hi there My mum really wants an implant on her front bottom tooth but is really nervous in going through with it. Could you reassure her what pain or discomfort she would go through during the process, and how many injections they will put in, and is she allowed valliam for the surgery she is 75 years old. Also how many times would she have to go back. She is already got a dentist in mind but can you recommend details of any one who is good with simpathizing with her nervousness including yourself. Hope you can help Thankyou

hi i am very scared about needles and dentists and im worried about sedation i have never had it before ive been reffered by my dentist beause i have got to have my wisdom teeth out and just wanted to know if sedation means that im put to sleep or im still awake. And is there any other way of sedation then having a needle because i really dont like them and how long does sedation last and will it make me feel ill. if you could answer my question i would be very greatful.
many thanks 

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

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?

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

have a cyst in jaw caused by old root canaled tooth still present and need to have 2 neighbouring teeth root c as well prior to op – have had one too many bad experiences with numbing so have had iv sedation at private dentist but dentl insurance only covers 1/3 of cost for this – there anyway i caan have nhs treatment but pay full for sedation – must have done asap as op by june – current quote for 2 root canal plus iv sed is £1200 – all this because i enquired about having my darkened tooth dealt with and they found the cyst etc etc – please help – kind regards

im thinking bout having some veneers done. my teeth are very sensitive..is it possible to be knocked out for them to be done.. especially for the grinding bit..

I am dental phobic and I’m suffering from an abscess. In the past I have had sedation but I still couldn’t have the treatment as I was terrified. I am in so much pain and discomfort I really don’t know what to do. My mum would pay for me to have treatment but I need to be asleep. Any suggestions? I live in Taunton, Somerset.

Can cosmetic dentistry be done under anaesthetic for nervous patients who require considerable work?
