my teeth a badly decayed and i have a fear of the dentist

Q. I dont have a dentist at the moment, but hope to in a couple of weeks. My teeth are very badly decayed and i suspect some need to be removed. I wanted to know if i can go to a cosmetic dentist to have all the work done and if they would do it with my teeth in such a bad way. I do have a fear of the dentist since i was a child that is why my teeth are in such a bad way. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Hannah. P.S can you recommend a practice. I dont have that much money to spend on it and also would my normal dentist that i am about to register with do the same work (i.e remove teeth and implant etc).

A. Dear H,

My best advice would be to ask the dentist you are going to see these questions directly. They will be able to tell you the type of work they can undertake and refer you appropriately if required for other treatment. If they are able to show you pictures of their previous work this would be a good indication for you as to whether you feel they can restore your teeth to the standard that you are looking for.

Kindest regards
