Okay so I am 18 and I haven't been to the dentist in like 10 years. My teeth have always been in fine condition but i recently damaged one of my teeth and it has cracked meaning i neeed to book myself in for an appointment.
I am terrified though because I have always feared the dentist and now even more as I am scared as to what they will think of my teeth ect.
Can i talk to my dentist about this before I book in so they understand how I feel...

I'll go through the NHS so anybody in the U,K who can advise me would be very helpful..

thanks alot 'George' you have totally put me off going. I have have bad experiences with my dentist as a child which i'd rather not go into. I am very proud of myself for picking up the courage to try and book myself an appointment.. I know from family and friends that dentists can be very sympathetic but advice on here will give some extra reassurance.
