This is going to be a long story so please bear with me. I been looking on here for about a week now and its been fabulous. So here my story. I am 35 and so scared to go to the dentist cause my teeth are so bad. Well the ones that have not broke off or come out. So I was in a very controlled relationship for many years. Never had money or go anywhere on my own. So going to the dentist was never on the cards. When I did manage to leave him I fell into very bad depression for years. My teeth was the last thing on my mind. Then I lost my dad in very bad circumstances which made my depression even worse. Then in 2018 I managed to over come my fear and see the dentist. Had bit of work done and felt so much better but then bang my depression came back and hit me even harder then before. To the point where I would just sleep and not leave the house. So my health and teeth was the last thing on my mind. Just making it though the day was all I cared about. Now roll on to today. My depression is under control and feel now is the time to sort my teeth out. Part of my depression is because of my teeth. So to carry on I need to sort them. Only thing is I am so scared to sit in that chair and open my mouth cause I know they are beyond help and will need them all out on the top. My bottom are ok but not great. I just want to smile again and carry on getting my life back. Now in the UK there is no nhs dentist so rang a private dentist. I have to pay £60 just to go for my 1st appointment. I dont mind paying this but it scare me that all the work I will need done will cost a fortune and I only work part time. Just don't think I will open my mouth cause I am scared of what the dentist will say. I over think things if you couldn't tell already. I know deep down I need to do this to carry on getting better and get out my depression but it fills me with fear. Thanks for reading any help would be great
