sccsux Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Once the injection is over Injections aren't the problem as they shove a needle into a vein in your arm for sedation. If needles were a problem, then I would be needle phobic, which I'm not. it's not that unpleasant It is if you're dental phobic:(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampent Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I've been dental phobic since I was very young (now 44). I too used to have to go to CC's (I wasn't registered with a dentist) for sedation, until the last time I went and ended up with tiny slivers of broken tooth coming through the gum a few weeks later. After suffering with (yet another) infection, I eventually managed to register with a dentist (Limbrick Road) that offered sedation (there's only 3 or 4 places that do this in Sheffield). Ended up having a massive amount of work done at Firth Park. Best move I ever made. Brilliant people, first class work:thumbsup:. Top post. I live in bloody fear of dentists. Having had a nightmare experience in my early teens. But, you just worried me now. Where in Sheffield can you have sedation, and will they take more clients on? Thanks.

Agent Orange Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I suffer to a certain extent. I have recently plucked up the courage to go to a new dentist... for first time in ages. I know I need a few fillings, but if I don't go now it will only get worse. They may have to sedate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sccsux Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Where in Sheffield can you have sedation, and will they take more clients on? Thanks. The two NHS surgeries that do sedation (that I know of other than CC's) are at Firth Park and one at Heeley. If you can register with a dentist (any) then they can refer you to one of these two clinics who will the do an assesment and perform and necessary work. I registered at Limbrick Road (having used their services - not dental - previously) and it took nearly 18 months from registration through to work completion (due to the need for referral and other checks into your health, then you have to wait for a slot to become available). Was still a bit "twitchy" in the waiting room and whilst awaiting sedation in "the chair", but that's only to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat86 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I sympathise, I have a massive phobia of dentists. I went to charles clifford and explained how scared I was and they sedated me for work doing. I went to charles clifford 9 years ago..and havent been to a dentist since... absolutely horrible put me off completely. especially as there was nothing wrong with my teeth just had too many!

Think I'm going to get tanked up before entering the chair next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many do you have? I just counted mine, but lost count due to Bernard phoning me again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
