For The Attention Of Erin X
13 Answers
You may not go about my saga of my terrible teeth.
Ie - 4 front teeth set on cobalt/titanium but after a year I can't come to terms with the small plate. I seem to sucking on them resulting on ulcers on the upper part of my mouth and elsewhere.
I see you went for Maryland Bridge and this is where I was yesterday discussing it. I hope to go for it next week but it is only preparation but the wee dentist didn't sort take it that I was a very nervous patient. There is no sedation of which I was disappointed. I am so very nervous.
But Erin - was it ok. Thanks for any answers. I do want do get this rid of the plate but don't know whether my nerves will carry me through. Thanks again.

Really do think most dentists do not know the terrible fear of a patient particularly as myself.
Last year another dentist (a private one) knocked me out - she couldn't get a vein in one arm - tried another arm and then on my foot and she popped Valium 10 all to get the sedation in. So I am bad. I'd love to get the nerves to go really for to get rid of the stinking plate. That I have paid £1,000s for. This is only £600. But if I were to come through it it would be so worth it.

I am thinking of taking the valium myself and bring a friend - also I have found some strong mouthrinse - you knows nearly numbs the whole mouth and of course other jels. But I would be afraid of dentist being displeased if I did this.
No Clover - this is my 4th dentist in two weeks. I have just had to pay for the consultation. which has been a bob or two. but I don't care. and I can't tell any of my friends or sista - as they would be cracking up over the money £1,000s I have already spent. sorry for the longwinded post

I used to be like that so I sympathise, couldn't even have a filling without a GA. The maybe good news is that I got over it. I wish I could tell you exactly how but I don't really know. I think I just decided that all the hassle was within me so I was going to tell myself I wasn't bothered by it, and see how it turned out. I had a bad back at the time so I just concentrated on the discomfort that was giving me, and ignored the needles and drills. Anyway, it worked. Since then I've had implants, and even a couple of root-canal treatments where the anaesthetic didn't work - that was definitely unpleasant and yet I still survived.
Maybe you'll be the same some day. The only advice I can give is that things generally aren't as bad as our worst fears. Good luck.

It would be nice to hear even tomorrow from Erin X and of J9Pur.
I am wondering should I research even further and see if I can get the Maryland bridge with a dentist who does sedation. But to be honest wouldn't know where to start and also find out if he is a good dentist. I like this guy but again young and all he was said "no sedation here" - here's me - a wee bit of gas" here's him "as I said no sedation" so there ya go.

Can I say I have been through about 3 or 4 car crashes and walked away.
Fell downstairs over the years and broke my shoulders 3 times and broke my ankle - could go on - cast on and just go on with it (altho still in pain) but I have had many accidents - and just shrugged it off and got on. But when somebody puts their hand in my mouth I just fall apart.
