What can I do about my embarrassment about my teeth?

Q.
My family & cousin have booked me an appointment with a cosmetic dentist in London but I’m scared what they will say & how disgusted they will be, I’m 32 yr old man with past drug addiction heavy smoking oral hygiene the list goes on , I got 2 broken roots where gum grown over front chipped tooth & horribly stained for last 10 yrs I’ve been so depressed & I can’t talk to people or too embarrassed to let dentist see me because of what he will see, now my cousin sorted me appointment but will dentist have seen worst & be able to fix I don’t know if I got the guts to go even though it’s the only thing holding me back in life
A.
Most patients in your position think they will be the worst case the dentist would have seen but invariably they aren’t. Either way the dentist won’t judge you and will be wanted to see what he can do to get things back on track for you.
