My teeth are severly decayed but I hate going to the dentist, any advice?

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Q.

Hello

I’ve reached a stage of my life where my teeth are affecting all of my life, I’m far too scared about talking to anyone about this and I haven’t visited a dentist in about 6 years as I had a tooth extraction and I hated it.

I hate my teeth, I have to alter my smile so that people can’t see the tops of my teeth as some of them have cavities in the front of them, I recently lost a tooth and it’s now a black stub, 3-4 of my front teeth have decay between them that is noticable if I smile more than I should and if Im not eating or drinking I can sometimes taste the decay in my teeth, I hate it.

I dread meal times and scared of my girlfriend finding out, Im only 21 and this is ruining my life, I have no idea what to do

Should I get my tooth reshaped or have orthodontic treatment to improve my smile?

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011
Q.

Hi,
I was looking for a bit of advice. I live in Belfast and had braces when I was about 14. After getting the braces removed my teeth moved again back to a slight overbite and crookedness which I think might have been because of a lack of a retainer. I am 23 now and looking for a straighter smile. Would braces work for me with already having teeth removed for previous brace? Also I heard about teeth and gum reshaping and wondered if that would be beneficial to me. Basically I am a bit confused and wondering if an orthodontist is the way to go or is a tooth and gum reshaping option better. Thank you for any help you can provide
