I am due to have a double apicectomy on Friday and to put it mildly, I am absolutely terrified and working myself into a complete mess.
My usual dentist usually does my treatment with a local with no epinephrine in as it causes me to panic. This appointment is with an endo, who seems very nice but doesn’t know my history. I did explain I’m anxious to him but can usually cope when I’m in the chair. This only works because I haven’t had the adrenaline rush which makes me panic.
From what I’ve gathered on Google the apicectomy requires a local with twice as much epinephrine as usual so I am in a spin.
My GP has said she will prescribe Diazepam if I want. I try to control my anxiety and panic without any medication at all, but I am so worried I’ll have a massive panic attack and not be able to go through with it (and lose my £1000!). I want to save my teeth desperately, but I feel like I won’t cope.
Does anyone have any reassurance or advice?
Thank you.
