I also have a dentist phobia and not been for 20 years until last year I went with my son for treatment to Gillian Rees and while we were chatting about my son,s teeth I was no sooner and in the chair and then went on to have a 4 teeth bridge and new caps which I could never have afforded in the UK.  To say its changed my life is an understatement.  Phone her on 26610 44495 and she can also give you a prescription.

Hi Clare

They don't give you general anaesthetic in the uk now. I too am terrified of the dentist and always had the general but last year i had to have a tooth out and i had the sedation to me its the same i cannot remember anything at all apparently you are not asleep just heavily sedated. There is a dentist in Acharavi and i thibk but not sure that he can give you sedation maybe someone else may be able to tell you

Hi there,well i have made the first move and contacted the dentist,she called me back and sounded really nice and calming on the phone.

I have a appointment to see her i just hope i can go through with it,i do feel a bit better for talking with her but we will have to see, ...thanks for the offer of coming with me,i think if i try and go the first time myself it might make me a bit stronger,if i dont manage it then i will be in touch,thanks for all your help.

KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR ME,

                                     Clare xxxx

Whoo!!

I thought it was only me.

But yes Claire, they no longer prescribe a general anaesthetic for dental treatment in the UK.

I reccently had a number of extractions in hospital ( the dentist found that he was unable to administer enough pain relief, so reffered me to hospital)? The pain relief  was intravenouse tranquisers, and I had to have a driver to take me home afterwards. I remember little for a conciderable number of hours afterwards, but, hey, at the time, "I felt no needles, nor leaverage of extraction, was not aware of any noises in my head as brute force endeavoured to tear lumps of my body out of me"

I dont even remember the journey home, other than second hand comments as to my verbal tirade towards other road users. (Just dont ask, its too embarrassing)

Just hope you are now sorted. Or at least on the mend.

By the way, I have it on very good authority, (I even concidered going down this route one time) that in Turkey, you can find top quality dental treatment at vastly reduced costs to a top of the range treatment standard, so I imagine that the proximity of Greece to Turkey has a similar standard of care.

Bob.

Hi Claire,

Hope you are getting on Ok with your tooth, you have taken the first step which is often the most difficult.  Dentists seem to get better and better all the time, I remember when I was a child I had a bad experience and am still not keen on the dentist but when I do go I wonder why I got all het up in the first place.  Just think when you get your tooth sorted out you will have a double helping of satisfaction, happy tooth and a happy mind! Go on be brave, it is difficult and I understand how you feel we are all right behind you in spirit if not in body!!!

Hi Clare, did you go to the dentist, and does she do sedation? My daughter lives near sidari and has lost her filling but she is also frightened of the dentist. Last time she came home to have dental work done under sedation, I dont think she will go if they wont sedate her but she has a baby now so its difficult to come home for the dentist.
