DENTISTS! Anyone else petrified?

[thisisdanny]

Absolutely petrified to the point where I haven't been for about 10 years and luckily haven't needed to. However, a small hole in my tooth which I've had for a few years but wasn't bothering me turned into the whole tooth crumbling over Christmas but I wasn't getting any pain so still left it.

This week though I've been getting extreme pain and I know I'll have to give in and go but I'm so scared :( It's not just a "don't like dentists" it's a genuine fear.

Anyone else like this with dentists?

[montblanc]

is there a reason you’re so scared :umm2:

i’m not scared at all it’s just a chore going :skull:

[RileyH]

my dentist is gorgeous so am fine with ha fingering my mouth

[Amy Jade]

I used to be but after I got braces it was just meh get on with it.

I go free though so I go every 6 months, if only go when I needed to otherwise!

[Liam-]

I’m not scared of going, but once I’m there and in the waiting room, being able to hear like, the drills and stuff being used freaks me right out

[Dogeatdog]

I’m not scared of going either. I had to have two fillings and a tooth taken out when I was younger so I never really had a fear of going as I got older.

:joker:

[smudgie]

I used to shake just taking the kids for their check ups.
Ended up pulling some of my teeth out myself when needed.
I can remember the dentist coming out and giving me a calming cuddle in a full waiting room when he took two of my son’s teeth out, quite embarrassing, but very understanding dentist.:blush:

[thisisdanny]

This doesn't surprise me at all

[thisisdanny]

I'm hoping the pain will go away but I can't see it happening

[montblanc]

it's time to go to them :devil:

[LaLaLand]

I don't like going but it's better to than leave it.

I left my teeth go really bad when I was very ill with anxiety/depression (I was a recluse basically), the meds I was on killed nerves in my teeth and rotted around some fillings I already had and I ended up having abscesses... Nothing a dentist will do to you will be as painful as that trust me!!

I ended up having 4 teeth out and 4 fillings in one sitting last September and it was a breeze and kind of did away with any of my nerves about dentists! Just the injections that stung a bit and then lots of tugging :laugh2:

[thisisdanny]

it's time to go to them :devil:

Come with me, hold my hand

[Crimson Dynamo]

Avoid them

Money greedy pigs

[Cherie]

I hate the thought of going, but it’s okay once I’m there, if they could do away with the drill noises it wouldn’t be so bad,

[Liam-]

I'm hoping the pain will go away but I can't see it happening

Yeah, from what you mentioned, it sounds similar to something I had and the pain got worse and I ended up needing to have a root canal, so it would be best to get it seen to asap :worry:

[MTVN]

I'm not particularly scared of them but I do find the whole thing pretty horrible.. some bloke sticking his hand in your mouth and the drill against your teeth when that needs doing and last time I was there they scraped away some plaque which made me wince a bit. I can't imagine actually being a dentist, you have to inflict so much pain and you see people in such a vulnerable state :worry:

[Beso]

I've just lost my balls up inside my body.

[Cherie]

:joker:

[thisisdanny]

I haven't had stabbing pain for about 20 minutes :dance:

I'm CURED

[Strictly Jake]

Not scared of them but haven't been for 4 years if not more. Just because I begrudged paying 20 quid for them to check my teeth which are fine. They are still fine without going to the dentist

[caprimint]

It's the thing I'm scared of the most honestly

[JerseyWins]

i’m not scared at all it’s just a chore going :skull:
THIS!

And when I had to get my wisdom tooth removed last year I had to go to multiple appointments within the span of like 2-3+ months it was a mess :skull:

...I know it’s going to be really scary for you, Danny...but once you have been this one time you’ll realise that actually there’s nothing at all to fear...whatever is needed to be done to repair your teeth, will all be done pain free...and hopefully you’ll really feel liberated that you’ve gone and that you’re on the way to healthy teeth and that you’ve achieved something very huge for you...good luck, you’ll be fine ...:hug:...you’ll get there and then you’ll know there’s nothing to fear for next time...let us know how you get on, yeah..:hug:..

[Vanessa]

Absolutely petrified D::bawling:

[Crimson Dynamo]

I have had so much bloody pain at the dentist i cant think thre is anything else left that they could do, I figure once you have had a million injections int YOUR GUMS and your neves scarped out or fillings with NO pain relief you can face anything

[Cherie]

Its better to go now Danny and when you are pain free than going when in pain, make that appointment :sad:

[Livia]

I hate the dentist. No one really likes it, surely. My brother, however, has a real phobia. I remember when he was young and a motorcycle courier, he delivered a package to a dentist in Wimpole Street, got a whiff of the dentist smell and passed out.

I had a dentist break a drill on my tooth during a root canal. It's still in there... he just kind of filled over it, but you can see it on x-rays. And he was bloody Scottish... I think he did it on purpose.

[bots]

i avoided the dentist for years, because as a kid, the dentist i had was dreadful. Eventually I plucked up the courage and found a really good one. I don't have any fear going to him now and i've had some serious work done without issue

[Kazanne]

I have the dentist this afternoon, not keen on it but I hate nasty looking teeth, hopefully it will just be a clean and polish,even that always makes my gums bleed.

[Josy]

I have a phobia about it and I mean like to the point I shake, sweat, feel sick and dizzy etc and that's before I even set foot in the place, luckily for me and my gnashers though I am with a dental practice that specialise in dealing with nervous patients, they are actually amazing at what they do.

Good luck Danny

My brother is the same, his face visibly whitens if you even mention the dentist. Lucky for him he has good teeth, but when he has to have a filling he has a general anaesthetic. And of course it gives me a golden opportunity to call him a pussy. I'm his sister, that's my job.

[Barry.]

Not really Danny but it feels like you should go.

I'm the same really, even thinking about making the appointment I actually cry and feel dizzy. Sounds ridiculous but it's a huge genuine fear :bawling: There's no way I'll be going on my own though, I'll have to take my mam :joker:

Pain hasn't been too bad today though. Uncomfortable but not painful, but I'm starting to accept it needs sorting.

Do you have a dentist near you that specialises in nervous patients? If you could register with a practice like that it would make the experience so much better for you.

aw did it all go okay

[thisisdanny]

Got past the first stage, now if it's the difficult bit :( It's a genuine phobia not just finding it scary

Need a tooth out, which is infected underneath the gum, but apart from that it's alright. I was a complete mess mind, panic attacks before I even got there. But the dentist was lovely, so understanding, I wouldn't have managed to even sit in the chair if she wasn't so nice tbh. But like I say identifying the problem is the easy bit, I need to do it all again but it'll be 10 times worse

[RileyH]

The dentist to pull out the wrong tooth?

[Barry.]

Don't scare him lol.

Well done you for going!

Honestly, having a tooth out is NOTHING. Just a wiggling sensation and then a really satisfying "relief" feeling when it's out. Takes like 5 seconds. No pain! A filling is much worse. Just try not to think about it mate.

I had 4 teeth out and a few little fillings in one hit last year after neglecting going due to bad anxiety/depression episodes for years, the medication I was on had ruined my teeth which resulted in me having recurring abscesses (which ain't a barrel of laughs and much more painful than any dental procedure!) Honestly, I just felt the initial injections, like a brief sting, and once I was numb I couldn't even tell you where exactly the dentist was in my mouth, didn't feel a thing. Just laid back and closed my eyes, could have easily fell asleep tbh.

You can do it!

[Jason.]

Pull them all oot?

[Glenn.]

My cousin went to the dentist once and he dislocated her jaw.

Danny canceling next appointment?

[thisisdanny]

Thanks Glenn that’s reassuring

[thisisdanny]

Big brave boy today x

[Morgan.]

I’m about to go and am scared :( it’s my first time going alone and my first time having a scale and polish and it’s a new dentists and even though none of it’s that bad I still find it uncomfortable :(

[Ammi]

...awww it’ll be totally fine ...and your teeth will feel so great with the scale and polish as well...

[thisisdanny]

I just got a tooth out but I was more worried about the actual injections/sedation. It felt like it took 2 minutes but it was nearly half an hour so must have been knocked out for a while. Took it out, filled another but tried to do the scale and polish but it made me feel sick so they stopped half way. I think that was cos of all the other stuff I'd had done though so I wouldn't worry about it Morgan. If I can do it anybody can!

Still absolutely petrified though - and a little drunk from the sedation yikes

My dad basically overdosed on the sedation :omgno: He had to have a tooth out so they injected his gum with the anaesthetic and you’re meant to leave it a while so start working but they tried taking the tooth out immediately. He told them it was too painful, and in total they gave him like 5 shots of anaesthetic and it still never numbed :skull:

[Morgan.]

My final wisdom tooth also grew through since I last went and all my others have been fine and this is the only one I had slight pain with but if I don’t tell them that they won’t know :fan:

This is what happened with me too :skull: Terrible experience

[Glenn.]

Did he dislocate anything?

[thisisdanny]

Did he dislocate anything?

No :joker: How could they dislocate a jar? What were they even doing, surely they shouldn't need to use that much force? :conf::conf::(

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

I don’t mind extractions i actually prefer them to fillings bc i can’t stand the drill

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

The absolute WORST is root canal though

[Barry.]

Brave Danny.

[Morgan.]

I found the scrape and polish really nice lmao

Apart from the scraping, that sound was horrific.

But the squirting water and air was nice :love:

[Liam-]

The absolute WORST is root canal though

I had a root canal done and it failed after a year and had to have the tooth taken out anyway, it was a dire experience, that plastic thing they use to keep the tooth dry nearly killed me

The lil spiky needle thing they shove inside the tooth :bawling:

Feeling them digging around the base of the tooth with that cleaning tool ugh nope

I remember him walking away for a second so I tried to swallow some of the liquid that was there and I couldn’t close my mouth because of a pole sticking out of my tooth, I felt like a Saw victim :(
