She is struggling to get an appointment anywhere
59-year-old Mandy Sharp used to be proud to flash her pearly whites and would get compliments from friends, but sadly she lost her perfect smile after her dentist appointment was cancelled while she was in intensive care.
Mandy has now tried hundreds of dentists as far away as Hull, but has been told none are accepting NHS patients. She said: "I got to the point where I wanted to throw myself out of a window. I’ve lost 13 teeth, and now I’m down to one at the front, and the rest have all snapped off. And the bottom ones have started to go.
She had an appointment booked with her dentist for some fillings and asked her mum to cancel it at least a week in advance when she became very ill. But after she came out of the hospital, she claimed she was struck off their patient list as staff said she’d “missed” an appointment - and could not be reinstated.
During this time, she noticed black marks forming on her teeth as they began to rot, and shockingly over Christmas in 2021, nine of her top teeth cleanly "snapped off". These were later joined by three more top teeth and one in her lower gum, which came out by August last year. She said: "When I came out of that meeting in November, I got in the taxi, and I sat in the taxi and cried all the way home. I phoned my GP straight away when I started feeling like that. He put me on anti-depressants." Mandy said she has tried to get a referral through her GP for dental care three times but after that failed, she is sadly still no closer to getting the treatment she needs.
