Clicking teeth - panicking they’re going to fall out

I’m worried about my teeth . I’ve not always looked after them well after a horrendous depression and I haven’t been near a dentist for a few years following a sexual assault .

They’re all still in my mouth, I’ve been brushing them regularly for at least six months now but the top canine on the left is clicking a bit ... and I’ve lost half my back molar . Filling in that tooth is now shifting a lot .

I was told before that the back molar was at risk anyway due to Wisdom tooth cracking it from behind - but I’m worried more about my front tooth, I don’t want it to fall out suddenly .

I grit my teeth a lot, which must make it worse but I’m terrified I’m going to lose my teeth and end up uglier than I already am .

I don’t have a dentist, and nowhere near a dental hub, so doubt very much I’ll get treatment just now - what should I do meantime? I know it’s all my own fault .

If I were you I’d try to get myself registered somewhere. They may not be able to see you for a while but I’m not sure there is anything else you can do in the meantime anyway if it is not an emergency.

I will do, there’s a dentist nearby but they’re only providing emergency care . I suppose this isn’t an emergency unless God forbid the tooth comes out . Hopefully not . I’m deliberately trying not to bite down on it now !
