Large numbers of people are going without dental treatment and some even report extracting their own teeth because they cannot find an NHS dentist in their area, a survey reveals today.

The Dentistry Watch survey of more than 5,000 people, from the Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health, found widespread unhappiness among both patients and dentists despite government reforms to increase the availability of NHS dentistry.

I'm 22 and need about the same amount of work.

I bet you, just like me, will be glad when it's all done. We can fucking smile.

Indeed. It's going to suck going there and having them look at all the crazyiness but once it's all said and done (and my bank account recovers) I know that I'm going to feel 100% better. And I might even start smiling lol
