I finally managed to find a dentist that will see me as an NHS patient. I've not been for years because I can't afford to pay but finally I can get it done for free. I need to have 2 teeth taken out next week. The problem is I'm really worried now because these dentists are not very good. I can't remember what it was they did but they were in the paper for doing something wrong to someones teeth. The teeth that need to come out are right at the back. I remember when I had a wisdom tooth out it was very uncomfortable and seemed to take ages, like about 15 - 20 minutes. I only had a local anasthaetic for that but this new dentist has said that they can give me a sedative as well. He said that I won't remember much when I come round and he advised me that it would be better for me than just the local anasthaetic.
Does anyone know if this is common practice these days? I wouldn't be scared if this was my old private dentist but like I said, I've got no money and I need to have this done since I'm having to take pain killers daily because of these teeth. I'd be grateful if anyone can tell me their experiences with these kind of sedatives. I don't know if I should have it or refuse it. I'm scared of the pain but I'm worried about what they'll do to me if I have the sedative while I'm out of it. I know that sounds stupid but thats how I feel
