A. If you are nervous ask friends for recommendations for local dentists. Also try your local PCT / NHS direct for a details of NHS Dental practices with a “sedation contract” Once you have been assessed you will know what work needs doing and then try options ( such as tablet sedation, IV sedation, “normal” treatment with added TLC etc etc)
