Q. I dont know where to start. im 33 and my teeth are in very bad repair. A lot if the work carried out over the years has failed. My teeth seem to soft, No matter what I do, Brush 3 times a day, mauth wash, floss, nothing seems to help. I have developed a major fear of the dentist now, to the extent that when in the chair my chest tightens and have been known to cry. My 2 lovely boys 5 and 2 have to be taken to the dentist by my wife as I just cant face it. I know I have to go but I dont know how I can, Im 33 and my teeth of a 80 year, I dont smile, my gums are always sore. With the current was the world is, Im not sure I can afford anything. Just if I could weake up one morning and my teeth have been replaced I would be the happiest person alive. Its got to that point in my life that I dont want to laugh or even talk with people because of my teeth and the feeling of detures, well I guess thats all I have left to look forward to. Sorry going on to much but just had enough. thanks 

A. Contact your local Primary healthcare care trust (PCT ) Dental Contracts and ask if there are any NHS Dentists with IV sedation contracts. Then go along for an assesment which will cost £16.50 to find out if they can help you.
Good Luck
