A. Start by forcing yourself to visit 3 different practices that seem friendly to anxious patients.  You can be adamant that you only want an opinion not treatment. ( check prices for assesment before you go )
One of them will feel better and more in tune with you. Then start with some simple treatment to boost your confidence.

I have only 8 teeth on the top.I think 3 need coming out,i am really scared of having treatment,what would the best to have done.Thank you

A. If it is the loss of teeth your frightened of then you might wish to consider replacement of the teth with immedaite implants as these will feel the most natural.
If it is the actual extractions then you could consider sedation to help you relax during treatment.

I have severe gum recession and three front teeth that are loosening,one quite severely.I really find the idea of false teeth repulsive and am really worried.Is there a solution that does not involve having dentures please.Thankyou

A. The best solution is dental implants this will give you back teeth that are permanently fixed in .  You need to get a full assessment done with a cosmetic dentist that does implants.  Your bone levels will also have to be assessed.

Hello im due to have my tooth taken out witch id rather have it capped but how much would it cost to cap a tooth its the front and to the left at the top

A. it depends on what is wrong with the tooth. If it needs root treatment and a post before crowning the cost may double. anything from 350 to 1000. you need to know what the chance of success is if you do the work. Rob

Also i have had a root canal on the other side of the same tooth (left side), now i need one on my right side!

A. The abscess underneath your tooth can loosen your tooth due to swelling around the tooth.  Following root treatment this should disappear and the tooth firm up
