Portrait of Gogo Nomsa

Mthatha, Eastern Cape · 74 years old

She has not eaten a solid meal in four years

Nomsa has cared for her three grandchildren since 2019. Her pension covers food, school transport and electricity, and nothing else.

Chronic infection has left her in constant pain and unable to chew. She lives on soft porridge and has lost significant weight over the past two years.

A full denture solution would restore her nutrition, her comfort and the dignity of sharing a meal with her family.

Treatment plan

  • Assessment and infection management
  • Staged extractions under sedation

  • Final complete dentures and fitting reviews

Assessed and delivered by: Partner practice, Mthatha. Funds are paid directly to the practice.
