I am 23 years old my teeth have started rotting

Q. I am 23 years old. I have had 3 children, and during my pregnancies my teeth started rotting, so me being pregnant, thinking I could not help. I did not go. I stopped brushing my teeth for awhile because they would hurt, my gums would be very tender and bleed (they still do). I try to brush my teeth now and I still have the same problem. I have a lot of holes, a missing k-9 tooth, a couple of rotting wisdom teeth, missing moullers. It hurts sometimes no matter what I eat. It seems as though when I chew my teeth are going to just break. I’m so afraid of losing my teeth but I’m afraid of pain and I don’t like to hear my teeth being pulled out, that sounds awful. I know I should go see a dentist and I really want to, but money is always an issue. My credit is awful but I need help so bad. My mouth is falling apart and I’m so sad about this that it almost makes me feel depressed and I don’t like to smile or even open my mouth. I don’t even like to kiss anymore!! šŸ™ please help do I still have a chance?

A. If your youngest child is less than 1 year old you automatically get free NHS dental treatment. If your child is over 1 year you may still get free treatment on income / benefit grounds. To find an NHS dentist consult NHS direct by phone or internet, if you do pay charges the most it can be for a full course of treatment is £198.
It is important that you continue to make the moves back to getting your teeth / smile / confidence back.  Don’t give up or ignore it.

Hi, I was just wondering if my front teeth can be filed down as they have chipped slightly. I am not at all happy with the appearance of my teeth. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank You
