I am 16 years old and my front teeth are very far forward and they have made a MASSIVE impact on my self confidence. I live in the uk so therefore I am able to get a brace for free through the NHS but to get my brace I need to get my two baby teeth out so my front teeth can move. Unfortunately I have had a needle phobia since I can remember, this has resulted in me going to get my teeth out 6 or 7 (!) times and failing each time because I was so hysterical. I currently going through therapy for my phobia but before I was on the course i made an appointment to get them out and have a filling, adding to the anxiety, through IV sedation.
I am so nervous as I don’t know if I will be able to let the dentist get near my hand for the IV to go in. I am getting so frustrated and down about this as I feel my life is on hold until I get my teeth out and my brace on. I would be so grateful if anyone has gone through this and can share their experience as my appointment is on Thursday.
