Hi
I can understand how writing about this makes you feel. I treat a lot of very anxious patients in my practice. Sometimes by just taking out time and building your confidence we can reach the point where you are not afriad any more and of course soemtimes we do have to use sedation.
I think the best thing would be for you to come and see me for an initial ‘get to know each other’ meeting and we can maybe have a look at your dental situation and talk some options over initially. we couldthen also talk about the prospect of using sedation or other techniques to help allay your fears.
Have you considered hypnosis at all….Ihave some great recommendations
hope that helps and kind reagrds
