yep, i have admitted it. i am literally extremely scared of the dentist to the point i cry at the thought of going to one. last time i went (about 4 years ago) i vomited in the little sink them due to nerves and they refused to treat or see me after that. i currently have no dentist which i was so happy about till a few nights ago.
im have problems with my jaw. it constantly clicks and now has started locking, being stiff and my left hand side of my face is agony. i rung NHS direct and i was told i need a referral to the dental hospital but can only go if im registered with a dentist.
i really built up courage in myself and rung 4 dentists yesterday, all refused me NHS and privately. one i had some progress but when i mentioned i have a bad phobia of the dentist they hung up.
now im back to square one. i had a bad experience when i was 7 with a dentist and since then my phobia has got worse and worse to the point im in pain and no dentist will see me because im scared. all i want is a referral...
everyone tells me no one likes the dentist, and they are scared but once they go in they are fine. i really wish i was like that, even driving past a surgery makes me upset.
please help me, i dont know what to do. myphobia is out of hand and im now in pain.
