Hello. I am terrified of the dentist and haven’t been for at least 20 years when I had a nerve removed, then the dentist packed it and I should have gone back the week after but I never did as there isn’t much tooth left. I’m scared of how they can grasp it to take it out. How will the dentist do this? It’s the same both sides of my mouth and I have problems eating and I never smile due to the gaps in my teeth.
Hi! I have a huge fear of the dentist due to having several heavy handed dentists when I was a lot younger who didn’t address my fear at al, which has caused me not to visit a dentist for around 4 years. I am 22, and have very weak enamel on my teeth. I do try to maintain a healthy diet, however I have suffered from re-flux in the past which I believe has caused an increase in the decay in my teeth. My front tooth weakened and chipped 4 years ago and I was told I may need root canal treatment. However at first I was given a filling and I was too scared to go back after this, and since then my back teeth are suffering. My teeth would often break off slowly which has resulted in my losing 2 lower teeth and one upper on the right hand side and one lower one upper on left. This is very frightening for me and I’ve found it so hard to visit a dentist due to my fear. I desperately want my front tooth repaired as it is becoming thinner all the time. I also am having difficulty eating due to my back teeth. Is there anything that will resolve these underlying issues? I’m terrified of a dentist saying there’s nothing they can do and I eventually lose all my teeth. Thank you.
hello i’m 18 and my teeth are in really bad condition i went to the dentist about 4 months ago and had a filling i am so scared of dentists and a real bad phobia but i really want a nice white smile but i cant physically take myself to the dentist can i be put asleep by any nhs dentist? i say this as i couldn’t possibly be awake, i had a filling but didn’t go back as i was too scared is there anything you can help me with as my teeth are starting to rot? it’s quite depressing as i’m only young and i cant physically smile, being 18 and a little insecure anyway its knocking my confidence in daily life. hope to hear back from you, thanks so much in advance for your help.
Hi I suffer with severe gum disease and I have lost almost all my gum surrounding my 2 bottom teeth. I am also a very nervous patient and havent been to my dentist for 2 yrs as he doesnt understand. He has also said nothing can be done about my gums but ive heard of a procedure where u remove good gum and put it on the affected area. Ive been looking but cannot find a dentist where I live that deals with peridontal disease. Im really desperate as I dont want my teeth to fall out. When ive been to the dentist in the past ive been made to feel like I dont brush my teeth but they r brushed twice sometimes 3 times a day, I did used to smoke. Ive been suffering with this since I was 15 and im now 30.
I would b really grateful for some advice and guidance.
Thanks.
Hello doctor Bohara, I;m 39 years old and I had front dentures put in at a young age but now i would like to get a full set for the rest of my teeth because the rest of my teeth are in poor condition. I would need to be put to sleep for taking my teeth out because I’m a very nervous patient. How expensive would it be to have this done. Also, will I have to go any amount of time without dentures in because I would find that difficult and be too ashamed to do anything without any teeth. This is my last hope, I hope you can help me make my dream to smile again a reality, and bring my confidence back, Thanks,
hi there My mum really wants an implant on her front bottom tooth but is really nervous in going through with it. Could you reassure her what pain or discomfort she would go through during the process, and how many injections they will put in, and is she allowed valliam for the surgery she is 75 years old. Also how many times would she have to go back. She is already got a dentist in mind but can you recommend details of any one who is good with simpathizing with her nervousness including yourself. Hope you can help Thankyou

Since having stents in my heart 4 years ago, the anaesthetic used does not last long enough to keep nerve numb. i.e. works quick and goes quick, therefore dentist tops up with small amounts left in syringe.
I’m about to have (strong possibility) root canal treatment. Dentist had to stop, temp. filing given. Said she could ‘see’ nerve. Problem was only picked up after an X-ray, up until then tooth had looked fine.
Q: Is there anything you can suggest to help keep the nerve numb?
P.S. I’m a nervous patient which doesn’t help.
