Q. My teeth are in a terrible state. I have lots of broken teeth and my gums have receded. I am scared of the dentists after having a bad experience when i was in my early 20s. I am now in a position were i will have to overcome my fear as i am desperate to get them sorted but i am unable to afford the treatment. Can i get full treatment on the NHS and is it possible to attend a NHS hospital rather than a general surgery? My self confidence is at an all time low.,
