And I've rescheduled appointments for 1 year now but can't get the courage to go. I'm scared to go and now I'm scared that if I don't go they will not book appointments with me anymore. Help.

Hi Autumn Forest--
I relate to your dental anxiety due to a combination of a variety of dental issues throughout my life, in addition to my anxiety. Not every dentist I have seen has been open to it before, but some utilize sedation. Is that something you would feel comfortable proposing? bookmadness |

Yes sedation is an option, speak to your surgery about it. Also can you take someone with you?

My place doesn't offer sedition and no one will come with me. I'm just going to have to be my own support.

I am sorry! I was not trying to ignore your prior advise, especially since you are a dental nurse. I was simply trying to relay something from my own experience. I'll be more careful with the prior threads in the future. bookmadness
