Hi.
So I go to two different dentists currently. My normal who's down the road and my local hospital for work on my partial denture and other things.
I have been getting on with my normal dentist for a while and he knows about my anxiety around dentists. (which in recent years has been getting a lot better)
But recently things have changed.
1. He's started to yell at me for no reason. Last time I went to see him he yelled at me for not wearing my dentures when I told him I couldn't put it in because I have a abscess on my gum on my front tooth which makes it impossible for me to put the little plastic thing over it. So I'm waiting for the extraction to get my new partial put in. (The hospital is doing the extraction because I'm nervous and there's a sedation clinic there)
2. He keeps saying I'm wrong or I'm making something up.
3. I came to him recently because my jaw was swollen and he immediately said the back tooth needed removing but yesterday the hospital dentist said the swelling was caused by my wisdoms coming though and that the back tooth is fine and healthy and doesn't need removing.
4. I had an inkling it was my wisdoms coming though because I haven't had them yet and it's the right time for them to come in. My dentist was saying I was wrong again and kept forcing me to agree to yet another extraction.
5. When I go down there, he doesn't really do anything and just puts this brown stuff on my teeth? That's literally it.
6. I've noticed my anxiety goes up again when I sit in the chair and I've not felt this type of panic in literal years so I really don't want that back because I've done so well in the past.
So my question is, how do you change dentists? Do I go to the desk and say "I want to change dentists?" I really don't know how to do it.
Also is there any anxiety clinics in Cardiff who have a short waiting list and deal with anxious clients?
