Hi all i hope you are all doing ok,,
i have a BIG problem and i do not know what to do about it,,i have to ring the dental hospital to make an appt to get 5 teeth out under sedation,,my problems are:
1) the hosp is about 13 mile away and im scared of traveling incase i get car sick (im emetophobic)
2)im really scared of blood and i know if i taste it or see it i will be in a full blown panic attack
3)im really scared of being sedated as ive never been sedated before
4)im petrified the sedation will make me vomit after i wake up
5)im frightened of seeing the holes in my gums after theyre taking out because im a really sickly person and i know i will panic just with the thought of the holes in my gums
6)what if on the way home in the car i need to be sick off the sedation and i have to get out the car to vomit infront of people (social phobic)
7)or what if i just make a complete fool of myself infront of everyone there with me.
i even considered not phoning them to make the appt and just thought to myself ill put up with the pain,,but the thing is i KNOW i HAVE to make the appt because the pain is getting worse and i have had 3 abcesses in a month :( so i have no choice and the thought of not having the choice makes me worse,,
