Hello Dr Moore. About one third of one of my back molars broke off a while ago, and as I have a huge fear of dentists I have not been to see anyone about it. Now it is really hurting, I bit into something and it was excruciating, an now it’s constantly aching. I suffer from anxiety, and I was wondering if they would offer gas to put me to sleep as I also have a huge phobia of needles. Also would you be able to give me an idea of what I might be in for? Thank you in advance for your help with this.

Can I receive all the treatment I need before heading off with the army in January?
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012Q.
hi there doctor Andrew, here is my problem: I have not been to the dentist in around 10 years as I am too scared but have finally decided to go as two of my bottom molars have broken all the way down to the gum line. Also one on the other side of my mouth has suffered the same problem. One of the top molars is the same, my question is will the dentist make fun of me? As i feel very embarrassed about going to the dentist. I want my teeth sorting as I am going to Afghanistan in January with the army so I need to have them out so nothing puts me off when I’m there. I am in a lot of pain with my mouth currently and would love to get the treatment I need as soon as possible! Can I get the treatment I need even though i’m on the nhs?
