I have lost parts of my teethand have not been able to eat properly for years.I cant afford private treatment I have become very depressed and i dont know what to do.Please can you help me

A.

You may need to have sedation to help you cope with having treatment.  My best advice would be for you to ring your local dentists and ask if they or anyone else in your area can provide this service
