the best option?
hi my name is emma and im 25 i am absolutely terrified of dentists due to very bad experience when i was a teeneager. anyway last week i had really bad tooth ache at night so much that i couldn't lay down and had to sleep sitting up i know my teeth are really bad cause they are all broken off thanks to 2 battles with anorexia. I finally went to the dentist today first time in 10 years and he had a quick look with just a mirror and me standing up i was sobbing he said he thinks i will need 6 teeth out!! and som fillings as well as a big filling on my front teeth he said he will tell me more when i have been for an x-ray which i had tonight now i am waiting for nest appointment. My question is this is general anesthetic the best option for me he also mentioned sedation clinic im not sure how effective this is though and not really heard much about it which would you recommend for a severe phobic i mean really bad phobic. also my aunt had a filling done on her front tooth and two years later she needed it doing again due to decay setting in im so scared and don't know what to do im terified of having teeth out but if i managed that part i would like to know its over then but if i have to have my front teeth repaired as well then its just going to go on for months and months should i consider ( not that i want to ) having all my top teeth out under ga and getting it done with that way when im in the room with the dentist i cant breathe let alone speak making it hard to ask these questions any help would be so much appreciated has anyone had experience with needing so much work done which type of sedation is best ? thanks emma
