Hi all
I've been a bit of a lurker on here for about 3 years.
I'm 36, a mum to an 8 year old. I've not been to the dentist for about 18 years..I know I know!! My back teeth are all rotten down to the gums and now one of my front ones had a hole in and now part of it has broken off ?? I'm in the UK and options are very limited.
I've signed up to an NHS dentist about 8 month ago buy can't see anyone till November 2022. I'm obviously terrified I'm going to lose this tooth and my partner to go with it.
My main issue now with dentists is embarrassment as my teeth are DISGUSTING!!
I don't actually know what to do, my dentist do a scheme called my options which is cheaper than going private or I may have to look at going private if all else fails.
I'm just such a panicked mess at the mo, I can't speak to my boyfriend boyfriend about it as it causes arguments so I think the only option is to get a loan out and get this sorted once and for all.
Anyone been through similar or have any magical words of support? I can't ring the de tist till next week as I'm at home on my own with my daughter being the school holidays ?
Thanks for reading xx
