Can sedation help me with my dental phobia?

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011
Q.

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,

I need a full smile makeover, and I wondered if you had any information concerning price and the general procedures involved?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi. I’ve had trouble with my teeth from a young age. A combination of factors has lead to this. Not brushing regularly as a child, eating too much sugary foods and a terrible fear of the dentist. I’ve had several back teeth taken out and now have metal fillings in most of the remaining teeth. Ideally I would like a complete smile makeover including veneers, White fillings and whitening procedure. I would like to know how best to go about getting this work done. I believe I need 9 White filling replacements 8 veneers. I live in northern Ireland and would like to know 1. How a dentist would go about this work and 2. A rough guide as to how much it would cost. Thanks,

I’m have a large fear of going to the dentist, but my teeth need sorting out. Is there anything that can help?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
I really don’t know how I can make the first step in getting my teeth sorted out. I’ve not been to a dentist for about 12 years and some of the front ones have areas of brown on them although none seem actually loose. They look so unsightly and I’m so ashamed of them as no one I know of my age (early 40s) has teeth that look like mine. What is the easiest first step I could make that would enable me to actually be able to set foot over the threshold of a dental surgery and overcome the fear I have of a first appointment? And secondly in very broad terms if someone hasn’t been to a clinic for so many years – how many appointments would I be likely to need to put things right. Thank you: even writing this email has been a huge step for me.,

Can you recommend a dentist in Manchester that can fix my broken teeth along with sedation?

Monday, August 16th, 2010
Q.
I had my 2 upper front teeth broken off in a fight a few years ago. I have several back teeth missing. and other teeth in a bad state of repair due to my emense fear of dentist. My smile is so bad now, discoloured jagged teeth ect I have decided that I can no longer go on. I have been lookin up different way of sorting my teeth out. I don’t really want false teeth if I can gelp it I have been looking at having reconstructive treatment or veneers on the upper teeth and having my bottom teeth whitened and filled where nessasary. Is there any other options that I could concider as to try and sort my teeth out. Can you also recommend a cosmentic dentest in the manchester area that can offer the type of service i need along with being able to sedate me.,
