Woman Super Glues Her Teeth Back in | Only Human

[Music] five million people in the UK haven't been to the dentist in the last ten years it's these kinds of people were desperate to get into our clinic our first patient is one of them I'm here at useless stations me Angela off the train she's traveling down for her first appointment so I imagine she's gonna be pretty nervous to be honest I'm conscious that I've been incredibly lucky with my own teeth I've had them whitened in the past and I really look after them I just hope Angela won't feel that I'm judging her in any way I don't want anything to get in the way of her getting the right treatment Angela's been so reluctant to see a dentist it's taken months of negotiation to get her to our clinic for you to even be here is amazing oh yeah you know I feel good about that I feel proud this will be the first time Angela's let a dentist see inside her mouth for a decade Circle and her team go to work to find out as much as they can [Music] Angela's been keeping a secret she's ashamed to share with anyone I've got a few holes in and I have one at the forum that's fallen out how did you get it back in I'm afraid um people believe in it [ __ ] how have you been doing that I just when it comes comes out I just put a little bit of glue and try and hold it in place to keep it so I don't have a gap in my teeth it's probably one of the worst cases that I've seen and certainly one of the worst cases of desperation to superglue a tooth back in the now paper for me so just gonna have a little peek around for occlusal amalgam three retained route Angeles front teeth are coated in a thick layer of plaque and superglue it's a result of years of desperation that go as far back as her childhood I've always been scared of a dentist because my mom died it fears he fall from throat cancer right she went to chapter two so on that solid bone she had cancer three grade one I was nine I'm gonna fear is in the back of her mind you just get your mind set and you just think you don't go you don't make that phone call [Music] I feel better for just you know opening my mouth to you challoweenukah angela has been in our clinic for nearly two hours [Music] only now cancer pill decide whether her teeth can be saved I'm not people with having this conversation she knows she's got problem with her teeth what I'm going to tell her is just going to confirm her worst fears and it's going to you know devastate her and thing unfortunately in the top jaw you've lost nearly 90% of the bone supporting your teeth the bad news is that we're looking at losing all of the top teeth yeah and I would say quite a few of the bottom teeth I'm upset because I know I've got to lose the - yeah but I had a feeling about that all the way along be alright oh yeah what happened this a very emotional thing to be told that you've been illusion because they're part of you and it's like almost like a loss isn't it yeah my my mom said it's like a bereavement when she lost her teeth she felt so upset because it was a part of her that was gone Angela's not only upset about losing her teeth circles only option is to replace them with removable dentures I just get this impression of worry oh you know it's that well I don't I just don't want to go out and smile a little bit drop out some like you know my mom has had dentures and that is how her teeth look now and she can smile with total confidence I can't I'm just gutted for Angie because to be told at the age of 48 that you've got to lose all of your top t is devastating for her I mean it's gonna be pretty difficult for anyone to deal with so I think the best thing now is for her to just take a bit of time to let the Wiggles back in Cheshire professional dog walker angela is still terrified at the thought of having dentures all aboard what really scares me about dentists isn't for I would just take them out and then get it yourself like you know I love to sing lookey gonna don't want that the embarrassment of talking to somebody or having a laugh going out with the girls and them coming out or something like that you know really really how referring me I'd rather put up with what I've got then you know go through that with Angela not returning to our clinic I'm heading to Cheshire to see how she's coping I just feel so self-conscious but I don't do anything you know I don't go anywhere really mmm evil going in a shop I feel embarrassed they'd be like no George look at you no sorry I noticed that when you're talking feel really self-conscious about your teeth or even for a muscle Newman boring barrister like sit and have a conversation with him hmm so I just you know to my head away it's what I saw to him [Music] half time at all you know with my hand over my mouth I know I shouldn't really because draws the eye even more angela is so ashamed that she's still fixing her own tooth with superglue when it falls out you use glue on the top of the tooth and then I put it back in place until the glue is fat as you push it in yeah the glue yeah it's spread it spreads it's just normal superglue it says it's an irritant something tells me this is not stuff that you should be putting in your mouth I'm really worried for Angela I just hope she'll come back to the clinic because she can't carry on the way she is it's been a few weeks since I saw Angela and she's finally made up her mind she's not coming back to our clinic she's so frightened of having dentures that could fall out at any time that she's found an alternative today a top private dentist will fit implants for teeth that are permanently screwed into her jawbone the treatment costs thousands of pounds and we use up all her life savings to agreement with the dentist that the remaining amounts will be done via finance so I'm really really happy about that sir pol is unable to offer Angela the same treatment only patients who've suffered trauma or have genetic conditions that affect their teeth are eligible for implants on the NHS but she's also worried about Angela's health although she would like to have implants if she doesn't stop smoking and if she doesn't improve her cleaning you can still get gum disease around implants she could spend a lot of money having implants but it may be for a short period [Music] both dentists have told Angela the risks of implants but her decision is made all right so let's get started 11 of Angela's top teeth are about to be extracted and the first one she can do herself so what I'm gonna ask you to do if it's okay are you gonna be able to take that tooth out for me just to get rid of the the initial tooth yeah is that all right okay yeah say goodbye to it when definitely never gonna be seeing that again really that's a denture it's made a self a denture LT of superglue calculus just having out of her mouth is gonna make him all feel so much better her other teeth aren't putting up much of a fight either there's so much bone loss around them that they're only really supported by Christian after the extractions six titanium screws are inserted into Angela's jaw and her dental implants with 12 new teeth will be permanently attached dr. kaylis Solanki has ten years experience fitting implants he sets all his patients a strict maintenance and cleaning plan we've got to understand that having this kind of worked on there's maintenance involved you know they can't just have a treatment like this and expect she's gonna last them for the rest of their life and they don't have to do anything ever again you know this is probably higher maintenance unfortunately than having her own teeth after surgery Angela returns home I'm swollen a bit upset about a blah blah blah but the best thing you've done she must wait for a few weeks for the swelling to subside but just perfect persevere where they are as parks only then can she really see the results of her expensive surgery I'll come back to see her in a few weeks time when I first met Angela she was practically a recluse she didn't want to go out of the house for fear that someone would judge her I want to see her new teeth and how she's changed really close enough yeah I mean you can't see anything can you know wonderful in that I feel amazing and there's no hand over my mouth or embarrassment and all the difference people have said it made you notice to me my friends things that I just like oh my god you Melora go in Angie just looks sensational she is transformed she knows that there's a chance her implants won't last especially if she doesn't look after them I think she will she is committed to making it work it's a new start for Angie and I couldn't be happier for [Laughter] you
