I just wanted to share this idea which although seems so ridiculously obvious, was the key to my success and will doubtless help others. Put simply, when searching for a practice that might help with phobia, also look and (and ask) for details or to speak with the dentist(s) that are especially good with children; chances are that if they can help and pacify a yelling toddler, they can surely calm a blubbering 50 year old! The only pitfall to watch for down this route is that you do not find someone patronising with this, but I found this approach to work very well. I have not so far plugged the practice that gave me this simple bit of advice, but will now do so; they are called Cavendish House and are somewhere just outside Cambridge but I do not have details to hand at present, but will happily post them when found. I was so touched by their honesty when I contacted them during my search, as they indicated that they are quite a large practice and very busy, and could genuinely not offer the time patience and care that they said I very much needed and deserved. Bless them! A lovely young lady called Clare gave me the suggestion of hunting out the paediatric specialists of any practice. In my case, it was the perfect solution!
