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.

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

i live in haslington in cheshire i would like to have my teeth sorted badly but am afraid of dentist

Monday, May 18th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I know this may be a long shot, but I hope that you maybe able to help. I’m stuck in a position and not sure what to do, as I suffer from Depression/anxiety panic attacks I have a fear of going to the dentist. I never had a problem going to the dentist until I was 16 (1996)when I changed dentist, I was having treatment and was in pain but the dentist wasn’t polite with me. I didn’t go again till 2000, but in a different area, and again I came across the same problem. My teeth are in bad shape, the look cleanish, but I know they they are all bad. I was wondering if you could give me any advice on what to do. I am unemployed and claiming incapacity benefit, which I know that I will have to pay for consultation/treatment. Which I would need help with or a payment plan?? I would like my teeth sorted badly, but am afraid of dentist and find it difficult to find an understanding one. I live in Haslington in Cheshire. If you could help me in advice or anything, this would be very much appreciated. Many thanks

Basically i have had an abcess for several years

Q.
Hi, Basically i have had an abcess for several years, under a filling i had in one of my bottom teeth. I have had a fear of dentists ever since having a bad experience years back. This tooth have now decayed away and is left open. If i accidently touch it it causes unbearable amounts of pain. I think it has spread to the tooth behind it aswell, as this has started to become very painful. The tooth that has decayed away, now i can see a black patch that is very sensitive. Some weeks there is no pain, then suddenly if comes back with a vengeange! I have a dentist appointment next week to get checked over and get nessacery treatment. What am i going to expect as im quite worried! Thanks

Q.
Hi, I have radiating pain in my upper teeth. I believed it is one of the upper molar. There is nothing wrong with the tooth but I can feel sharp pain radiating. Sometimes, the pain goes away entirely. The gums are bleeding when I floss. Do I need a root canal? I’m scared since I’ve already had two in the past month.

I have known for a while I will need braces

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008
Q.
Hello, I am 17 years old, and I have known for a while I will need braces. i go to an NHS orthodontist and have a removable brace. However, I have been told I need to have four teeth out. This is a big problem for me because I am terrified of needles and having the teeth pulled out. I have tried to have the teeth pulled out four times, twice under sedation. I would like to know if there any braces which I could have which would not need any teeth pulling out, as I would love to have straight teeth. Thank You.
