So sorry to hear you are having a bad time and that the nasty dentist is the cause. I sympathise with you totally - the dentist visit is my one nightmare and experiencing panic attacks another - either are quite upsetting but both together is unbearable I would imagine. I will be with you in thought as I can't be with you in person and hope that your next visit proves to be a little easier to cope with, pain free and cheaper!<br />Take care now and keep us posted xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-88747830857338519382012-10-14T03:44:31.852+01:002012-10-14T03:44:31.852+01:00Hi Simone,

Bad enough to have had so many traumatic dental experiences, but the very high cost only adds insult to injury!!!<br />I have had a couple of panic attacks and I know how out of control we feel when they hit us. Not to worry - don't you think dentists, of all people, must have seen their share of panic attacks by patients? I do think that MANY people have great fear of the dentist, myself included!! <br />Take care, <br />Judy xxJudy Hartmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895216025016558102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-13798818026920735882012-10-12T09:33:22.527+01:002012-10-12T09:33:22.527+01:00I understand exactly how you feel Simone.

I am always terrified but make myself go to appointments. Perhaps someone could go along with you to support you? Hope you have a better day today - do something to cheer yurself up.<br /><br />TraceyFunkymonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981677274774220419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-31184228887344394402012-10-12T09:15:46.972+01:002012-10-12T09:15:46.972+01:00Lovely Simone,

A friend of mine started to get panic attacks and was told to breath into a paper bag and put an asprin under his tongue - not something you can do in the dentist's chair - it seemed to work for him. If you go private do you pay an insurance? Another friend who has to have lots of work done on her teeth does this so it eases the costs which can be quite considerable. I broke a tooth the other week and when I went to the dentist was told the cavity was too large to fit a bridge and crown as it would keep coming off and that it would be too 'traumatic' to have what was left taken out!!! No wonder you paniced with all that stuff in your mouth.

I am, I hope, at the tail end of a year and a half dental treatment for gum disease which has caused my many panic attacks too. The worst were the six appointments when the surgeon made incisions into my gums to clean the roots of the teeth. Never again. I have to return next week for a check-up which I am dreading - although the dentist in question is quite lovely - because despite cleaning my teeth for around 5-8 minutes three times a day I still get a spot of bleeding from time to time. I hate admitting I have a weakness. But we all have them, don't we?<br /><br />I really, really sympathise.<br /><br />Stephaniemillefeuilleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608950213999238191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-57147133592404913352012-10-11T23:14:18.537+01:002012-10-11T23:14:18.537+01:00Simone, if you are now going private, does the pra...Simone, if you are now going private, does the practice offer sedation? I had this when I had the tooth out after my 25 years of non-attendance. It knocks you out, so you know nothing about the treatment at all. The only downside (apart from the additional cost) is that you need to have a companion go along with you, because you can't just drive home straight after the appointment. rusty duckhttp://www.rustyduck.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-27636631237024197942012-10-11T22:02:16.951+01:002012-10-11T22:02:16.951+01:00When my son was little the dentist charged me$1000...When my son was little the dentist charged me$1000.

I'd agree with marigold jam. It gets even worse the longer you put it off, and you'll feel a huge sense of relief and achievement when it's all over and done. You can do it. <br />rusty duckhttp://www.rustyduck.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1286816260772009427.post-6877278325845118542012-10-11T19:24:30.046+01:002012-10-11T19:24:30.046+01:00Sorry to hear this Simone, now will you think of m...Sorry to hear this Simone, now will you think of me as a weird person if I tell you I like going to the dentist?!
