet is once you get a slot, go in (whether or not you get an appointment straight away) and ask. This way you know straight up how much money youre looking at to get yourself and your little 'uns sorted.
Moneys tight for me too, and theres only me and my other half to look after, but I think setting a little aside every week / month for the purposes of health would be good so you know that you can get treatment. Once youve got the problems sorted, try and go every 6 months / 1 year and this will keep future problems in check. I didnt do this, left it 5 years, and consequently had a HUGE bill to get my teeth back in good order. Good luck chick

How can you tell someone politely that their breath smells.?
teeth are rarely covered for adults under any kind of state healthcare i nalmost any country.even canada. the reason is that the state knows that your teeth are your responsibility to take care of. sucks to be you.Which is better, porcelain veneers or regular veneers, and what are the prices?
You should call your local Health department of community health services, or even a hospital. Tell them your situation, and I'm sure there are services available for you. We have a clinic in my town that does services based on your income and expenses. Just ask (locally) there is help. Even a catholic outreach or local church may be able to help, but get it taken care of right away!

If you are in real pain, you could attend at your local A&E hospital who could then offer you some treatment and maybe refer you to a specialist in the NHS for further treatment, othewise your only other option is to pay privately for treatment.Source(s):
