HELP! Anyone know a caring dentist/oral surg in east bay California? -TERRIFIED!!!!!!!! ):
Im terrified of the dentist because of bad past experiences and now Im in constant pain with 5 horrible teeth (3 being badly cracked/chipped) and I feel like Im just screwed now. I have no dental insurance, some savings, but otherwise low funds. As pathetic as it sounds, I constantly am thinking of winning the lottery so I can pay someone to put me to sleep and have all my teeth fixed when I wake up.
Im to the point where my teeth hurt every single day. Every orning, first thing I wake up to is pain in my jaw. I don't know if I have an infection. Every time I feel sick, Im terrified I might have a deadly infection that has spread through my body because Ive read so many scary things about people dying from tooth infections. This is RUINING my life.
I have no idea what to do because even with this, Im so scared to go. If they could just look and do xrays and tell me what I need done - maybe. But they wont. They have to poke you and put ice on your teeth (ive called around) and theres no way Im letting anyone poke that sharp thing down into my painfull teeth. Im so scared all the time. I think about this all day because they hurt all day. Id pay extra money to be put to sleep, and have them all pulled, but then Id be missing 5 of my back teeth because I cant afford the bridges. I know Ill need to have them pulled or have root canals because they are so far gone. Id have heart faileure if I had to sit through 5 root canals. Im beyond terriefied to get one. This sucks so bad. I live in the east bay in California. does anyone know a dentist or oral surg who specializes in fearfull patients? PLEASE HELP
