Help Me! I’m Terrified Of The Dentist But I Think My Teeth Are Letting Me Down In My Line Of Work. What Treatments Are Available?
Q.
Help me! I am so terrified of the dentist and pain that I feel sick just talking about it but I really need to go. I started having root canal four years ago bit never went back to get it filled and now my tooth
has completely broken off and I think I have an abscess there now. I must need about 20 fillings more root canal teeth out, I want to get my teeth right and I want a brace and my teeth are all stained too. I am so embarrassed to go because they have got so bad I don’t want to end up with no teeth. What treatments can you offer me? I’m terrified of needles too I’ve tried “laughing gas” but it didn’t work, I also tried hypnotherapy but that didn’t work! Please help I think my teeth are letting me down in my line of work.

Hello and thank you for getting in touch. I think in the first instance you need to find a dentist you feel comfortable with and can develop a good rapport. Always go on recommendation. Ask your friends and family who they see and if they are happy. Making the initial appointment is the biggest step and you shouldn’t feel conscious of what the dentist may say, because I can assure you that they have seen it all before. Once you feel comfortable enough to have your teeth examined, your dentist will tell you exactly what treatment you need and then tailor a schedule of appointments to suit. They will also discuss the options available to reduce your anxiety, such as oral or intrevenous sedation. I really hope this helps and wish you all the best. Regards Marcus Gambroudes.
