I had been having sedation dentistry, but now I cannot afford to do that. I don't take the injections very well. I usually cry as they are so painfull. I don't know why they are more painfull then they aught to be. It has been that way my whole life. I am shaking this morning and in tears as I mentioned. My old dentist wouldn't even see me until dec. as I hadn't been able to go in on a regular basis. I have had 8 surgeries and my health is in terrible condition. I have barretts esophogus and can't swallow well, and now I can't chew well to be able to swallow. I am loosing weight and sleep over this whole issue. The old dentist that wouldn't see me, said he would have to start me over as a new patient, with all the new expenses. I chose a dentist near to home who does not use sedation, so I am petrified and sick.
What can I do to calm my fears, I need compassion from this new dentist. ginnie
