looking for some advice, help and general handholding.
due to neglect and some rather severe dental damage as a youngster i now only have 11 teeth left, all are loose to some degree, several are very loose,
my last lot of extractions (4) turned into total chaos when i had a severe panic attack, so much so an ambulance was called as i had difficulty brathing because of the fear, and that was only after the poor dentist had done the injections.
i have a total dental and needle phobia.
my lovely dentist has suggested i have the rest of my teeth out under a ga in hospital, and then have dentures.
i know this will then stop the pain of sore teeth, tonight's post is prompted by me yet again sitting here in agony and dosed up to the eyeballs on pain killers because one of my very wobbly teeth is hurting like hell.
but i have heard so many stories about people hating thier ill fitting dentures, and to be honest i am terified of having dentures, terrified of having the op and terrified of the dentist. i can't afford to go for privately made dentures,
so please, can some one give me some advice, or can someone tell me that nhs dentures are really ok, and that i will be ok, have got myself in to a bit of a panic just typing this,
many thanks if you have read this far.
