hi tweeny, my neighbour has the same problem...I'm not in Dorset but I found these for you. You could try giving them a ring & explain what you need, hopefully they'll be able to help.

Dorset Dental Helpline on 01202 854443 between 9am and 5pm
or
NHS Direct on 0845 46 47 anytime

Just trying to pluck up the courage to make an appt with my own dentist :o(

I am positive you could speak to a private dentist in your practice and ask them to come to your home and look at your teeth the best they can! Just for a check up! I don't think they would turn the money down. If not try the Citizens Advice Bureau.

You could contact these people:

They give advice on disability issues and services.They should have a list of dentists who would be able to help.
