Did you know that your oral health can impact on your physical and mental health? Neither did I until 6 years ago, when I experienced debilitating dental issues.

I have gained an insight into the tooth/body connection, oral hygiene, nutrition, lifestyle, detoxification and the importance of finding a skilled and knowledgeable dentist, you feel you can trust and work with as a team.

I am sharing my personal ongoing story to help raise awareness and give hope to others. 

It is time for change.

Help!  My Teeth are Killing Me!

I have spent 6 years travelling all over the UK trying to find a dentist to help me.

This experience has been and continues to be even more challenging and overwhelming, with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia 10 years ago, which means I live with chronic pain, memory fog and mobility issues to name a few of the symptoms. 

I have spent 10 years searching for answers to my health, and strongly believe that my dental issues are contributing greatly to my chronic illness.

My experience of meeting numerous dentists has been a roller coaster ride of emotions and massive learning.  It has left me shocked and disillusioned.  The findings, conflicting advice, important issues missed, quotes ranging from £999 to 34,000 euros. In summer 2021 I had my treatment/surgery, a sequence of traumatic, exhausting, stressful and upsetting events, not to mention expensive.

In October 2021, I came to learn my dental journey was far from over.  On top of that I discovered the dentist who did my surgery was working without insurance, then suspended, and now retired, with no accountability or justice for patients left high and dry, after a total expenses amounting to around £10,000, which needs to be reimbursed, and now the added anxiety of knowing more dental work is required, that requires more finance.

I have seen first hand how the quality of examinations, knowledge and treatment plans varies, even within the holistic dentistry sector.  The 'Holistic' brand does not guarantee quality dental care.  Do your research prior to having any treatment, and do not rely totally on a website and reviews.

I decided to share my story on a podcast (we hope this will be out Summer 2022), and also on social media channels, to help raise awareness and give encouragement to others who may also be struggling. 

There are no words to express the importance of this treatment for me.  My aim was for my mouth to be metal, infection and toxin free, to give me a solid foundation to build upon in my quest for wellness.

Since I began the podcast project, I have spoken to people who had to re-mortgage their homes, taken out big loans and multiple credit cards to pay for their dental work.  For some it has cost them their job and even their home and marriage.  They may have a mouth that is infection free, but now face a lifetime of debt, which in itself causes stress, which impacts negatively on your health.
 

I have set up a Go Fund Me to fundraise for surgery and therapies to support my journey which has already cost thousands.  I have no 'go to' money pot after dedicating 16 years working voluntarily, setting up and running two not for profit organisations, living as a one income family.

To donate to my fundraiser, please visit my Go Fund Me platform  https://gofund.me/fffb83e1 

Your support to help me to finance my surgery and therapies, will not only be personally invaluable to me, but will give hope to others, and who knows, bring much needed change to the world of UK dentistry.

Share link of this web page and my Go Fund Me with your family, friends, work colleagues

Share my story with your dentist, GP, consultant.  It may help others who present with unexplainable chronic symptoms.

I hope by following my story, it will give insight, inspiration and encouragement to others who live with chronic illness to never give up, and for those with healthy teeth, to ensure they remain so, and avoid invasive dental work in the future.  Thank you.
