El,
Sorry your so scared.
Is there ANYone to go with you?
Have you told your dentist all whats wrong with you?
Make your wishes clear from the start. And your fears. They are trained in that kind of stuff too, cuz lotsa people are scared of dentists. Even just for cleanings and stuff. My Mom used to goto a hypnotist B4 dental work!
They do have lots of training.
My dentist is just a regular dentist, but she does extra stuff for me cuz she knows I can't afford specialists.
She's also allowed to prescribe meds.
If its too bad, you could goto hosp. and have it done under anesthetic.
Tooth infections do spread fast, but they seem to clear up fast. Are you on antibiotics?
My kids friends face TOTALLY swelled up, like HUGE, just overnite, but his reg. dentist fixed him up no prob.
I have had teeth pulled, I can still chew. Anything is better than the pain.
Can you take a nice bath?
Do something restful or distracting?
Sometimes just moaning aloud is good.
Hope you can post asap and let us know how it goes.
Take care,
You'll be ok.
