Two different stories of patients using superglue to treat their own dental problems were recently shared within hours of each other online.

BBC News shared the story of Sharon Grey, from Suffolk, who was “was forced to take matters into her own hands and turned to DIY dentistry after waiting for NHS treatment for over a year”.

She told the broadcaster, "I've filed them down with a metal file, I've superglued them back in and managed to superglue most of my mouth as well.

"I've used Fixodent to try and hold a bridge onto my teeth that doesn't work either. I think I must have covered most things by now.

"I've worked my whole life. I've paid my national insurance. I've worked for the NHS even, and I was left in this situation. I think its diabolical."
