I haven’t been to the dentist for over ten years

My fear of the dentist is that bad I haven’t been in about 10 years my teeth are beyond repair and am that embarrassed that I can’t even go to the doctors. It is seriously affecting my life and I don’t know what to do.

Im sorry that you are having such a bad time .
Firstly if you havent been for 10 years are you sure that your teeth are beyond repair?
If that is the case , then you might be looking at getting all the rest of your teeth out and getting some dentures .
Once a dentist has looked at you , then a plan can be devised how and where that can be done , There are places that can give you IV sedation , or refer to a hospital to be asleep .
There are Clinical Dental Technicians who make false teeth directly to the public legally , once your teeth have gone , or sometimes the teeth can be placed as soon as the teeth are removed .
Ive done this both ways recently for two clients and they have not regretted getting rid of the teeth that they hate and are causing such grief
Hope this helps
Jenny
