I have broken teeth swollen gums and very bad breath

Q. Hi Don’t know if you can help me but I literally am at my very last resort I am 27 and since having a really bad experience as a child my teeth are ok to look at but I have broken teeth my gums are bright red and all lumpy, if I tilt my head down I can see down my gums. I have terrible BAD BREATH which has caused me a lot of personal problems my partner and father of my daughter has left, I stopped going out with friends I have completely shut myself off from everyone I cant speak to customers face to face at work due to the smell I am becoming very lonely and stuck. I honestly and genuinely have bad thoughts of not living I cant see a way out I have been my dentist it took me all my time getting there as I am so scared. I am desperate for some one to help me as my 6 year old daughter dosent like to give me a kiss which breaks my heart I am single but wont meet anyone with a mouth like this. My family make nasty comments about my breath and teeth. Even standing in sopping lines and someone talks to me I have to pretend I haven’t heard them and I am very friendly and feel awful for doing this. I am so worried about this as I can not afford dental plans although I work I am also a single parent I just cant do it and I don’t know what to do I am so scared at the fact I think of worse things to solve this problem can someone help me please. Many Thanks 

A. Hi , listen sometimes things are not as bad as they seem, firstly it sounds as if because you have neglected your gums, you have lots of plaque and calculus fermenting around the gums causing the bad smell, the gum condition and hence the bad breathe can be dealt with very easily by seeing a hygienist on maybe a few occasions and improve your oral hygiene rountine at home, the cost of this treatment dependant on where you go should be no more than a couple of hundred pounds.

as for the rest of the teeth, once the bad breath and gums are sorted out a good dentist will advise you of the options available to improve your teeth and with relevent budgets. there is also interest free credit so if you do have a monthly budget in mind lets say £100 then the dentist may be able to work to your monthly budget. if you email back with where you live i would be if i can happy to recommend a local dentist for you.
