I finally got the courage to go to the dentist for the first time in a while two weeks ago, was absolutely terrified going into it and could feel myself panicking despite it only being an initial NHS consultation.
After poking, prodding and some xrays he decided I needed 5 teeth pulling and and booked me in for all 5 on the same day and allowed me a 30 minute appointment time for it.. at the end I said 'Well that wasnt so bad' to which he replied 'Not this time...'. Great!
I've been beside myself with anxiety about it to the point where I went to my doctor seeking diazepam for the fear and he was fine to pescribe proving my dentist agreed. Called the dental office - 'No we wont do any procedure under any type of sedation due to you not being able to consent' Great!
So my appointment is tomorrow and I cant think straight. Totally on edge and so worried about it all - I've had a tooth pulled 10 years ago. I'm still alive and dont remember it being too bad, but I remember not coping well immediately after. Very faint etc.
Has anyone experienced having so many teeth pulled at once? One of which is barely even there above the gumline.. I know I need these gone and he wont proceed to the fillings I need until its tackled. But I'm starting to feel like i cant do it.
