Dentist problems...

So I was totally fine with the dentist, I even liked my visits, until a سال یا two پہلے when I went and they کہا I had receding gums. They کہا I would have to have surgery where they removed tissue from the سب, سب سے اوپر of my mouth and stitched it over where my gums should be and it would be a ماہ of liquid diet after the surgery. A MONTH. So I then became terrified of the dentist. I haven't gone since then (I'm pretty sure my mom just doesn't want to deal with it... and my problems have only gotten worse. I need braces, I have a chip on the back of one of my front teeth from where my lower teeth used to push against it, the gum receding has gotten worse, and now I just noticed that one of my teeth is a little loose... I have no مزید baby teeth. I'm TERRIFIED of the dentist... but I do need to go. Oh and as if that wasn't bad enough my dad is losing his job so now money is a factor too. I know I should talk to my mom about it but I just don't know how to even bring it up... should I even talk to her about it right now? Should I wait until my dad gets another job? I'm really scared of the dentist and I really don't want to go. Even talking about it freaks me out... I'm currently having a hard time breathing normally. What do I do? To be brutally honest I don't remotely take care of my teeth. My parents tend to be stressed and VERY grumpy and unpleasant سے طرف کی the time bedtime rolls around so I just want to run to my room ASAP and not come out... and I never do in the morning because after I do any food I eat doesn't taste right for at least 2 hours and I hate that. I know I really should, but I have a hard time staying on سب, سب سے اوپر of it. I just don't even know what to do.
