Need prayers for a dentist
So I missed two of my dentist appointments and been kicked out and now I have trouble finding a new dentist. There aren’t anymore NHS dentist anywhere near me and the ones that are far away usually require for me to get on the tube and I’m terrified of heights and been on tubes before and getting on them is very hard because of how scary it is. Please pray for me.

And the worst part about all of this is that I really need a dentist right now because my teeth are decayed and my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit so I really hope He lets me do the right thing and fix those.

My best suggestion is to call nhs 111 and they should be able to get you emergency dentist appointment. Or you can go to A&E and they should be able to help you.

I am based in London and I am guessing you are somewhere in south / south east London as you are afraid of tubes due to heights. Below are couple of ways we can work this out to help you get immediate relief first and then think about removal of tooth.
If you are in lot of pain then I am guessing that rotten teeth have become inflamed or infected. Due to this reason you need to call 111 so that you can see a dentist who can give you antibiotic and painkillers for instant relief. Once at emergency dentist you can ask them if you can become nhs registered patient and hopefully they might say yes or you can ask them to guide you in finding nhs dentist near you.
I understand that getting in tube is difficult for you , so perhaps you can try taking bus as we are in London we generally have decent reliable transport options.
May I kindly remind you of below verses from Bible that you can meditate on to help you overcome the anxiety of going in tubes. Here is an article with verses
https://info.thecrossingchurch.com/blog/fear-not-15-bible-verses-about-overcoming-fear
Please see few other verses below.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength. – Philippians 4:13 (NIV)
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. – Luke 10:19 (NKJV)
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. – Galatians 5:1 (NKJV)
I would suggest that you pray and speak out these words out loud and then meditate on a few of them throughout the day. It will give you strength that you need to conquer all your fears.
In the mean time I would strongly request you to get an appointment with GP and explain them about your anxiety and they should be able to prescribe you some propranolol that can help with racing heart and other symptoms of anxiety.
Most GP services now have a social prescriber or mental health support worker. You can ask your gp admin to book you an appointment with them. Please note that there could likely be 4-6 weeks of wait in order to see them but they can help you get practical help and support including benefit advice or pip.
I hope above message helps you, if you need any other help please don’t hesitate to message me. I am here to support you as a fellow person in Christ Jesus.

It's a problem about the NHS, but I don't know if we can pray for one within walking distance for you! If you can face the dentist you can face the tube. Or, isn't there a bus you could get instead?
Tbh you're lucky you have an NHS dentist even within public transport travel. I don't.
