Oh God Leanne! It's obscene our kids aren't entitled to free treatment on NHS - especially after paying into the piggin system for so long... And there's women out there getting boob jobs done for free!!! I'll jump down off my soapbox now.....;-). Hope you are all ok xx

Hi Bev - my friend's daughter went to Smiles 5 years ago too & recommends him. She is now being referred for full braces to Faces & Smiles in Thorpe. From what I gather you get funding depending on the severity & your dentist should be able to advise on the criteria. I know of twins who have had braces fitted - one was funded & the the other was private. Hope you get it sorted. Xx

P.S. my friend paid Kate at Peppermint Dental Clinic ( opposite Waitrose) for an initial assessment & she referred her daughter to Mr Patel. X
