Not alone!: You are not alone: many patients who are afraid of dentists end up having abscess and visit dentist. Please know many great improvements have happened in dentistry. As a result, many of these fearful patients have found the treatment was not as bad as staying home and thinking about it. Please find a caring dentist and share your fear. After then all will be better with his/her care.

Sedation: Please get sedation. You will need to be healthy and get clearance from your medical doctor. If there are any medical concerns this needs to be discussed. If you are healthy, sedation will be great for you. The types are oral or IV sedation. Depending on your situation both options can be discussed. Ask your dentist about this.
