Can i get my teeth taken out under general anesthesia at the hospital?

Monday, August 24th, 2009
Q.
Hello, back in october last year i had 8 teeth removed,2 months later i had a dental absess that ingulfed my face. i had to have surgery and more teeth removed as they plugged the absess. in that time i had the inside of my mouth cut open in 2 places with a scalpul and an epidural needle plunged into my face. as a result of this i have had a nervous breakdown and think about my mouth 24 hours a day. i have only 7 teeth on the top set left, 2 have extreme long tooth and 2 are crowns,the bottom i have 9 teeth all my fronts mainly and one side which i use to eat. they need a very deep clean.now since all this has happened i have tried to go to the dentist but i have huge panick attacks and vomit my nerves are shot, i even tried to go via sedation but even the though of needles etc coming near me sends me into tears and i cant breath. as i cant seem to deal with this would i be able to have my teeth taken out under general at the hospital,and if so how would i go about doing this. would be grateful for any advice.

My upper teeth is getting extracted and im scared to death can u help?

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr Moore, I am a 57 year old Black-American female with what has been diagnosed as MS. As a child I never went to the dentist and did very little to take care of my teeth besides brushing. Now I need teeth and am contemplating having all my upper teeth extracted and getting a plate and a bridge. My concern is not only that I’m scared to death, but will I be able to tolerate the surgery, recover and that they won’t pull out my brains, memory what strength I do have with the teeth? Can you help? Sincerely,

Ive rotten teeth that need to removed and im feared of dentist can you give me some advice

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
Q.
I have a few rotten teeth that need removing as very painfull i also have poor oral health due to a massive fear of dentists i have even thought about being knocked out having them all taken out then false teeth so i dont keep having all this pain and worry however this cost is not an option for me. I would really like some help to get my oral health back and teeth sorted and say goodbye to the pain last night i only had 2 hours sleep due to the pain. The other problem i have is i am ellergic to the injections and the last time i had a tooth removed it was at birmingham dental hospital under sedation this put with my very bad fear of dentists is why my oral health is so bad and i am ashamed of it to be honest but worried about doing anything about it. I have also had a very unsympathetic dentist years ago which made me worse and not had a dentist since. Please can you give me some advice and point me in the direction of help as i worried in pain and anxious. regards

Q.
