I have dental phobia but my teeth are falling out, please help!

Friday, August 6th, 2010
Q.
Hello, I’m unsure how to begin, but my teeth are not in good condition. Over the past years I’ve been suffering from depression due to bullying and stress, often because of my looks, down more to my teeth. In my youth I hated them, and did not care for them, and as such they have degraded, and now, simply, they are falling out. I have lost five so far, and recently one of my two front teeth broke and fell out. I’m 22, and am unsure what to do. I am not registered with an NHS dentist, and in all honesty due to visits as a teen I am terrified of dentists and having things put into my mouth. I know that if I do not do something soon, things are only going to get worse than they already are. I am reluctantly seeking out a local NHS dentist for an examination, already knowing that they will probably have a field day with me, but I’m wondering if you have any advice for me otherwise. I am at a loss, and any hep would be greatly appreciated.,

I’m terrified that I’ll loose all my teeth and I don’t want invasive surgery. What are my alternatives?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
I thought I had pretty good teeth, I am 53 and they are white and very good shaped. the Dentist said yesterday I have gum disease (deep kind at the bone) at back of both lower and upper. talking about gum surgery and other one hour sessions in the chair and lots of money I dont have. importantly I dont feel I can go through with the invasive side of this deep cleaning of root etc. Whats my alternative – would it cure me if I have them out – I just cant do this and I am terrified. I am manic about teeth and cant believe this has happened in 21/2yrs since all fine. whats the easiest way through it, general anaesthetic at dental hospital or have them out or what. Help!! Im sick with worry, how long have I got , will all my teeth fall out and how soon??????,
