Q. Hello, I know this may be a long shot, but I hope that you maybe able to help. I’m stuck in a position and not sure what to do, as I suffer from Depression/anxiety panic attacks I have a fear of going to the dentist. I never had a problem going to the dentist until I was 16 (1996)when I changed dentist, I was having treatment and was in pain but the dentist wasn’t polite with me. I didn’t go again till 2000, but in a different area, and again I came across the same problem. My teeth are in bad shape, the look cleanish, but I know they they are all bad. I was wondering if you could give me any advice on what to do. I am unemployed and claiming incapacity benefit, which I know that I will have to pay for consultation/treatment. Which I would need help with or a payment plan?? I would like my teeth sorted badly, but am afraid of dentist and find it difficult to find an understanding one. I live in Haslington in Cheshire. If you could help me in advice or anything, this would be very much appreciated. Many thanks
