Hi all, Have I gone fully mental? Got dentist appointment tomorrow 10 30am after suffering tooth pain on and off for 2 and a half years and being to scared to go. I must be losing it only 2 weeks ago had my eye surgery, which I had been cancelling for over 3 years. Last time I went to dentist was really scared as I never had needle in gum to have tooth out, in my time they used to use gas to put u too sleep but stopped doing that cos of the dangers, but have always been so so scared of dentist and not go at any cost even bad pain. Well last time I went over 2 years ago a young male dentist said oh needle is only like a scratch and he removed the tooth no problem and no pain, so, I wasn’t as scared to go 2 weeks later to have another removed, but, I thought I would feel better with a female dentist so phoned and asked if I could have the female dentist at that surgery. Well went to see the lady not to scared as it didn’t really hurt the week before, I asked if I could have the gel to freeze my gum before injecting and she said no as that is only for babies and I am a man lol. Anyway she injected the gum and oh god didn’t she hurt me so so much:( but didn’t feel the tooth coming out. Any way that pain with needle put me right back to being scared so didn’t go back anymore even though in pain. Then a week ago after going through my eye surgery I thought, well if I can do the eye surgery why not get my teeth sorted, I am getting so pissed off with cant eat right and tooth pain. So looked up on net and found dentist who advertised that they treat anxious people so finally phoned up and made an appointment, I told them how nervous I was and would they use the gel and they said yes. After phoning the appointment I felt much better and not as scared as I was before even phoning lol. I know I have to have 2 teeth out as they are very lose, I am glad they are lose lol as they will be easier to get out. Well night before appointment now and am sure they wont even do anything tomorrow only look at me and some x-rays, I am pretty sure they wont extract as its to soon after my eye surgery. That’s partly why I made appointment it will also let me see if I can get on with this new dentist and how understanding they might be with anxious people. Will let you know how it goes tomorrow lol (if I get there) Tc all. Vernon
