please i need advise immediately

I have been looking for so long for help and because of my fear and allergies to all antibiotics and no one is taking medicaid i cant find help. Right now my gums are abscessed and i have a bad tooth. Im scared to death. The pain is so bad and its making my panic and agoraphobia even worse
I found a dentist who can not and is not equipped to handle complicated people like me. The only pain killing he does is some form of novacaine which i told him i know im allergic to. He doesnt believe me about my fear or my allergies.
Last night the pain got so bad i had to call him because i have no one else. He was drunk and he made fun of my fear and pain and told me to find a ride and come in today and hes going to start pulling my teeth. I asked him about the infection and he said i should be on some kind of antibiotic but oh well we are just going to start pulling my teeth. Is this safe? Im so scared. This infection and pain is bad and now im I have heard the infection needs to be cleared up first. But if i dont go who will help me? I feel trapped and paralyzed with fear. What should i do. Please help. I have been shaking and crying. I feel like i will pass out. I cant take this.

Hi I think you must have left as you are no longer on the site. Let us know how you get on please. I hope you can get some help, are you sure this is the dentist for you ?

Could you not go to a dental hospital instead of him. I wouldn't let him start extracting teeth before seeing someone else. There must be something that they can give you instead of the antibiotics.

Best wishes let us know how you get on please

Hi I would be as well. He doesn't sound very professional and he should not be answering the phone drunk or making fun of how you feel. You could try and do some salt water rinses, cool ones rather than hot as when I had an abscess I found hot rinses make things way worse.

I am also the same age as you almost and I understand the fear you are feeling, is there nowhere else you can contact, even ring the ER and ask them if there is anywhere and explain that this dentist was drunk and that he made fun of you. They may be able to give you some advice on what to do while you find a responsible dentist. Have you looked on here at the find a dentist section to see if there is anyone in your area or an area that you could travel to. I do know it is hard there to find dentists as we have had people from your area on here.

When you are looking I wouldn't be to worried if they don't say that they are good with nervous patients, a lot of dentists these days don't say it but they do want us to be comfortable and be able to go for treatment that we might need.
