I plucked up ALL the courage I could muster & booked an appointment with a " caring" dentist only to be told I was one of the most phobic patients he had ever come across & he could not treat me!
I take a lot of medication for a heart problem & have many branches to my phobia incl. abuse, loss of control (crying, sweating, shaking) & previous bad experiences at the dentist to name but a few & although the reasons for my phobia were not explained fully my hubby did make him aware beforehand that I was "really" phobic & a quivering wreck & that I took a lot of medication, the dentist said this was fine but of course it wasn't & I have been sent packing with no help whatsoever
This is now 4 weeks later & I'm still in pain but have no idea where to turn, my husband has tried other dentists but they have all turned me down citing the medications I take, please can anyone tell me how I might seek help
Scared & embarrassed as I am I know I need help & am desperate to feel normal again....Thank you
