I had a temporary filling put in a few weeks ago, was meant to be a regular filling but because of dental phobia I had to be sedated. The sedation didn’t work and so they just had to do what they could and stop as quick as possible because I was so distressed (I don’t remember anything but I was apparently trying to run away, rip out the needle in my hand and was getting aggressive).
Anyway half of it’s just come out, it’s quite painful and is very rough and is hurting my tongue. Only problem is tomorrow I would have to take my children which I’ve never done because it would be horrific for them to see the state I get into. There’s literally no one to look after them so I feel like I have a 3 choices
- Take them hope that the receptionist will watch them while I’m having it fixed and risk them seeing me a complete mess (am so worried about passing the phobia on).
- Wait until Monday afternoon when a family member can have them but that means staying in pain and risking infection as there is a big hole.
- Getting some of the temporary filling stuff from boots and trying to fix it myself until I can get to a dentist.
What is the best option going to be? Please don’t suggest just taking them and trying to man up about it, it’s literally uncontrollable and I’m seeing a psychologist to try and get it dealt with.
