I go to one in wimbledon on pepys road called confident.  I see a guy called dermot.  he is so lovely.  I'm nervous too, but he tells you what he's doing as he goes along, so calming and no nasty surprises. very gentle too.

Your going through exactly what i am i am shamed terrified everything! My doctor put me on to an excellent dentist and he didnt yell he was so nice and freindly and did not say one bad thing about me. I need all mine pulled wisdom too apart from 7 lower front ones. I coudlnt make an app my mother had to, i even freaked out during the xray! My doctor gave me a mild quick sedative that lasts about an hour to calm nerves before they put me under, maybe talk to your local doctor. I have seen the dentist now i feel better but i am still scared and petrified! I can fill you in more about my history if we can contact via email, not sure but happy to tell you what i have done to combat my fear in the last week weeks if it helps you :) Gee my husband doesnt even know how bad my mouth is and i only opened up to my mum 5 weeks ago! Good luck i wish you well (i just have to get thru it first too

Im not sure there is one, but not finding one reminded me of something I read today, "We dont know what your problem is, but if we find out we'll name it after you." Sorry I couldnt help more, I did search though for it interested me. Theres a fear OF teeth though :P.

Ask your general practice doctor for a script for a couple mild sedatives.  I have a friend who's in essentially the same situation, and it's worked well for her.  Otherwise, a small dose of an anti-anxiety med may just do the trick, also.  Make sure you let your MD know what it's for, as he/she may have an even better solution.  :)  Although... I work in a hospital where exams/dental work done under general anesthesia isn't completely uncommon, so you're definitely not alone in your dilemma!  you should try and go before you wind up with a lot of work that needs to be done, though!  Good Luck!

Hello, before i can give you definite answers i need some more information, but will try my best with what you've said.\n\nFirstly, the government in the UK has DRASTICALLY cut down the number of orthodontic problems we can treat on the health service. Now, only severe problems can be treated free of charge on the NHS and there are quotas which we have to meet. Once we reach are quota there is no more funding available!\n\nThe 3 year waiting list you are talking about, is that with a local dentist or through a hospital?\n\nYou should check out the British Orthodontic Societys website which is http://new.bos.org.uk a dentist registered with them should have sufficent credentials. Also look out for  the qualification MOrth which means the dentist has undergone specialist training in orthodontics (the science of braces!)\n\nLastly, getting them done abroad and asking a dentist to do the "check ups" over here is almost impossible. A dentist agreeing to do that would be opening themselves up to alot of problems... what if the ortho isnt what u wanted, what if the treatment plan is incorrect.. who are u going to blame?

There are some dentists nowadays that put their patients under anesthesia even for regular check ups and cleanings. You should look into it in your area, they work especially for people like yourself.

Look in the yellow pages there are actual dentists that work with people that are scared of dentists. When you call tell the receptionists your fears and if they take your type of insurance. If not I think 1-800-DENTIST works all across the country talk to one of their representatives.

I suggest that a GP is not the doctor you need to see.  You need to see a psychiatrist.  You are agoraphobic, and anxiety is the least of your problems.

There is a number called 1-800-Dentist - it can help you find a good dentist in your area and tell you if a dentist has had problems in the past w/ patients, malpractice suits, etc.  Also, I would start calling different dentists in your town or surrounding towns and tell them some of your story...  ask them if they are willing to take on a charity case.  I was a dental asst. and we did this a few times a year to lend a helping hand in our community.  HTH & GL to you!

First make an appointment to go in and talk to the dentist about your fears.  Have him prescribe you a sedative to take prior to the visit such as valium.  During the visit have nitrous oxide administered to relax you even more.  Take along a cd player with you and listen to your favorite tunes while getting your dental work done.  Also, ask around and find a good dentist that has an excellent bedside manner and who is gentle.
