My last porcelain crown had developed an unsightly black line below the gum over the years and therefore I decided to have it replaced. I am an NHS patient but paid £500 for my dentist to replace the crown privately. U...

I had a severe accident in work in which more than half my front tooth was knocked off. It was glued back on and lasted a couple of months and now it has come off again. Im scared to go the dentist because I am a student but still have to pay for my dental care, and I will not have the money to pay for the likes of a crown.
