A desperate cry for help. Have looked at many websites, some thanks to leads on this site, but yet to find the right dentist for me.
I have a history of cleft lip and palate, and following extensive orthodontic and maxillo surgery to reconstruct my face and jaw since birth, I am now left with a very sensitive mouth to the point that I cannot bear anyone poking around inside, and even daily brushing can be a trial at the best of times. My last dental experience in September 2010 was a disaster; having opted to brave a cleanup awake, I ended up in shear agony and trauma, and the dentist herself, despite claiming to be a phobic specialist was an absolute cow!! I have been in varying states of discomfort ever since.
So, I am now on that search for that special person who can look after me on a regular basis with love and compassion and without attitude. Sedation is difficult, as I have no escort to rely on afterwards. Can anyone help? Please message me on here with any thoughts/ideas.
Thanks, Simon (Surreyvwphobic)
