A man left with no teeth after being unable to find an NHS dentist for over two years is now facing a £40k bill to have them fixed. The 35-year-old started losing teeth six years ago and can now only eat pureed food.
Aleksandar Stoilov, a student from Bristol, was placed on the waiting list for an NHS dentist two years ago but has yet to be seen. Without a referral from a dentist, he was also unable to visit a dental hospital despite all of his teeth snapping off at the gum, the Mirror reports.
Desperate to get answers about why his teeth are so fragile - breaking even when he ate a soft piece of bread - Aleksander flew back to his home country of Bulgaria to see a professional. Unfortunately they were stumped by the “mystery” problem and unable to help.
