Dentist does not sympathise with my pain

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Q.
i been having a great deal of pain from my teeth on the right side,i went to my dentist today and told him how much pain im in and that i have also got swelling on that side, and also i was put on antibiotics by an emergency dentist as he said i had an infection in one of my teeth.i’ve been on the tablets for 5 days and still in pain, so my dentist got rid of all the decay in the bad tooth and put this stuff in to temporary fill it, i have to go back in 3 weeks to have the tooth shaved down and he said to put a gold filling in, problem is im still in a great deal of pain, alot of swelling still, and he says he don’t think i have an abcess. im an extreamly nervous patient, and he isn’t very understanding, he almost reduced me to tears today cos he thought i was being awkward, when all i was trying to tell him was that last time i went to him when i got home i had a panic attack cos the novacaine took 6 hours to wear off. im in so much pain, im worried there is something else going on that he’s not seeing. i also suffer from TMJ which don’t help my visits to the dentist.,

Suggested crown for my cracked teeth is not affordable

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
Q.
Hi, Today at work one of my back teeth has cracked- it has a 10 year old filling inside. I’ve been advised it’ll probably need a crown. However I’m petrified of the dentist and have to be sedated when I go. How much will the work cost and if I took out private dental insurance, would it cover the work? I know it’ll be about £400 but that’s half my wages so won’t be able to afford it! Please advise in anyway possible. Many Thanks

I have had series of teeth problem causing tooth decay

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009
Q.
I’m quite young, Actually just 21! I used to always hate going to the dentist when i was little so i had Pretty teeth in the front but horrible ones in the back. When i finally went to one when i was 16 he did 4 root canals on 2 of my back teeth on both sides. I had medicaid at the time and didn’t tell me that medicaid wouldn’t pay for the rest so basically i couldnt do anything about it. From then on i had to get 2 back teeth pulled (on the same side) which doesn’t bother me.. I’m goin to have to get the other teeth pulled soon and some on top in the back. My question is. well my front teeth are decaying and almost gone. What are my options that i can get done. I will save up the money to pay for it but just trying to get info on what i should be getting done! and its about 4 teeth up front! Thanks so much for your time!

It depends on the extent of th… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is there a way to get me relaxed during my dental treatment?

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009
Q.
I have an abnormal physcological fear of dentists which is a result of a face slap by a dentist when I was a child (he pushed a sore tooth with his finger and I bit his finger) The last time I visited a dentist was 1972 they pumped me full of “happy gas” to try and get me to relax, I burned it up quicker than they could pump it in. When I get hurt I become violent, subsequently I have to be put under with a general anesthetic. My teeth need to be sorted out and some implants out in for ones that are missing and others that will have to be removed, but feel it would have to be done under proper hospital op conditions Is this possible please.
