You need to have that abcess tended to immediately!. Many dentists offer conscious sedation!. You don't feel a thing!. I have dentalphobia as well, had major oral surgery and never felt a thing!. Go get it taken care of ASAP!. You can also ask the dentist to prescribe a mild tranquilizer to take before your appointment so you don't freak out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
What will happen is you NEED to go on antibiotics ASAP!.!.people have died from tooth infections!.!.!.you should ask the dentist if they can give you gas or a sleeping pill so you won't be as anxious!.!.if you don't want to take medication try seeing a therapistWww@Answer-Health@Com
Same thing happened to me! When my tooth abscessed, I went to the dentist and she would not touch it because at that point it was too infected!. She referred me to a OMF surgeon!. It would have been worse if I'd waited!.
