Hi, one of my front teeth is becoming discoloured as the tooth was actually killed by an abcess 5 years ago.
I'd like to have it capped in time for my sisters wedding.
I'm not sure how much it'd cost and can you pay in installments ?

its 3rd tier i think and that covers all your treatment but its £198 i think.....

AFAIK you can arrange a payment plan. My front teeth are all crowned for the same reason. Fortunately I had maternity exemption at the time

We are trying for a baby! should I wait then ?
I didn't know if capping would be covered by this. I hope so.

I've heared you can't have anasthetic if your pregnant though. [Eeek]

I think I'd rather pay.

you can't have treatment whilst pg, but as soon as your baby's born go for a free dental-fest I did, and recommend it!

herbie it was similar treatment to the stuff mll is describing y'see, which could in some ways be viewed as 'cosmetic' rather than 'essential' - although I got mine because I have a syndrome affecting my jaw etc, thus have had lots of surgery. Am no expert
