The words that you use are marvellous , Im free !
Now you need to get rid of the reminder of that time in the form of your broken tooth ,
You need to find a dentist on the NHS that can refer for sedation to a facility . Some do it themselves , others know where to send you once a diagnosis has been made .
There are special centres in most areas .
Its also a possibilty to ask for a referral to an oral surgery dept of the hospital to have a GA if you cant manage a local anesthetic .
You have to get through a series of steps , find a dentist , make the call , go there , let someone have a look , and take it from there .
The first steps dont involve any physical dentistry , but you have to get through those anxious feelings to get to your goal .
