Hi everyone nice to meet you all. I'm in q bit of a pickle. Iv neglected my teeth due to self neglecting them I was taking zopiclone daily for 3 years no review etc these make you forget alot. I'm also not blaming my doctor. Anyway my teeth are so disgusting broken in have or they've broken to the point they're just about above my gums. It worries me. I'm just wondering if I found a dentist on the NHS would he have to treat Me if I became one of accepted nhs patients. I think it would be band 3 I would have to pay for etc. I'm 29 sonic not brushed for a while I have pain buy its not bothering me as much as it did 2 years ago

Yes if you found an NHS dentist with availability (which ranges from difficult to impossible) they would have to give you any treatment you need.

Remember they are professionals who have seen teeth in all sorts of states. It'll be another day at work for them and odds are they'll have seen worse, many times 🙂

Look up online for dentist in your area and phone them one by one to see if they are accepting NHS patients.

Local Facebook community groups are also good for finding out which dentists have current NHS availability, as often they only open their books to NHS patients for a short while.
