Well its just my luck, today was the day of my dentist appointement and 3 hours before i was due there i get a phone call to cancel my appointement due to a"staff shortage".

On a more promising note after been told by a dental institute that they would only see me via referal i was contacted by a consultant there who comes to my area once a month to do a restorative clinic at my local hospital. Although i do need a referal, he said i can ask my doctor to do that due to my phobia. Im at the docs on monday so things are looking very promising!!

Good luck, I look forward to reading how you get on as my teeth are in a similar state.
I'm planning to get an appointment and hopefully start treatment in Feb/March next year.
Keep us up to date and again, good luck!

half the battle is knowing what to ask for
