If I went through any cosmetic dentistry would I be put to sleep?

Q. Hiya, I’m 19 yrs old and i have the worst teeth. They’re wonky and i have (what feels like) a huge gap. my teeth are yellow and if i’m honest, i don’t brush them as much as I should do. I have a massive phobia of dentists, i haven’t been in about 6 years. the last time i had a filling i had to be put to sleep. I work in a physicatric hospital and the paitnets all pick out my teeth which is quiet hurtful. i was wondering, would veneers be the answer? and if i went through with any cosmetic dentistry, would i be able to be put to sleep? thanks

A. Hi, You can be put to sleep but there are other safer options like oral sedation.
I would discuss with your dentist Invisalign ( clear remoable orthodontics ) and whitening treatment which is not scary at all and will get you used to going to the dentist. Visit the hygienist who will clean you teeth and make your mouth feel amazing – this will also help your phobia as its a really nice treatment to start with.
