Grants available for private dental treatment

Giantdaz74

To cut a long story short my partner is disabled and has severe MH issues and she needs dental treatment that cannot be had on the NHS, hopefully this will alleviate some of her issues, even though i have found a training clinic to provide the treatment at nearly half the cost of our own dentist it's still way out of our financial reach.
It was suggested to us to apply for grants and funding which i have done via previous employmeny industry grants where they have helped reduce our arrears on stuff but not towards the cost of the treatment, does anyone know of or has experience of sourcing funding for this kind of thing?

I found this link but whether you're successful will depend on what treatment it is. https://www.bailythomasprovidentfund.org.uk/what-we-do/dental-treatment

Thanks for that but i've looked at that before and don't meet the qualifying criteria, it's for employees of Mansfield Brewery company

That was all i could find. To be honest, i've never heard of grants for dental treatment.

No me either that's why i thought i'd try on here as someone may have had some success previously.

There's a couple of dentists who may be able to say where help may be possible.

OP "the NHS can't do the treatment" isn't that why they have dental hospitals?

I don't know who told you/them it couldn't be done on the NHS but I suspect they were being "economical" with the truth, get a second opinion !

The NHS won't do anything they deem not necessary for basic dental health.

There are many things that the NHS won’t cover.  Try getting white fillings for your back teeth.
