Its all to do with not being in control of my breathing whilst the dentist is doing his job. I get very panicky as last time I had a filling in one of my top teeth the anaesthetic also anaesthised my nose making it very difficult to breathe at all. Sounds daft I know but thats what happened. Anyone out there any tips for me on how best to control my… read more
I have always disliked going to the dentist. Big time. But now things are so much easier, that I don't dread it. I forgot to mention earlier that I had a crown about a year ago, and asked for (and… read more
