L, who suffers with fibromyalgia and myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is mostly housebound, due to the exhaustion and pain of these illnesses, which means she has now been medically retired. L has been suffering with two broken teeth for several months and, although she is on the NHS list, she simply can't afford the treatment to have them repaired or removed. L is worried, as these teeth are now becoming infected, due to pain in her mouth and jaw. She would be grateful for any help toward this.
