Florist faces £25,000 dental reconstruction after years of phobia

A London florist, Lajos Csendes, 31, has sought dental treatment abroad after years of avoiding dentists due to severe phobia. He now has only his front and wisdom teeth left, with a £20,000-£25,000 bill for reconstruction. Csendes's dental issues worsened after a severe infection spread to his bloodstream in 2024. He found a specialist clinic in Hungary that caters to patients with dental phobias, where he felt more comfortable during treatment. The planned procedure will take about two-and-a-half years and involves significant dental and facial reconstruction. Csendes has started a GoFundMe to help cover the costs, hoping to regain his confidence and smile.
