Has restored my faith in dentistry and am a step closer to overcoming my phobia
I’m a severely detaphobic due to poor experiences with dentists as a teen. I had subsequently neglected visiting a dentist for over 15 years. However, after breaking a tooth though and getting an infection I was left with little choice. This dentist was briliant. I suffer badly with adrenaline due to blood pressure so they made sure to use an adrenaline free anaesthetic, this alone made a huge difference to me personally as it stopped me from feeling light headed and like I was going to pass out. They gave me two injections to guarantee I was completely numb and after an hour long root canal (the tooth had three of the blighters!!) I left having suffered absolutely no pain and a warning it might throb a little afterward (which is hasn’t).

I do have followup appointments I’m not so worried about now, but do have an extraction to “look forward” to. I’m confident that although I doubt I will find it particularly pleasant, that the dentist will do all she can to put me at ease.
