Hi everyone , new to this forum... 

As my title says I am very ashamed about condition of my teeth, the front top and bottom are passable but not perfect but the sides are a mess, missing fillings and some ragged edges , teeth with only a worn shell
I have been having pain and it seems to be nerve pain , usually sensitive to hot and cold drinks , mouthwash etc, it makes my gum lines ache
I am a 49 year old woman who hasnt been to the dentist in around 6 years, mainly due to being so embarrased of my teeth to visit any. I also had a very bad experience many years ago when a dentist had numbed my tooth with several injections into the gum area only for me to hit the roof as the nerve wasnt numb when he touched it with an instrument..
Needless to say I didnt go back..
Now I feel I must make an effort to get some work done, what I do not know , extraction may be the best option for a few ..
Where can I go in my home town or nearabouts , I am in Kirkintilloch, Scotland..
I need a very very understanding dentist who wont criticize me to badly.............
I can afford a loan to pay if need be as I know the state of the NHS dentists..
Can anyone advise me what to do next.
Thanks
