How do i get a dentist to accept me as a patient? i do not freeze so i must be put under general anesthesia and am losing all my teeth because i can't get anyone to see me even when i had an infected tooth so bad that my knee surgery had to be cancel

Sedation dentist? : Some dentists do procedures with sedation, but the majority do not. If you need teeth removed, find an oral surgeon. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons are all trained in general anesthesia as part of their residency.
