Dentistry

My experience of meeting numerous dentists has been a roller coaster ride of emotions and massive learning, leaving me shocked and disillusioned.  The findings, conflicting advice, important issues missed and quotes ranging from £999 to £34,000.

In 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.  No apologies from the other biological dentists who cast judgement over me.  I came to learn my dental journey was far from over and how dentists protect one another.

I discovered 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 dentistry sector.  The 'Holistic' brand does not guarantee quality dental care.  It is often delivered in fancy packaging and marketing strategies, with focus on profit.  Do your research prior to having any treatment, and do not rely totally on a website, social media presence or reviews.

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.  However, this is finally coming to a conclusion and I hope this will be broadcast before the end of 2024.

 

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 November 2024 I have still not achieved my goal.

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 those people who are no better after spending thousands of pounds.
 

I have no 'go to' money pot after dedicating 17 years working voluntarily, setting up and running two not for profit organisations, living as a one income family, £10,000 in debt from dental surgery in 2021 with the outcome of a Dental Investigation in October 2023 erasing the Registrant from the Register, an outcome that does nothing to support me financially or the decline in my dental health since then.  

I will shortly be setting up a new Go Fund Me to support future dental work, diagnostics and therapies.  The link will be posted here. In supporting me, you support raising awareness of non-toxic dentistry and a new future for UK dentistry, which is long overdue.

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.

As 2024 draws to a close, we are in new times and the divide between those who can access dental or functional medicine care and those who cannot widens,  Inflated prices in the dental sector continue to be set to meet demand,  remaining sadly out of reach for many.  This is not part of the new world I wish to see.

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 believe everyone deserves a good standard of dentistryto 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.
