Im a 19 year old who is petrified of going to the dentist. the last time i went was in 2003. My mouth is in a pretty bad state, two of my teeth at the back are rotten(beyond repair in my opinion) some of my lower back teeth need fillings and im pretty sure i need a root canal as i am in pain. I am too embarrassed to speak to my parents about this and with limited funds. Finally, i would like to be sedated as much as i can as just the thought of the dentist starts to make me panic. what are the best options open to me?

On NHS band 2 is £49 on nhs for wisdom tooth removal, would sedation be covered on this cost? or would I have to pay extra for the sedation at the clinic?

hi, i am a 26 year old male with quite bad teeth, they are yellow and my 2 front teeth have started rotting at the top. i haven’t been to the dentist in years as my last visit was a horrible one. i’m in need of advice on how bad they are and what options i have available from this point on. i have quite big money problems as far as paying for improvement is concerned, so im kinda looking for some free advice

It sounds like you may qualify for NHS treatment so try to find a local dentist who can help you out.

have bad dental hygene and have not had a dentist since i was around 10 years of age, im terrified of going to see one but i know i need to get my teeth sorted as i have tooth ache that bad that i havent slept for 3 days is there any sort of payment plans as i am not a nhs customer and will struggle to pay for everything doing, i am also scared that the dintist will judge me and give me a grilling for not taking care of my teeth. can dentisit put me to sleep to do work on me?

A good dentist won’t judge you so ask your friends for a recommendation. you may want to find one that offers sedation to help you through the more complex appointments. Payment plans vary so speak to the dentist before to see what they offer.
