Teeth
Hey there...I have had trouble with my teeth for years and when I was young on the NHS I could get my dental work for free and believe me it is very costly. The enamel on my teeth wears away very quickly and my teeth begin to chip and break away. I am now 21 and in full time work but I do not earn enough to pay for my re-enameling and I haven't seen a dentist in about 4 years. They are now very painful and I know I need them done. So now to the question - is there anyway cheaper do get this done. It has to be done every couple of years. ANY SUGGESTIONS please ?

Fill it in and return it to the address with the documents they require. They may be able to help with costs if you are on a low income.
If you haven't seen a dentist for 4 years, you may have to register with a new one, as I think they only keep your details on record for 2 years. Have a look in the phone book, and check if they do NHS work...many these days don't.
Good luck
