Feel for you Paul. Coincidentally took one of my girls to the dentist this morning as she's losing her teeth to type one diabetes; we decided to get her the "top of the range" denture which has cost us £1,200, but for a beautiful (in and out) 30-year-old who has no way of affording it herself what else can you do?
I was lucky that I only lost rear molars so my "smile" was retained, not that there's much to smile about just now.
Metastatic SCC diagnosed 8th October 2013. Modified radical neck dissection November, thirty-five radiotherapy fractions with 2xCisplatin chemo Jan/Feb 2014. Recurrence on larynx diagnosed July 2020 so salvage laryngectomy in September 2020.
It's so wrong to be chared so much for dental work Mike, but as you say what else can you do, no wonder they drive around in flashy motors. Like your little verse Paul I can also relate to it , are they being taken out tomorrow?
Chris .
Its sometimes not easy but its worth it !
Drivermason from my experience if your teeth are "serious" enough to be done in hospital then you do indeed get it for free though often quite a wait. All a bit unfair but it is what it is.
