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

The dentist to pull out the wrong tooth?

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!

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

[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

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.
