Ashlee is terrified of the dentist and her teeth are literally rotting. A dentist told her that she'll have no teeth left by the time she's 30! Ashlee is a hairdresser and takes pride in her appearance but she cannot go to the dentist.
Ashlee was born with a calcium deficiency and when she was 8 all of teeth were removed. It was very traumatic time for her and she spent the night in hospital. Following that, she grew all new teeth and regularly went for check ups. When she was 14, she had a tooth removed and hasn't been back since. She's already missing five teeth, mainly at the back and side. Six months ago, she noticed a small hole in her front tooth, she's now terrified that it will fall out. Ashlee can no longer eat with her back teeth, she has to chew with her front teeth. Ashlee has lost almost two stone, she rarely eats as it's too painful. Her partner, Chris says that Ashlee was once the life and soul of the party but now she hides in the background as she's conscious of her teeth. He says she's constantly covering her mouth and no longer enjoys a night out. Chris would love to propose to Ashlee, but she won't get married while her teeth are like this....
In family mediation, Ashlee's fiance and her mother tell her how concerned they're about her as she's unable to eat solid food.
In Therapy, The Speakmans discover that Ashlee was born with a calcium deficiency and when she was 8 she lost all her teeth, she had to say in hospital over night and went through a very traumatic time.
Can The Speakmans help Ashlee over come her fear of the dentist? Will Ashlee be able to get the Hollywood smile she's always dreamed of?
