I don’t want dental phobia to ruin my smile. Can you recommend a dentist?

Thursday, September 16th, 2010
Q.
I have always had a phobia about dentists but have managed it for the past 20 years however after a recent bout of depression am now absolutley terrified.I have recently plucked up the courage to go the the hygienist as I know how important it is and have not been as good at looking after my gums (have had problems with them for years) to get back on track, I have lots of crowns and really try hard to look after them as best I can. I was left with the impression I will eventually loose all my teeth to gum disease which I know i have to come to terms. However I am willing to do what it takes to keep them for as long as I can. I would really like to find a dentist I can trust bit dont know where to start looking. I live in Stamford Lincolnshire, but would be willing to travel to the right dentist. Do you know where I could begin to start looking for one? I dont know many people in the area so asking around is not really an option. I would be very grateful if you could help, also am thinking of getting some private insurance but dont know where to start!! Sorry this is long winded would be grateful for any advice. Thank you,
