Q. i have got to go under sedation and worried about it, how could i get out of this phobia of being sedated its sounds worrying knowing that ill still be awake during this.
A. Sedation is an excellent and safe technique for nervous patients, although you’re still ‘awake’ you wpn’t be aware of what is going on around you. Perhaps you should ask your dentist for some more advice regarding the procedure.

Q. over the last few years i have had endless fillings and 4 extractions. my dentist told me i may have rapid caries. currently 14 of my teeth are filled, with one from each side top and bottom missing, all 4 wisdom teeth are ruptured and are growing in awkward shapes and hurt the inside of my mouth and cheeks. i’m only 22 and feel my teeth are so unsightly i am ashamed to smile. i try my best to take care of them but when problems continue to arise it really knocks my confidence. i’m considering cosmetic treatment but don’t know where to start and i’m a very nervous patient so feel fear talking to dentists about procedures. i just wish i could start over with my teeth but understand thats just not possible. i am writing really just to see what treatments are available and what costs i will need to pay. thanks for taking the time to read my question and i look forward to hearing from you.
A. Hello, the options for you are endless depending on what you would like to acheive and the budget you have. You may also want to consider sedation for the longer procedures to help with your anxiety. If you’d like me to take a look I can offer you a free consultation to give you a better idea of your options. Please call the clinic on 01245 268 494

A. Hello, It will be very dificult to find someone to do this for you but you could try Ashok Sethi in Harley Street as he has access to Hospital services at a nearby medical centre. You could also try sedation which is cheaper safer and more readliy available

Q. I have an abnormal physcological fear of dentists which is a result of a face slap by a dentist when I was a child (he pushed a sore tooth with his finger and I bit his finger) The last time I visited a dentist was 1972 they pumped me full of “happy gas” to try and get me to relax, I burned it up quicker than they could pump it in. When I get hurt I become violent, subsequently I have to be put under with a general anesthetic. My teeth need to be sorted out and some implants out in for ones that are missing and others that will have to be removed, but feel it would have to be done under proper hospital op conditions Is this possible please.
A. Hi, there are other options, certainly you might be able to have treatment under general anaesthetic at a hospital. In my clinic we treat so many nervous patients who have had similar problems to you. You need to find a dentist you can trust. in my practice we use IV sedation but we also use a medical anaesthist you can combine a number of drugs to relax you. I find this works very well.

Q. Hi, It was a few years ago i noticed black dots on my teeth, i’ve since been to the dentist every 6 months apart from in the last year. She has always said there is nothing to worry about, but now i havent been to see the dentist in a while i have noticed they are gradually getting larger and on one of my teeth there is a second smaller black dot(the black dots are situated on the back two teeth on the bottom on either side, 4 in total)I have a phobia of any dental surgery. I had 2 teeth removed when i was 8/9yo under gas because of it and have was wondering is this decay also if it is are there any treatment which i would be put tosleep for the procedure?
A. It is very likely that the black dot is just stain in the pits an fissures of the teeth. Ask your dentist to x-ray them that way you will be able to tell if the dots are decay or just stain. You could have them filled if needed with sedation although the fillings will probably be very small.

Q. I’ve just had a filling – there was decay under an existing filling (spotted via X-Ray) and some of the original filling had to be removed to remove the decay underneath and then place new filling on top. It has been 18 hours since the filling and I am still very sore. Is this normal? It’s 4am in the morning and I cannot sleep because of the pain/soreness. I could not brush over the recently filled area before going to bed either as it felt very sore/sensitive. I have had fillings before and cannot remember the pain post-filling lasting this long. Thank you
A. Thanks for your questions, I am sorry to hear that you are suffering. I would advise that you return to your dentist at your earliest convenience to have the filling checked, as it is keeping you awake. It is possible that the filling may just need some slight adjustments, but I would encourage you to have it checked.
Kind regards

Q. Are there any risks in getting wisdow teeth pulled from only one side of the mouth? Like loss of equalibrium or anything ? And would deep rooted nerves in wisdom teeth cause tinnitus ?
A. You need to ask the dentist doing the surgery as there a a number of common risks and some uncommon ones. ther are some evidence based guidlines from NICE ( Nat institute of clinical excellence) on when its a good idea and when its not.

Q. Hello Dr., I read about enamel erosion on front teeth and I believe that this is my case, i have a few yellowish/transparent spots on my 2 front teeth. I read from one of your replies that I can’t restore the color with diet or habit, however what can I do to prevent more erosion and to at least keep it as is. thank you
A. Check your diet for acidic foods particularly fizzy drinks diet or otherwise. This is the cause of most erosion so reducing this will help prevent further enamel loss

Q. If xiline (lidocaine) causes me earblock, tachycardia, fainting, what else can be used as anestesic for molar extraxction(58 yrs old, no heart problem, only tyroid hypo). Thanks
A. Speak to your dentiat and let him know these problems prior to your appointment. The ingredient in the lidocaine or lignocaine is adrenaline which makes you faint or your heart beat fast. There are adrenaline free anesthetics such as citanest or septonest.

Q. I need a wisdom tooth removed but I Have allergies to the local anesthetic lidocaine or anything in the cain family I will be under general anesthesia but I am not going to have any local. How will the pain feel when I wake up?
A. General anaesthetic also takes away pain however it will feel sore afterwards but this can be controlled with painkillers. Your dentist may give you stronger pain relief through the iv drip used to administer the general so will give you pain relief while you recover.

Q. hi and a few years ago i use to smoke alot i started at the age of 14 ive been scared of the dentist now i want to sort my teeth out im 21 years old and im scared to show my self as i dont like my smile, my teeth need straightening but i dunno how to go arround it ive tryed brushing my teeth for 5 months now and my gums still bleed, i have a broken tooth aswell and allways getting things stuck in it, i am signing on and i cant afford anything to get me teeth done i dont know what the nhs has to offer please help i am willing to do anything to me teeth to make them better again
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)

Q. hi i am very scared of dentist and need work done teeth taken out ectcould have have work done under ga please could you let me know thanks
A. Probably not under a general anaesthetic but you could have the treatment under intra-venous sedation which is just as comfortable but with less risk to your general health.

Q. Dear Dr Bohara, I am writing on behalf of my adult daughter. She cannot go to the dentist unless she has IV sedation. She has recently moved to the Nottingham area and wants to have her veneers which are about ten years old redone. She also needs some emmergency fillings and is having pain. Could you pass on the name of a dentist in the Nottingham area where she could have IV sedation by a properely qualified dental practioner. Thank you,
A. Hi
Unfortuantely I do not know of a dentist who provides sedation in the Nottingham area. We see many patients from Nottingham. If you wish she can visit us in Loughborough, which is 30 mins away from Nottingham. Our website is www.dental-suite.co.uk.

Q. HI, my friend has a serious problem with her teeth, she has been told she needs 10 teeth extracted. She is a private patient and has a severe phobia of needles. Her dentist has referred her to specialists because she won’t have a needle for sedation. She has been told that no-one in the UK will use gas to put her to sleep so that a needle can then be used. She has now been told to go for hypnotherapy to cure her fear of needles. Is there anyone who will use gas these days? She is desperate, she has trouble eating and now even drinking. Thanks
A. There are some practices that still provide inhalation (gas and air)
If your friend is really terrified, then she could always ask her dentist to refer her to hospital for a general anaesthetic- as having numerous extractions in one go can be quite traumatic- especially if you are nervous to start with.
Intra-venous sedation is a really good option- as it is less risky than general anaesthetic, but it sounds as though your friend could not tolerate the needle.
Hypnotherapy is also a graet option to overcome her initial fear and make dental visits more comfortable. With people who are needle-phobic, then small steps need to be taken at a time.
She needs to build up trust and confidence wit the dentist treating her.
I see many patients that have come a long way since our initial visit. It may take a long time for her to eventually feel comfortable around needles/dentists.
Good luck.

Q. I WILL BE HAVING A APICECTOMY ON FRONT TOOTH. I JUST WATHCH A VIDEO SHOWING THE PROCEDURE AND NOW I REALLY, REALLY WANT SOME FORM OF SEDATION. WHY WOULD MY DENTIST SAY OH, DONT WORRY YOU DONT NEED IT. I DONT THINK I CAN DO THIS WITHOUT THE SEDATION.
A. You will be fine under local anaesthetic sometimes watching videos of procedures is not the best think to do! However I do agree that IV sedation is generally the best way to have the procedure ask your dentist for this option.

Q. dear sir is it possible to be asleep before the start of dental treatment,i am an extreem phobic due to many bad experiences in my child hood and teens,i have been unable to see a dentist in over 20 years i have visited over the years all of the dentists in my area but have been unable to stay for the appointment through sheer fear.i have a front tooth missing through an accident at work and various chips and would love to get veneers and get my teeth sorted out as it is so embarrasing,and i am so self concious about smiling, if i could be put to sleep i am sure i could go through with the surgery
A. We treat a number of very nervous people in my office. A large number I can treat while they are awake as over some time we make them very comfortable, the other option we use is IV sedation which allows you to fall asleep while we treat you.

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.
