Hi,
I have a bit of a problem- I hate dentists, not personally but professionally- I hate going, I hate speaking to them and I hate even thinking about them; but I think i am out of options now. Ill explain..
A few years ago, maybe when i was 15/16 (Im 20 now) my sister broke my front tooth with a pipe (front insisor on my right)-I still hate her for the misery she has caused. When it happened the dentist glued the broken half back on then later screwed it on. The tooth went black and i had to have a crown done. I was just getting used to that guy and he left-it took me from the age of 6 to begin to trust him.
The next dentist i had gave me the whole root canal treatment and a crown. (He then left soon after also). I was actaully sat on by my sister during that procedure.
Then a while after i had my first abcess above that crown and was given antibiotics.
Then i had another which made my whole face swell up.
I then had another which was even worse- was given more antibiotics and it was so bad i told them to take out my tooth-but the dentist wouldnt as he thought I was too young to know what I was talking about--pretty much his words.
I then had another and had to go see another new dentist- who reffered me to the dental hospital. I went to the hospital and they took xrays and said it didnt look too bad. A few months later the hospital got in touch and said it didnt require treatment.
I then had another- more antibiotics but also a referal to have a apioseptomy (sp) when i was 18, they cut me open and had a dig around while i was drugged up- i was also trying to punch the guy-i dont want to be put to sleep because im scared of that too.
After a while (when i was 19) started getting more pain in my mouth-and noticed that i had a puss filled swelling where the scar from the dental op was. I have had a few of them which have been treated with antibiotics (many kinds).
The dentist last time said take the tablets and see what happens. I now have another-which is bigger than the others and has come on pretty fast- probably 2 days its taken to get this big.
I cannot afford to keep going to see dentists for 5 minutes and buying antibiotics. I have a habit of leaving it until it gets too bad to cope but now i just want it sorted. I hate having to keep going back there and dont have the money to do it either.
So what i am wondering is what can they do? Is there anything that they can do to stop it? What can i say to make them do something other than fill me with antibiotics and have to go back again? I am so fed up i am willing to have a false tooth- im young-but im smart and i know what i can live with-i dont care as long as i dont keep having this problem. Im off to uni in september and the only way i would get time off on that course is if i was in hospital- i cant afford to get ill while im there-if i miss a day or two i will be kicked out.
Can someone please help? If you knew how much i hate dentists you would know something is wrong for me wanting to get treatment by them. I am even considering just sticking a needle in it and geting the crap out myself. Im getting to the end of my teather. Can anyone give me some advice? Sorry for a long post.
