Pravin
the dentist has given up.
I am a
hugely nervous dental patient and have a broken tooth that needs removing. The problem is the teeth either side are
really crowded into it so it's a very awkward job.
This
morning Pravin numbed my jaw, scaled the inside of my front lower teeth whilst
the numbing took effect and I squirmed because I hate it all.
He told
me that there would be a lot of crunching noises and pressure, saw me tense up
and then.
“I'm
going to refer you to the dental hospital for sedation. You're jumping about like anything - you're in
danger of hurting yourself.”
I feel
both awful and relieved at the same time.
But it
would appear all my other teeth are sound, for the moment.
Mrs Lasagne Oh Ben. ! I hope it gets sorted for you without pain ! Sending love xxxxx

Except when it got infected a few weeks ago the broken tooth causes no
pain. I feel a real wuss though.

Don't be. I'm just the same
with stuff like that!
Miss
Doozer You have all
my sympathy; my teeth are awkward too. Let me know if you want company to the Dental
Hospital.

Thank you, I might.
Mrs Quilt Mr Quilt had Treatment
at the Dental Hospital because of his blood problems. We are lucky to have one near. That doesn't help the nerves but the fact is
that it is the wisest option for you.
Mrs Whyte The Dental Hospital are lovely
I had an extraction under sedation a couple of years ago (I am terrified of
dentists), but the dentist and nurses made me feel relaxed and it was all done
so efficiently I did not realised it happen. I hope you have the same experience
xx
Mr Mull I loathe going to the dentist
as it ticks so many of my dyspraxic/asperger's boxes. I'm a wuss too when it comes to pain but I've
had a toe amputated and that was much less anxiety inducing than visiting a
dentist!
Kentishlady You are braver than me. I've had a broken tooth for a year. Sheer terror has stopped me getting it
treated.

It was pain that drove me to it. As
long as it didn't get infected I was ok.
But when it did - Glory Be! - so I had to go
for antibiotics if nothing else. And
once they've got you in their grip ... Actually both the dentists at that
practice are really lovely. I've had fillings and crowns but this was just a
step too far.
The tooth was finally taken out under deep sedation on 29th June 2022.
I remember nothing between
the drugs going in and coming back to myself in another room.
Brilliant.
