my teeth are stained a kind of yellow

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
Q.
Hi Ok i hate my smile, my teeth are stained a kind of yellow and i have cavities.My biggest fear in the world is the dentist everytime i go i have a panic attack and it makes the treatment more stressfull for me and the dentist. I wonder if you can help me, by having sleep dentistry is it possible for me to have fillings, teeth whitened etc all in one go whilst asleep? Then i feel that if i had a better smile then i would take proper care of my teeth. The problem is that im ony 16 can i still have treatment done at this age? and roughly how much would it cost? If you could let me know then it would be great, because having a new,nicer smile would give me the confidence that i need and you would be a lifesaver. x
