One woman in her 30s, Boyka, told the researchers: “We don’t have a dentist. It’s crazy. For us, it’s, like, impossible! In Ukraine the dentist industry is huge, you know, everywhere, and because it’s everywhere you just go and it’s like £10, £8, and you can clean it, whiten it like [a] Hollywood smile!
Some British families who have taken in Ukrainian refugees have noted that their guests organise dental appointments during their visits home.

Her teeth were basically “free floating” with a thin bridge holding them together as the fake bone was hardening.
She described it as basically sand being poured in and activated to solidify.
Wild stuff, it was done at the cost of the materials used and still cost thousands.
Moral of the story? Make friends with a dentist who will operate on you after hours for free.
