Following many years with absoutely no problems with my teeth, I had a really bad experience about 6/7 years ago (a dry socket and infection) and have not been to the dentist since. I am absolutely terrified of even making an appointment, and have emailed around and searched locally, but cannot find anyone who is willing to help me. I am now in pain with a broken back tooth, and a filled tooth which hurts (I suspect the filling needs redoing), and I am at a loss as to know what to do. Add to that a real lack of confidence concerning my teeth which are now quite yellow due to the enamel eroding away, and a lack of funds to pay privately, and I wonder if I am a hopeless case. I am 61 years old, and feel really depressed, I would be grateful for any support or advice. I live in Bournemouth, and there don't seem to be any sympathetic dentists anywhere locally.
