i have several broken teeth would dentist be prepared to treat me under sedation on the NHS
Q. I have asthma and I am also diabetic I have several broken teeth which I am concerned about as I work in a public facing job. Several of the teeth would need to be removed. As I gagg when I am at the dentist I have not been for sometime. Would a dentist be prepared to treat me under sedation on the NHS. Some people are saying due to the asthma I may have to be referred to the hospital? Please advise me on this matter as I do not know what to do.
A. If you wished sedation for treatment then you would have to see a dental surgeon who is qualified in carrying out iv sedation. Unfortunately there are not many surgeons who would carry this out on the NHS.

Im a 19 year old who is petrified of going to the dentist. the last time i went was in 2003. My mouth is in a pretty bad state, two of my teeth at the back are rotten(beyond repair in my opinion) some of my lower back teeth need fillings and im pretty sure i need a root canal as i am in pain. I am too embarrassed to speak to my parents about this and with limited funds. Finally, i would like to be sedated as much as i can as just the thought of the dentist starts to make me panic. what are the best options open to me?
