I have a dentist fear of the dentistry tools and of the actual dentist and I hate needles. This has grown and only appeared a few years ago after having teeth whitening and it was with a dentist that let me suffer sensitivity whilst me telling them it was hurting my teeth an dthem choosing to ignore it I suffered terribly sensitivty and as a consqeunce mistrust in the dentisand therefore I always change dentists for things. I opt for iv sedation which doesnt do anything until I m ready or treatment but it is hard enough to get through the doors of the surgery. I need a hygieiniest clean and two teeth removed as a checkup said and Ii may need a filling. ? Can I also be sedated and get all of that done? Can I be sedated before I go in? The thought of seeing a dentist in a dentist room is beyond petrifying I wouldnt mind if the dentist came to my work. Is that possible at least I feel marginally in control. Many thanks, 

please can you recommend the best nhs dentist for sedation in birmingham thank you. I am petrified off the chair had a filling and the dentist trapped my nerve i went through 24 hours of excruciating pain that was the last nail in the coffin so to speak i need extensive work done i amonly 30 and cant laugh smile or even talk property i would really appreciate some expert advice thank you. i have a broken loose crown at the front next to it a moulded temp tooth 4 caps only 1 left on others exposed need help

After having Liver Disease for 22 years, followed by a transplant, by teeth are literally wasting away. My old liver used to prevent me from having enough Vit D and calcium. What can I do. I have got an enormous phobia of anything to do with dentists, All the edges of my teeth have worn away and I have got several decayed teeth. I do sometimes get bad pain. I wish that I could smile but my teeth are so horrible. I am frightened about what all the treatment would cost, as I am 58 but not yet working after my transplant. I am also very stressed just thinking about what might need to be done.

I have a top jaw tooth that has left the gum and is loose also the next tooth to it is a crown on a pin is also loose but not as much movement as the big tooth I took many years to get over my childhood fears of a dentist and have for a long time gone for checkups and hygenist visits twice a year. My dentist has said I would need a roof ingection for the extraction. I would like to know if there is any other way these teeth can be removed as I still remember the pain of this injection for another tooth a few years ago, and can not convince myself it will be different this time. hoping for some advice how to cope with this i.e. could I have a general I am 63 years old, and on blood pressure tablets.

Hi i am a very nervous patient when it comes to dentists, when i was 15 i had a really bad extraction that has scared me off dentists tottaly, im now 24 and need some major work in the form of crowns, fillings and proberly another extraction or two, and i guess i would need all that done before i could even think of getting lumineers to then cover it all up? just writeing down all the dental work turns my stomach, would a dentist condider doing the majority if not all the work i need in one visit under sedation?

ive been having treatment at dentist lately first in 8 years.
it was my 3 rd session and when she injected me several times for 1 filling, 1 extraction. and skalling i took an intense pain at back of my head and treatment had to be stopped i took painkiller some cold compress to help but felt very ill and my palour was terrible im now so frightened to go back can you advise please. this was my third visit and although i was scared and very uncomfortable on previous visits i didnt experience this terrible acute pain she says she will now only do one treatment at time it seamed to be the injections as there was so many and painful do i need to go through this horrible time to get my teeth sorted. im afraid to go back. please advise [female]

Doctor,
I came here as a last resort for some advice. Im a 23 yr old mother of two and I hide in my house everyday. I’ve always brushed my teeth 2 to 3 times a day but bad teeth runs in my family though the women. My grandma lost her teeth in her 30′s and my mother’s teeth are rotting, black and just not appealing. My teeth are following down that path. They are so terrible that i dont even leave my house. Every month another piece of tooth just falls out of my mouth leaving broken teeth everywhere. Alot of my problems are in the front and you can see why that causes me not just a great deal of embarrasment but also pain! pain everyday. I saved up for weeks to make a denist appt. to see what i would have to do. Let’s just say that was a nightmare, there is no way i can affort to get my teeth fixed, or even get vaneers like i would like. i fear that i will loose all of my teeth in the coming years and i will be in dentures before i hit 30. All of the horrors i read about aging quickly after you get dentures terrify me. There has to be something i can do, some way i cant afford to get something done. My question to you is, what do i do if i cant afford it?.. is my best option waiting until all of my teeth fall out to get dentures?
Do you know someone who helps out people like me? Please help my dream of being able to smile again.. take my daughters out without having to hide my face.
Please help me, 

hello there Dr andrew Moore i would like your professional opinion please , I have very bad tooth decay, every tooth on my upper gum has it literally only one has not got it and its starting to show early stages of tooth decay, but my bottom teeth are fine at the moment. i really need to see a dentist  urgently as I haven’t seen one for over 3 years now due to being scared , I have bad dental phobia , once I’ve been to the dentist what would they do to fix my teeth? and how much would this cost?
Would they give me implants, or false teeth, or just leave me without any teeth, and is it possible to take gas and air to put you to sleep whilst they do it all?

Thanks C

Hello Dr Hughes. After eight months i am still unable to get used to my upper dentures. I also still need my bottom ones done. I am feeling pressure from my dentist to have the bottom set done even though i am finding i can not cope with my top set. I have lost two stone in weight and now have a new found fear of food. The best he has offered me is denture implants for my top set at a price of £3.500 but i really can not afford this, however i feel i really can not go on with these dentures, and the thought of having to have my bottom set removed petrifies me as i suffer from what you call dental phobia .. to what is an extreme level. My life is ‘hell’ so is there really no chance of help on the NHS?

Hello Dr Hughes, Where can i purchase clip on teeth or a clip on smile as seen on an american advert that you can do at home without going to a dentist.You attach them to your own teeth, if you have missing teeth,you put them in hot water to soften then add some kind of jel attatch to teeth.I need them desperatly as i have lost two bottom teeth and am terrified of going to the dentist. Can you tell me where i might purchase these and possibly how much they would cost thank you for your help.
