Hello everyone,
I’m new and this is my first post and I truly hope someone can help me. I am completely terrified of the dentist I shake and cry before I even arrive, I work myself into a huge panic. Not once have I had a “good” experience with any dentist. I currently have 9 teeth on top and 12 on bottom and I’m needing to get dentures. My main fear right now is the extractions and bleeding. I’m terrified of being numb and bleeding, it puts me in a panic. Back in February I had to have an upper sorta front tooth pulled, it wasn’t the main front tooth but the one next to it was removed and when the oral surgeon numbed me my nose got numb and it felt as if I couldn’t breathe..and of course I panicked, cried and told my husband I couldn’t do it. He had to slowly calm me in order for the oral surgeon to pull it..it bled for about an hr and half and that to me was very very scary. Yes even tho I’ve had other teeth removed it’s the numbing that scares me the most. But in this situation I’m currently in I’m not sure if my entire face will be numb including my head and how about the lower extractions? I hate the feeling of not being able to swallow and I don’t think that I can do a full mouth extraction in one sitting either. I’m also very scared of any medication so I won’t ask for any either (I almost died from taking a pill) that is exactly why I’m so scared.. any help from anyone that can tell me what won’t I feel in my face for this numbing will help me tremendously and maybe also how much blood should one have for 21 teeth extraction? I just don’t want to go to the ER in panic because I’m bleeding if it’s considered normal timeframe.. I fully understand everyone’s experience is highly different and each to there own, BUT some tips and advice will be truly appreciated ?
