Double decker pecker wreckers or zoobies?
Bloody hell, I’m hoping that a couple of fillings and a bit of a polish will be all I need.(Cora had lower jaw implants plus new upper and lower full dentures, and the cost got close to 5 figures!)
Google NHS Community Dental Service for your area then ask your GP fo a referral!!
Gag reflex is another story. My ambition has always been to scuba dive. Unfortunately the mouthpiece of the apparatus triggers a violent gag reflex so that was scuppered. The same occurs when the dentist takes impressions with that pink gunk, not a pretty sight!OK guys, glad to hear I'm not alone - but I've been lucky as I was put onto a service I did not know existed - thanks to an NHS maxillofacial consultant who happens to be my wife's private dentist (but that's another long story).
There's another system called the NHS Community Dental Service for folk like me that have severe problems with dentistry (as well as those who cannot leave home, those in detention etc,.). Basically I not only have severe dental phobia, but also a severe gag reflex that means that for a dentist to do anything other than a very gentle basic inspection, I have to be given deep sedation - and even then the gag reflex still occurs. It's been absolutely fantastic, and as a result I'm more than happy to re-visit the young lady dentist who has extracted teeth, taken impressions, fitted me with small dentures etc - and all at NHS prices. OK, I have a 45-60 minute drive to get to her, and if she's going to sedate me I have to have Cora with me to drive me home (and apparently when I come out of the treatment room I'm "amusing" as the sedative works off) but I'll happily go visit her - and will be doing so again in March.
OK, there are private dentists nearby where you can also have a private anaesthatist to knock you out, but it costs - just the anaesthatist is about twice the maximum I pay for the NHS treatment (about £250). It's probably quicker going private, but OUCH for the cost!! (Cora had lower jaw implants plus new upper and lower full dentures, and the cost got close to 5 figures!)

I know that issue well. My gag reflex is so bad I even have problems flossing my teeth.Gag reflex is another story. My ambition has always been to scuba dive.

You will have your answer when you get one.What is a "mental toothache"?
No idea but I’ve got a toothache that’s driving me mental.What is a "mental toothache"?
I went onto an NHS site that gave me all the dentists in my area. Out of about 30 there were only 3 or 4 that were taking patients and once I phoned them it ended up as only 1.How did you find an NHS dentist? I also don't like dentists and haven't visited one for a long long time. Unfortunately one of my teeth with rather a large filling decided to collapse and just leave a small stump, the tooth behind, which was one of those white fillings also snapped off and I was forced to the dentist after suffering from an abscess on one of the stumps. Could only go private £65 and had both removed at my local NHS dental hospitals because the dentist didn't do tooth extraction. Yet another tooth broke 5 months later and another £65 for a filling. Told me I would probably need a crown £500 I'll wait
