Hi guys,
Im 28 years old and terrified of the dentist, the smell, the procedures, the environment. Everything about it.
When i was a kid i had bad experiences, 8 ppl holding me down then gassing me out..ect (before i was 10 years old)
I went to the dentist twice after that, both times i got sedated and had ALOT of work done. At 15 and at 19.
Now im 28, i need work done. 2 of my wisdom teeth look like a valcano..yes that badly rotten, One of them i can put my tongue into the tooth and i cant even feel the bottom. That one has had an infection for approx 8 months. The gum would swell up once every 2 months or so and when i close my jaw/teeth they do not meet/match up to each other. The swelling lasts for approx a day or 2 and then goes down for a couple months. No pain...yet!. Still i am terrified of the dentist i cant get myself to go. I've been to the GP 4 times and each time they wont give me anything to sort it out. On the side of the gum where the wisdom tooth is a blister type thing and it pops everytime i touch it.
My issue is, i want to go to the dentist but funds are fairly hard to come by at the moment. Together with the fear of the dentist i just cant go at the moment. Also the times i went before when i got sedated my grand mother was with me. As apparently you have to have a adult with you. Well she is not here anymore and i dont have anyone else to come with me.
I was wondering if anyone can point me where i can get sedated without bringing a adult with me? is it possible? or only possible at a hospital? if possible at a hospital then how can i get the work done at the hospital, whats the procedure?
Thanks
