Dentistry

My experience of meeting numerous dentists NHS/Private/Holistic/Biological has been a roller coaster ride of emotions and massive learning, leaving me shocked and disillusioned. 

10 years of the holistic/biological path brought conflicting advice, important issues missed and quotes ranging from £999 to £34,000.

Summer 2021 my dental surgery in Harley Street, London was a traumatic experience.  I shared my journey in real time on my You Tube channel and instagram .  For 2 years I was unable to share detailed information while the General Dental Council investigation was underway.  This concluded in October 2023, allegations proven and the dentist struck off, being described as 'deplorable' by the General Dental Council Lawyer.  I paid £10,000 for this experience.  Following the outcome of this investigation, I did not receive any apology from other biological dentists who had gossiped about me and cast judgement.  I came to learn my dental journey was far from over, and how some dentists will protect one another and project their failings onto patients. 

There was no way to claim for the £10,000 despite my case clear cut and legally proven.  A debt I carry to this day.

No lawyer or Barrister will take on a dental claim on a No Win No Fee Basis if the dentist does not have Indemnity Insurance, which mine did not.  The General Dental Council as Regulator, have no power to enforce a dentist to reimburse a patient, even when proven they were at fault. The regulatory system knowingly does not protect UK patients.

Please sign my petition to support my call for the General Dental Council to monitor all dentists Indemnity Insurance status, to ensure the protection of patients.  One day this could be you or someone you know affected.



I have seen first hand how the quality of examinations, knowledge and treatment plans varies, even within the holistic/biological dentistry sector, and despite high fees, this sadly does not guarantee quality of dental care.  

My advise is to never rely totally on a website, social media presence or reviews. It came to my attention only in 2025 that negative experiences posted on social media are being deliberately filtered.

Word of mouth is everything in the world of dentistry.  I have said this many times.  The dental community sharings and conversations are the best for real information.  A dentist can run a busy and successful clinic without any social media activity and still make a good income.
​

There are no words to express the importance of the proposed dental treatment for me.  My aim was for my mouth to be metal, infection, toxin and pain free, to give me a solid foundation to build upon in my quest for wellness, yet in March 2025 I had still not achieved my goal with no light at the end of the tunnel.

Since 2021, 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 had their dental issues resolved, but now face a lifetime of debt, which in itself causes stress, impacting negatively on their health.  Then there are people no better after spending thousands of pounds, still searching for help, nowhere to go and no money to pay for it.

In 10 years I have now spent £40,000 on this path. A millstone around my neck at almost 60 years of age. 

My vision since 2018 was to establish a not-for-profit biological dental clinic with supporting therapies.  I now see that is not possible for me to personally deliver, so I have shared my vision with some dentists over the last few years, hoping something will manifest in the future.

The divide between those who can access dental or functional medicine care and those who cannot continues to widen.  Extortionate prices in the biological dental sector continue to be set to meet demand, remaining sadly out of reach for many. 

To see a biological dentistry event in April 2025 advertised as 'How to Grow Your Business with Biological Dentistry & Zirconia Implants' sent shivers down my spine. Should we not be focusing on improving the health of patients rather than viewing them as commodities? 

None of this belongs in the new world we wish to see.

 

Everyone needs to earn a living and that includes dentists!  Some dentists have worked more years than others, some have more extensive training, so these are factors to consider.  What I am sadly seeing is the word 'biological' being used as a bandwagon to justify extortionate prices, regardless of experience and training.

​

I believe everyone deserves a good standard of dentistry to support their health and not add to their toxic load, delivered to them from the heart without financial agendas, with no exclusions based on wealth.

I have always been a voice and advocate for people who are excluded from accessing biological dental care and any form of private healthcare.  I remain true to myself and my core values, and will continue to share my journey wherevever that may take me.

By raising awareness, who knows what dentist may be watching from the sidelines and be open to setting up that long awaited not for profit biological dental practice!

 

I decided to share my story on a podcast and also on You Tube and social media channels, to help raise awareness and give encouragement to others who may also be struggling.  In 2021 I began a podcast project, which has been delayed due to my own health challenges, and the other commitments of my Podcast Producer.  We were due to progress to broadcasting at the end of 2024, but an unexpected turn of events in my dental care brought more delays.
 

WHERE I AM AT MAY 2025
​
In April a random stranger contacted me to offer help.  I found myself overseas at a consultation and 2 weeks later returning for surgery under a General Anaesthetic.

Now I finally had some anwers to 10 years of my questions.

5 areas of amalgam were removed from my jaw, each measuring between 1mm and 6mm.  This had spread to the soft tissue in my face.

A syringe of pus was drained from my sinus.

5 cavitations sites were opened from 2021 and 2024 extractions and all had to be cleaned out.

A lower back molar extracted and treated as a cavitation.

It is not over for me yet - this is the first step - to be amalgam and infection free.

Biological dentists told me since 2021 I was amalgam free, another dentist saying there was a 'spec' of amalgam near my sinus that may not be worth trying to remove because it was so small.

 

In the past I have shared publically my path, who I have seen and where and sadly often regret doing so.  I know  by sharing my story it influenced people to make their choices because they trust my judgement.  Sadly I continue to hear horrific outcomes that are heartbreaking.  Whilst we are all responsible for our choices, it is still difficult for me to hear so many distressed people.

I spent many hours supporting other patients whilst going through the traumatising ordeal of my own surgeries in 2021 to the present day.  Receiving messages in April 2025 about what I am doing now and people wanting support, I need to clarify I do not have capacity to do that again.

This chapter is different for me, it is more private, but I will continue to be open to sharing what surgery or treatments I have done in the hope it will help provide insights and guidance in what others needs to be aware of, to support them in finding the right dentist for their own needs.

Meanwhile, despite being in my own process, I never lose sight of the big picture.  I want to reassure everyone I am always trying my best behind the scenes to manifest something that will help more people like me.
