[robynnicholson]

hi Lawman....Did someone in Anxiety Support say you could not be helped?? If they did, they should not have , everyone can be helped..Do you have a question or issue perhaps I can help you with

[Hidden in reply to robynnicholson]

Yes posted anxiety as I've dental phobia and I've an appointment next week I explained why they told me I can't be told what to do here only my dentist or doctor can

I do know that what I was looking for was kind support on how to manage the crippling anxiety

I have a bad dental phobia which is worse than gad I just felt anyone reading her reply would run form this group as it wasn't good for anxiety sufferers to read

[robynnicholson in reply to Hidden]

oh dear Lawman..I too hate the dentist and have panicky feeling when I go..luckily I found a dentist who knows I have a bad anxiety and gives me a little clicker devise to click if I want him to stop what hes doing...maybe ask dentist for this?

Thankyou

I'm having a deep clean so having concious sedation I'm worried as my tongue is swollen at the back and with sedation I'm warey is it safe

I posted if anyone had had this

[Cat33 in reply to Hidden]

Yes sedation is very safe you will be wide awake but you won't know or remember anything about it 😉

Robynnicholson, Oh I like that idea of using a clicker device. Have to tell my dentist about that. thanks for the input

[Cat33 in reply to Hidden]

Oh my goodness that's awful We all understand on here Don't leave

Dental phobia is so common and of course it can can be helped Yes the dentist or doctor can advise you more than us but we can support you

Now don't you worry your dentist will be kind and I'm sure you will come out feeling great I've had sedation at the dentist it was wonderful

Lots of lovely deep breaths

I would imagine there are Relaxation videos on YouTube for dental phobia as they seem to cover everything on there

Don't let one person put you off Come on and post how you got on Dentristy now isn't like it used to be and remember you aren't alone

Good luck 😉

Hi darling, maybe none of us can be helped, we have to do it for ourselves, and it is a struggle, god only knows how we get to this point, but I do know that the only way is up and that's what we have to do. Am thinking of you and with you all the way with the strain. Just hang in their little soldier you have too much to lose. How do we know there is any better place than this. Hahaa!! I will make you laugh, have struggled 4hrs and done in with all the airport and procedures just to get a bit of sunshine, but no it is p.....g down and is going to all week, wtf, who can I blame, nobody, it is part of what we have to go though, the good with the bad. So paint a little smile and don't leave the group, I know some of it makes you feel worse, but there are some worse off than us so that should make us feel better right? All my love and big strong cuddles from Mom.x

I'm afraid of the dentist myself. What I had to do was go to many many different ones until I found a really nice understanding one. She asks every few minutes if I'm ok or if I need to take a break from the work she's doing. I had 9 cavities filled by her in one sitting once. Try a different dentist if you feel the one you are seeing isn't very understanding about your anxiety.

Who said you couldn't be helped hun

Next time you get your teeth cleaned ask if they have the ultrasonic machine. I used to dread going to the dentist and have to use gas for cleanings, but with this new machine I enjoy it and no longer need the gas. No scraping involved!
