Find a nice dentist: Unfortunately many adults are dental phobic and this fear keeps them from receiving necessary dental care. Some dentists "specialize" in treating dental phobic adults. You should be able to find one in your area on the web or in the phonebook. They can work with you to help manage your fear.

Replace teeth: First, you should make an appointment with a dentist just to find out what can be done. There is no pain or problem if he just looks and takes an x-ray to find out what the situation is. You can discuss your fears with him. You can also use hypnosis or see a therapist to help you deal with your fears. Check the internet to find a dentist who specializes in "fearful patients".

Several things: First, consider that by not going to the dentist, not only will you not be able to replace those missing teeth, but with neglect you will probably have a lot more dental problems and eventually lose other teeth. Consider a psychotherapist, hypnotist or a dentist that treats phobic patients and can sedate you if necessary. Many people just need to find a good dentist and take that 1st step.
