Friday, November 26th, 2010How can I overcome my fear of the dentist and seek treatment for my broken/rotten teeth?
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010Q.
Hi i have the biggest fear of seeing a dentist. I have had a fear since childhood and the fear has now caused me to have rotten, broken and loss of teeth, I am only 31 and suffer a lot of pain at times but am too embarrassed to see a dentist. I avoid smiling as my teeth don’t do any justice to me. I have no confidence and at times I’m in so much pain i can’t focus on other things due to lack of sleep. Please help!!!

How can I find a NHS dentist that will help me with my dental phobia?
Thursday, November 18th, 2010Q.
I am 36 and not been to the dentist since i was 13 and had a bad experience over the last 16 years i have really needed to go but been in a controlling relationship and wasnt able to go even if i wanted to luckily he was sent to prison for 6 years just over a year ago now. Since then although i have a really bad phobia i have had to try and force myself to take my 2 kids to a dentist as my phobia and inability to go has caused them needing dental work.Although i have actually managed to walk through the door it is a very uncomfortable feeling and i can not be in the room when they have work done i am just glad my 2 teenagers are braver than me its them seeing if im ok on the way home instead of me being there for them . I need to try and get myself to a dentist but all the ones i come across have just made it even harder for me to see someone.They dont know my history so assume it is just a case of cant be bothered .I know i need all my teeth out as the ones that are left are stumps or rotten and after being basicaly locked in a house fo the last 10 years i also have problems with agrephobia where i find it difficult to actually walk out the house it doesnt make things any easier when i have visable rotten and missing teeth when i talk.I have tried emailing a few places in my local area but to be refered to anywhere that treats phobias and does this sort of work under sedation i am told i will need to be refered by a dentist..if i could find a dentist i was happy with and who understood my fears then i wouldnt be in this situation. I dont know if you work with nhs patients but if you do i would really appreciate some useful advice before i end up a total recluse.

I have a two cracked teeth after being hit in the face over a year ago, but I am scared to the dentist. Can you help me?
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010Q.
I have a really big fear of the dentist, this fear has meant I haven’t been since I was abour 10, I am now 22 and my teeth are really bad, They are crooked at the front and are uneven throughout my mouth. I got hit in the mouth a year and a half ago on the left side of my jaw, I was in severe pain and could not open my mouth and felt that my bottom left back tooth had been knocked out of place, this tooth is now rotting away and cracked badly, the pain is so bad I am taking 24 nurofen a day just to ease the pain abit. The top tooth where I got hit has also started to crack, I can not afford a dentist though and I recieve no benefits. I am hoping to get married next year and I want the confidence to be able to smile in my pictures instead of “Pouting” all the time, please help me, what can I do?,
