ask your dentist about atavan( not sure if that's how it is spelled), they can give you two of these, and you are still awake, but the anxiety is taken away. I used them to have all my upper teeth removed, and am very thankful i did.

Fear of bridges is a relatively common phobia although most people with it do not know they have something called "gephyrophobia." However, the derivation of the word "gephyrophobia" is perfectly straightforward (if you know Greek); it is derived from the Greek words "gephyra" (bridge) and "phobos" (fear).

There is no official name for it- one author writes...\n\n"And by the way, my Greek friends tell me that if I want to coin the term for the fear of the future, it could be 'mellontophobia', which, like most other phobias, is not a desirable state of mind."\n\nSuresh I.S. Rattan is at the Danish Centre for Molecular Gerontology at the University of Aarhus, Denmark\n\nhttp://www.nature.com/embor/journal/v3/n10/full/embor049.html\n\nHope that helps!

Homer used this expression thousands of years years ago in his famous epic poem the Iliad. When you are terrified, your heart starts pounding violently and there's a choking feeling in your throat. Homer reffered to that feeling as having "your heart in your mouth". For centuries that's the way many people have described the feeling of extreme terror or dread.\nMay have mispelled a ton of words, but oh well :P

I believe that teeth falling is a very common dream, one representation in particular is a change in physical appearance...obviously. Maybe your wisdom are growing in, need removal...what have you. The other is anxiety in your life...maybe a situation that you are unable to control (like getting older), or you may feel as though you are being forced to let go of things (like youth) that you don't necessarily know how to let go of.

Herpetophobia (Greek herpeton = to ramp and phobia = fear) is the phobia of reptiles, amphibians or other crawly things. Herpetophobia can be cured through hypnosis or by repeatedly approaching reptiles or frogs to gain confidence until the fear has been overcome entirely. Ophidiophobia is the specific fear of snakes. It can cause nausea and panic attacks and irregular heartbeat. Can be received by watching a TV or movie event when a reptile attacks someone. Also the fear of creepy-crawly things

According to my dream dictionary, losing teeth means financial difficulties.As for the blood, it translates to 'Avoid controversy with friends and family."So I guess, in the big picture, be careful who you loan money to for a while.

I used to have dreams where I lost my teeth sometimes as well, and from what I can understand they can mean several different things. Here are a few of the links I found through a quick google search for "losing teeth dream interpretation":\n\nhttp://predictions.astrology.com/dd/teeth.html\n\nhttp://www.dreamsleep.net/dreamsofteeth.html\n\nhttp://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Teeth/id/232010

We treat a lot of phobic patients.  They start vomiting the day before coming to the dental office.  They are in tears when they walk through the door.  They usually are about to pass out from lack of sleep.  For one real bad case, we let them come in and sit in a dental chair for a visit,  just sit their watching a movie, talking, or whatever.  We looked at her teeth on the second visit.  AFter ten visits and two years or so now she just reports getting nervous a bit. \n\nStill comes in crying though.

Fear is about not having control. Phobias are irrational fears that are  very powerful and hard to get rid of.

First of all, well done you for going!!! That's the first step in overcoming your fear. I totally understand where you're coming from, I'm scared of dentists too and hadn't been for 10 years, then was forced to go because of toothache. Like you, I found out I need a lot of work done, 9 fillings and all my wisdom teeth extracted because of decay. I found that out 2 months ago, and haven't done anything about it because I'm too scared. But now I'm starting to get problems with one of my teeth and it looks like I'm going to need a root canal.\n\nSo I understand your fear, but things WILL get worse if you leave them. Maybe consider sedation dentistry rather than GA? That's what I'm going to look into. Good luck.
