Are you sedated during implant surgery?

Monday, October 24th, 2011
Q.

hi there My mum really wants an implant on her front bottom tooth but is really nervous in going through with it. Could you reassure her what pain or discomfort she would go through during the process, and how many injections they will put in, and is she allowed valliam for the surgery she is 75 years old. Also how many times would she have to go back. She is already got a dentist in mind but can you recommend details of any one who is good with simpathizing with her nervousness including yourself. Hope you can help Thankyou

Does inhalation sedation wear off quicker than IV sedation?

Monday, September 26th, 2011
Q.

Could you please advise me on the following problem; I normally get sedated (intravenous with valium) for my dental treatments as I have a choking phobia, anxiety, strong gag reflex and very sensitive teeth, but now I have no-one who can go with me as my friend who usually takes me is currently housebound. There is no-one else who can take me. I have mild toothache now, are there any other methods of sedation or similar that would enable me to get treatment but without the need for someone to accompany me? Is it possible to be sedated at a dental hospital (I live in Glasgow) and stay in a waiting room for a few hours until the effects of intravenous sedation wear off? Would inhalation sedation be an option? Does it make you as drowsy as intravenous sedation or would I still be fully conscious with inhalation sedation? Please help, Thanks

Can IV sedation be used during tooth extractions?

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011
Q.

Can you extract teeth whilst I am IV sedated. I have not been to the dentist for 30 years and hate my teeth and just want them out and replaced by false ones. Please help me. I had a terrible experience as a child and I now cannot even consider goimng to a surgery if it means poking around in my mouth and injections for extractions later on. My upper right wisdom tooth is hurting and 3 of my upper fromt teeth have bits missing from decay. All my teeth apart from my incisors have hurt me at some time in the past but this lastest ache is becoming intolerable

What can I do about my horrible teeth?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

Just a message as I am stuck with what to do and where to turn ..
I am 22 years old, and I can safely say that I highly doubt you’ve seen teeth as bad as mine, 97 year old’s probably have better teeth. As a result I have no confidence and avoid talking to people, I rarely smile and it gets me down on a daily basis.

Due to a sever phobia of dentists, I haven’t been to one since I was a young child, as a direct result my teeth have suffered. To add to this, through most of high school I suffered with bulimia. I have lost the majority of my back teeth, and have two very broken molars. I also have a gap between my two front teeth. I’ve never really looked into getting them fixed due to the high costs. I’m not sure where to go or what to do, but I do realise as I am only 22 that my mouth can only get worse, therefore I need to act. I’m just not sure how I’m going to cover the costs, some advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

What are the best invisible braces?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hi Rob

My situation is that i have pretty awful teeth due to growing up scared due to the way they look…and still I dont like the idea of having the classic metal visible braces. If it was up to me I would get some sort of surgery even if it means not having my original teeth but my girlfriend just won’t allow that to happen. So i’m looking for a quick cheap and non visible way of straightening my teeth…but arnt we all?

I am aware of invisalign but I hear the worse shape your teeth are in then the more it will cost so in my case that will means 5k+

Regards

I am nervous of the dentist but need treatment for my stained teeth and wisdom teeth removal

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I haven’t been happy with my teeth for a long time and its getting me down, my wisdom teeth are coming through and are sore but when I went to the dentists I fainted so I’m too scared to return. My front tooth is stained more then the rest so I’m guessing its rotting? And they have ridges on the bottom? Like a babys tooth. I would LOVE to get them all ripped out and have fresh, healthy teeth put in! Please help me I’m 23 and very upset with my smile.
