Please help,
I have been suffering with tooth abcess on one particular molar for the past 7 years on and off. I have had antibiotics and never gone back to the dentists due to fear.
The tooth has broken to below the gum-line now and i almost constantly have an inflamation on the side of the tooth on the gum. Under my chin, below the tooth itself i can feel a "hard" lump that moves around under there.
I do not have a dentist as i have been taken off the list due to my own doing.
My GP says the tooth needs to be removed and i have heard that these problems can lead to Ludwigs Angina and other problems.
I am terrified of doctors, dentists , needles and such like.
I in the past have tried, valium, emla anaesthetic cream, hypnotherapy and not sleeping. To help with the fear.
I want to have the work done but i just cant face the needles.
Can you please shed some light on what maybe wrong with the tooth and lump, and also if there is a way of pain relief avoiding needles????
Im so scared and feel like a complete failure,
I am open to all ideas,
Please help
