What to do if i am so scared i got my teeth extracted for braces?

Sedation: While tooth extraction for braces is usually very straight forward and often easier than getting a tooth filled, it is a new procedure for you. Consider having your dentist refer you to a oral surgeon who can give you sedation. You fall asleep, and when you wake up it is all over. No mental trauma.

Fear of the dentist?: 30% of the population dread a visit to the dentist, but there are ways to overcome your fear. With a combination of knowledge, expertise, kindness, proper anesthesia and gentleness, dentists can do a lot to make your dental treatment, pleasant, painless and stress free.

Already done?: If extractions not done yet, having teeth removed is uncomfortable but very survivable. And the braces are even easier. No one's ever died from getting braces, although your orthodontist's bad jokes may make you wish that you did. Talk your concerns over with your orthodontic specialist for an explanation of what to expect.
