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

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!

Big brave boy today x

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 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

This is what happened with me too Terrible experience

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

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?

Yes terrified.

[Glenn.]

Did he dislocate anything?
