Tomorrow at 9am (UK) I will have my front tooth extracted and a side tooth extracted and an immediate partial denture of 5 teeth (canines were removed as a kid). I am so anxious and worried. I have an immense fear of numbing (loss of control).
My doctor is giving me slightly stronger valium (they don't like handing these out) but I know that won't make much difference. There is no IV sedation available.
What if I have a panic attack after she injects me and the numbing happens? (I've had one before at the dentist. He let me walk around for 5. But she has other patients...so, you know). But the numbing, it is top right front tooth and top left about 5 along. How far will the numbing reach? Will it take long? The whole procedure?
I am worrying so much about it; the procedure and the adjustment. I have a gap between my front teeth and they are keeping that in the denture (I would have loved not to have had that gap).
Any tips and prayers greatly appreciated.
