teeth

I have severely neglected my teeth :( and i am also scared of the dentist :( even more so now i know they such a mess and will get given in trouble :(

My teeth are really getting me down :( so much so i dont like going out with friends any more :(

my teeth are falling to bits, gums bleed and one of my back teeth has acctually fallen out :( there is still part of the tooth imbedded in the gum and is now causing so much pain i can hardly sleep at night and am constantly taking co codamol.

i also have the issue i cant seeem to find a dentist to register with and also i cant really afford to get them fixed.

i have known for years that i should just go but scared, but know the problem just getting worse :(

i really dont know what to do any advice would be appreciated

Thank you

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
This is a problem you cannot treat at home. Try and find a dentist. Meanwhile take an OTC pain killer and use a dental toothpaste (2-3 times a day) that will numb your nerve endings and decrease the pain. This cannot be done for long and hence consult a dentist as soon as you can. Hope this helps. Take care!

I agree with cheshchesh891 my husband neglected his teeth too, due to the fact that when he was younger her had a bad experience in a dentist and he never went near a dentist from a child.Now he is getting his teeth sorted through the hospital and yes they are very nice and help you to relax before they even go near you. They want you to trust them not be afraid of them. When i was a child i had to go to the hospital aswell to get my teeth sorted, i had to get a second top row of teeth removed and then after that get braces.But when i look in the mirror now it was worth all the pain and waiting at the time. I have a lovely smile to be proud of. If you want that lovely smile you once had back, you would be willing to get it sorted. Believe me it will be worth it.
