Im 23 and my gums are infected and i had dry socket help with my dental phobia

Q. I am 23 years old and at my wits end with my teeth. My front four top and bottom are the only ones which are okay. Every other tooth is filled beyond belief, infected or causing me problems. I have developed a SEVERE phobia of dentists now and have to be sedated to have any treatment. It took me 2 and a half years to build up the courage to have a decayed molar that was ground down to the root removed in March. the gum became infected thereafter and I had dry socket…. now, June 2009 and the surrounding teeth are causing me problems. I am now on the waiting list to be sedated to get these teeth sorted. My question is: Is there ANY dentist… is it even heard of that a dentist will remove MOST (not all) of my teeth… under sedation of course? I am honestly at my wits end with them now I cannot cope with anymore dental problems. I would give anything to have all of my back teeth and side teeth removed leaving me with only my front four on the top and bottom. I would happily live toothless for the rest of my life if it meant no more toothache. Thanks for your help.

A. I couldnt promise for another dentist, i would hope that after following the first principle of not doing you any harm someone give you honest unbiased advice on your choices. Some of those choices should be suitable for a severe phobic. Try some of the dental phobic websites for ideas.
