fear of dentist has destroyed my teeth, help?!

[amylou]

I once had a really bad dentist appointment, they gave me a filling and they cracked one of my teeth, as well as being rude and not explaining anything to me. So for years I have been to scared to go to the dentist, although iv had 2 emergency appointments, and have had 1 tooth pulled out, and another needed a route canal but I just got a temp filling.

I finally worked up the corouge to go today and one teeth needs pulling, and he told me some of the other fillings are too big and that he just had to leave them? I asked what actions I coupe take and he said various things but said because of the state of my teeth I may not be eligible, it all went over my head really.

What I wanted to know was can anyone have teeth replaced? Permanently? I'm willing to have surgery, I just want perfect teeth, will I ever be able to have perfect teeth? Or can a mouth be beyond repair? I'm terrified of having my teeth constantly removed

Thank you for reading

For the ones that have been removed you can get veneers or denture.... i woukd look around for a dentist who makes you feel comfortable after years of being terrified i have found a dentist who makes me feel safe when i got to him even after sitting in his chair for 3.5 hrs twice because my tweth have fused roots. The dentist makes ALL the difference!!

same boat mate....15 years since I went, eventually went to doctors and explained that I can in no way enter a dental surgery, he gave me diazepam.I still was unable even to sit in the dentists chair, and I had to tell her not to put anything other than her fingers in my mouth.she agreed my phobia was in the extremes and I was referred to hospital.at hospital the surgeon didn't quite understand the extent of my fear, not only of dentists but of needles and well lol hospitals, I was on a waiting list to have my teeth out under a general anaesthetic.i was given diazepam to calm me one night before and another the morning of my operation.I have got to say general anaesthetic is the way to go lol boom your out next thing your up.unfortunately they didn't remove all my teeth, why I dunno but if that path can help you like it did me....go see dentist and let them see just how anxious you can be.keep us posted
