thank you very much, and to fellow phobics as far as my day was concerned fear was my biggest enemy and once i had overcome that i was free and clear and eight teeth were removed and i never even knew about it until it was all over.

I have to get 7 teeth extracted but only have the money to get the worst 4 done tomorrow. Reading your story has made me feel better because fear is controlling me as well. I am sure everything will be fine once it's all over. Good job!!1

Hi brandnew44 to the forum.

By now you will have had your teeth removed, I hope it all went well for you and that you are healing well. I would be interested to hear how you got on if you would be so kind

I know how you must have been feeling so well done!!!! I went to the dentist last week for an extraction and I was terrified!! I have to say that my dentist at the Brandsby House Practice in Hull did an amazing job. Thanks Rani!
When he got the drill out to basically rip out my tooth, my eyes were watering but I also didn't feel a thing. They certainly gave me a good dose of whatever it was (maybe I should have asked?!!).
My trouble was due to wisdom teeth coming through. I was worried that it was gum disease. My dentist said that there was indeed decay but it was primarily due to my wisdom teeth causing a problem...So I needn't stop eating sweets!! Yipee

Will

nice one will, one thing that helped me through my anxiety was making a mental note.
THE DENTIST IS A PERSON AND THEY ARE NOT OUT TO TORTURE ME, THEY WANT TO HELP ME.
and that is exactly what they did, i am healing well and was amazed that i never got any stitches.
