Dear,

I am sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble with you teeth. You may find comfort in knowing that your situation is not uncommon and many people have a phobia of dentists.

The first step would be to book in with a dentist for a full examination. At this appointment the dentist will just talk with you and assess you mouth in order to give you a step-by-step treatment plan of work that is needed in order for everthing to be stable and healthy.

Once this is acheived the next step is then to assess what can be done cosmeticaly to make you proud to show off your teeth again.

I have seen many nervous patients over the years who once have taken the first step, always wish they had done it sooner. I am sure you will find the thought of the dentist is a lot more frightening than the actual reality of it.

Before booking an appointment I would research dentists that are particularly good with nervous patients or perhaps ask friend and family for a recommendation.

I hope this has been of help to you.

Good luck with taking the next steps and please do not hesitate to contact if you have any further questions.

Kind regards

Dr Justin Glaister
