Hi all,
First time posting here so go easy on me haha!
Well ever since I was young I have had a fear of the dentist, I had a tooth out earlier this year and thankfully after many times trying I seem to have finally found a dentist that suits me and keeps me calm etc.
I also am highly phobic when it comes to needles, we're talking I passed out once as my blood pressure or some such dropped low, I'm told it's more common than I think so hopefully someone knows what I'm going on about!
So I've just been told that my lower left wisdom is partially ruptured and impacted and as such I've been referred on to a specialist for the extraction. Now I know sometimes this requires sedation and I'm deathly deathly afraid of IV sedation, I mean I'm scared as it is of needles and this would be one going into the vein! How likely is it this will be needed?
Also the procedure itself terrifies me, I guess I'm seeking some re-assurance that it's not all that bad from people who have gone through it, it took me a lot to even book the appointment at the dentist and after having the procedure described to me by reading online it looks nasty.....
Hoping someone bothers to read through all of this and has some answers for me!
