Dental Phobia's

[Emz]

Ferret1959:

You wanna see my dentist.

Just outta interest, where is your dentist based?

 

Ferret1959:

My wife needs valium to just enter the waiting room. Even then I have to forcibly drag her through the door! Thats a dental phobia, as opposed to being frightened that it will hurt!

My friends very much like that

 

Ferret1959:

Emz, my wife was completely unconscious under the "sedation"   ask the dentist about it..

Ye, but what is "Sedation"? :confused:

Ferret, baby, - if I had only once been so thoughtfully cradled before the age of fifty - how different life would have been!!!

i used to be terrified ,so much so that i extracted teeth myself (well any bits that didnt snap of in my mouth) lived on 6 asprins an hour for months and got abcesses so big my eyes shut ,pain pain pain for years.

onday sporting a very big swelling (in my mouth) i went to work ,my old boss took me straight to his private dentist who prescribed antibiotics and made an appointment for 4 days later.

4 days later i went to work full of trepidation and fear (luckily i am VERY loyal and always put work first) at the appointed time my boss told me to go to the dentist (i always obey the person that feeds and houses me) and off i went ,amagine the surprise i had ,an understanding young lady who actually took her time and took my mind off the painfull injection bit by poking her tit in my ear and having the sence not to show the needle to a needle fearer ,in a trice it was over

private you say ,it was then but now i'm NHS ,still a nice young lady (asian and VERY pretty) no sign still of that needle (deftly wielded from out of eyeshot) still that comforting tit in ones ear ,plenty of chitchat before and after ,things have changed nowadays ,gone are the huge needle and into the waiting room whilst a few others were processed in the same way ,no knee in the chest just as the numbing stuff wore off and screams interupted the dentists work

if i a REAL dentist hater of 20 years (of not seeing one) can overcome his fears ANYONE can ,yes it still hurts a little but only a little but nowadays dentists have no fear for me

See, Chesters - I always told you not to be afeared of wee pricks - ( it never stopped you rabbitting on about them, though).

[chesters1]

i did state i have a female dentist so small pricks dont enter the equasion a maybe nips would be closer and not so small

[little onions]

So you're having them extracted one by one? :cool:

I tripped and fell teeth first onto a chest of drawers. The two front teeth were put back in place, glued into a nicer position than they originally had and a week later, I had root canal treatment. It was a dawdle...seriously.

I also has wisdom teeth taken out recently, which according to everyone I knew, was supposedly worse than meeting the Devil himself. This was also a breeze.

I used to be terrified of the dentists and I had to go on the first occasion because I had a nasty furniture related tooth extraction. Think about how wound up I was.

The dentist is a totally different place than even I remember and I'm only 31. Things have changed A LOT in recent years.

I'd go back in a minute just for the Karma and the obvious nice lady dentist's breast in my ear.
