HUGE FEAR OF THE DENTIST!!!?!


Question: HUGE FEAR OF THE DENTIST!!!!?
Hello!. I'm 12 and I have the biggest fear of the dentist!. I feel so so sick when I go and I also have bad teeth which doesn't help! My dentist is horrid to me which also dosen't help!. I can't move dentists because we are on the NHS so we can't lose our place! My nans friend used to be my dentist and he was so nice but now he has retired and I have the new awful one!. Is there anything I can do just to help me calm down and relax when going to the dentist!? My baby teeth have just fallen out and my adult teeth have grown through and they look as if the are growing slightly inwards!. Also, at the back of my gums, there are extra teeth all squished up!. Does anyone know what the treatment is for this!?!? Thank you x x xWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well i admit the dentist can be a little freaky!.!.but really there is nothing to be afraid of!. maybe this story will calm you down, i had a really bad cavity and my normal dentist wasnt in!. and i got a really mean dentist!. he had to fix my cavity! 0_o so i started freaking out!. expecially when he showed me the needle he was going to inject in my mouth to numb it! seriously why would he do that!? he coulndt atleast hide it!? yikes!. i started crying and i threw a fit!. and he was like if your going to cry like that you cant get your cavity fixed and you have to go home in a snotty voice!. fine with me! so i eventually had to go back, and i got my normal dentist back!. he hid the needle and enjected it, and i didnt even feel it! so it doesnt hurt at all!. you fell a pinch, and thats it!. but then i had to get two teeth pulled! i was scared to death but they numb you up, and i swear to god the only thing you feel is tugging!. i asked when he would be done pulling it and he said he already was!. so it sounds like you need those extra teeth pulled!.!. but i promise it wont hurt a bit!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am alot older than you and i am also really really scared of the dentist!. but as much as its hard to admit the only option is to face your fear, and it will be uncomfortable and a bad experience but when you leave you'll be proud of yourself! and in the long run it'll help your teeth!.!. the dentist is only there to help you so go in there calm, talk to the nurses, they are always nice, and just close your eyes and its usually over quicker than you thought!.

I hope this helps you, I had a brother that made me afraid of every thing ( he was 7 years older than me), your not alone! Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Okay, first I have to say that I do understand your fear but you need to know that they are there to help you and it is necessary to go to the dentist!. If you don't go it will undoubtably cause more issues for you later on; cavities and gum pains are no fun!. Is this dentist the only one in the office!? If not then I would request someone else!. If he is then maybe your mom can talk to him and tell him that he should be a bit nicer! My son is 5 and just had a filling done, I had no idea how he was going to react (especially since he needed novicaine and it was his first cavity), but the dentist was really nice to him and made it so much fun that my son didn't even feel the needle and thought the whole thing was great and can't wait to go back!. Dentists, like all doctors are supposed to be friendly and nice! As for the "extra" teeth, if that's what they are then you may have to have them removed so that the rest of your teeth form properly but only the dentist can tell you!. And regarding relaxing during a dental visit, take a book along or a video game and take some deep breaths!. Remember that he/she is there to help you not hurt you!. And in less then an hour you'll be out of there!. Good Luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
