I bloody hate my teeth. Since not going to the dentist for the past 2 years because of covid they have deteriorated a lot. I always went 2 times a year for polish and any work I just don't get how they have got this bad over 2 years. I have 2 front fillings which are now disgustingly black because my dentist are still not doing appts. Local dental hospital are overbooked so I can't get one there. My front 4 teeth look terrible at the gum line because of the fillings/decay my lower front teeth have bad tartar build up at the backs. I brush twice a day and use mouthwash. I don't get how mine look like I'm a smack head and I'm frustrated I can't been seen by a dentist. I think I'm about to loose the balls to go when they can finally see me. I can't even smile anymore just looks disgusting

No advice but I hate my teeth too. They look okay after a bit of work but they are pretty grim underneath and are the bane of my life. I've always got pain somewhere, seem prone to gum disease no matter how well I think I'm flossing and end up paying a fortune in dentists and hygienists just to try keep them in my mouth. If I wasn't 35 I'd get them all out and have implants!

Im terrified of the dentist so always make excuses not to go, it was being on chemo, then covid. Im getting toothache now when I drink something sugary so Ill have to go, but I usually have sedation and dont know if they will do this still. The chemo has had a bad effect on them I feel.
