Hello there, I am very very very frightened of dentist I havnt been since I was younger and I’m now 24 my teeth are in a mess but I just can’t find the courage to go to the dentist or even ring them but my teeth are really getting me down .. I have nightmares about them and about going to the dentist, it’s constantly on my mind … Could you offer me any advice or any place in Nottingham that deals with phobic patients i think I may need to be put under sedation to have any treatment
Thanx for taking the time to read this it really does mean alot

hello doctor,

i have never liked the dentist at all! and after a recent visit my dentist tells me that i need root canal treatment, which i know will involve needles. I really, really hate needles and i wonder if there are any options for helping me deal with the pain of needles? I know that i need the treatment but just the thought of a massive needle sticking into my gum just makes me feel physically sick!

thank you for taking the time to read this and i hope to hear from you soon

Hi, I have a dental phobia due to the main reason that I think because have a very overactive gag reflex. Every time the dentist puts anything in my mouth i feel sick and begin to heave. The dentist has tried to help but drug commonly used in sedation does not relax me enough and I am desperate to have some work done, as I have started to get black spots and could really do with getting some fillings before my teeth get really bad. Please tell me what can I do?

Dear experts, I have a really bad phobia on going to the dentist. I even get scared when just making an appointment. I’av not been to the dentist in over 15years and my teeth are constantly sore and very sensitive with black spots. Is there anything i can do at home without needing to go to the dentist? thanks
