I am due to have bonding on a molar tooth. It is 2/3 filled and in the remaining third I have 2 non cavitated potholes. Despite my anxiety, I requested to have them filled due to being worried about them getting worse. Dentist says they are due to my teeth being non aligned.
My dentist says if I can cope with a cleaning then this won’t be a problem. However my fear is due to being crowded out and being unable to swallow. The last time I had treatment awake was a deep filling where the injection and drilling were fine but I panicked during the filling stage where I had two people standing over me. I have had IV sedation twice and required the full dose.
Could someone please give me some idea on the steps that this type of treatment will have? I have also had a tiny chip on a temporary filling fixed and it being no problem, is this the same or different?
Even though my brain understands it’s quite a minor treatment I am afraid my body will just go into panic mode from previous experiences. What drug would be best in this instance? I have propranolol, but would have to ask my dentist for an anxiolytic- would it be prescribed in this circumstance?
thanks for any advice.
