Not for my but DP. he needs- what we now know as a root canal on a top tooth you can see if he smiles. He’s 32. We paid for an emergency dentist to get a scan to find out what’s going on. He’s in so much pain and taking painkillers every 2-4 hours for the past 3 days. The tooth is going a dark colour.
problem- we don’t qualify for NHS. Even if there was one near us (there isn’t) we earn over the threshold but all of our money goes on keeping us alive.
we’ve contacted three dentists. Prices we are looking at is £600 (partly done) £1145 for the full treatment. Nothing seems to be cheaper. Even locked at an additional place miles away by my parents. Out of budget.
He has a heart condition, they stress he has to take his dental health seriously due to the infection but yet he doesn’t qualify for free dental? Trying to get hold of his consultant but she’s away.
can’t take out credit cards bad rating- no one is in the position to lend us £1k+
he’s in a lot of pain and I’m just not sure what to do?
