Im 51 yrs old. Im terrified of dentist.
Because of a bad exp. I had with one when
I was 5 yrs old. Basically I wouldnt let
the dentise pull my tooth. He sent me to
a oral sugeron. Who climed on top of me
to hold me down while his nurse strapped
my arms and legs down. Then they gave me
chlorphorm to knock me out. The oral
sugeron pull all my molars. About 10 pm
that nite, my mouth started to hemorage.
And I had to get rushed to the hospital.
Now 46 yrs later. I have the worst teeth
in the world. 3 that need to be pulled.
One that every once in awhile will get
abcessed. I go to the local hospital when
that happens.
Im just getting tired of my teeth hurting
all the time. I wish they would just fall
out and get it over with.
Could anyone please give me any help or
infomation. That might help me?
Ive been looking into a natural (herb)
type of liquid that you put on the
affected tooth or teeth that will help
with the infections.

You can share your concerns with you
dentist. If your that scared they can
put you to sleep. Whatever the pain, it
will all be worth it. Lack of dental
care can have an impact on your overall
health. I think everyone hates to go to
the dentist. Rest assure, you will be
all right. Take care and make that
appoinment.

Salt water kills infection, but the
bacteria can cause problems with your
heart. There have been studies that link
tooth decay with heart disease. Also,
having continuous dental infections can
weaken your immune system and make you
suseptible to all kinds of illnesses. It
is hard on your body to continually fight
infection. That being said, I am so sorry
about your experience with that horrible
surgeon. I can certainly see how that was
traumatic for you and why you have a fear
of dentists. But, all dentists are not
created equal. Ask around. People will
tell you if they have a good dentist who
doesn't hurt them. Also, tell the
selected dentist's staff of your fear.
There is such a thing as a painless
dentist, you just have to ask his/her
patients. I urge you to seek out that
caring doctor and have him make a dental
plan for you. You only get one set of
teeth you use for the better part of your
life, and it's hard to eat steak without
them. Even if you end up getting
dentures, it would be easier on you and
your health to have them extracted rather
than suffer them out, one at a time. I
know you can do this because you will be
proud of yourself when you do and you will
be free of painful toothaches and harmful
infections. Now, go rinse with salt water
and begin your search and keep us posted.
You won't regret it.
