I haven't been to the dentist for several years, my teeth look awful. One of my canines cracked and has now decayed to near nothingness and what is left is discoloured. On the other side I have a tooth coming out of the top of my gum which is gradually pushing a gap in between my other teeth. I'm pretty sure the rest of my teeth aren't in fantastic shape as I do get a bit of pain from time to time. I'm absolutely terrified of going to the dentist, but I really want to get my teeth looking more reasonable because I'm sick of being scared to smile, I feel like people are going to be disgusted if I open my mouth. I'm nineteen years old and I feel so uncomfortable like this, all of my friends have normal, if not perfect, teeth.
I'm even more terrified of being sedated so would want everything done under local anaesthetic but I'm concerned that the tooth coming from my gum would have to be done under general. I'm far too scared to even book an appointment and don't really know where to go. I'm just looking for a bit of support/advice and wondering what sort of procedures would be required to fix these problems?
Thank you.
