My DD has an increasing and now overwhelming fear of injections.
Her appointment for orthodontist treatment has come up - she needs 2 teeth taken out (to make space) before they can start. Appointment is booked for moulds etc on 18th September.
She is hysterical at the thought of having 2 teeth out.
She didn't have the HPV jab at school - she was hysterical they couldn't do it.
She needed a filling last year, our lovely kind dentist did it slowly and meticulously without anaesthetic as she just could not stop shaking whenever he picked up the needle.
This has gone beyond "talking some sense" or bribing her.
Any suggestions - she needs the teeth out urgently or we lose the NHS treatment.
