Q.
I have had a severe fear of the dentist after having a terrible experience around 10 years ago. Unfortunately in this time my teeth have gotten in to very bad condition, which I am really embarrassed about. After my front crown got caught at a dancing competition and broke, I decided I needed to take action and so I visited the local dentist. He devised a plan for me and I am currently on the waiting list to have the necessary teeth removed at the hospital and then all the fillings and treatment I need completing. I was however horrified with his advice to have my two front crowns replaced with dentures. I am 25 years old and devastated with this suggestion! There are crowns on my two front teeth at the moment(granted one is cracked) and I am in no pain. If I pay privately can I choose to have the crowns replaced? I understand that ultimately the dentists advice may be correct, however, I at least want to try! I would really appreciate your help, as I am so upset! Thank you in advance!
