Visitor asks:
Hello. I am 26 years old and have not been to a dentist for 10 years. I do not have a problem with fear of pain, but I have other problems: excessive sweating, tremor and vomiting. Last week I went to the emergency dental service and they could not help me because I could not calm down at all. They therefore advised me to find a dentist who could treat my teeth under general anaesthesia. I would need two fillings and probably one tooth extracted. What are the possibilities for putting me to sleep and doing this treatment? I am from Kranj and would gladly come to you if such a procedure is possible. I would also like to know the approximate price. If you do not perform this, could you recommend one of your colleagues in the Gorenjska area? Thank you very much in advance for your answer.
Kind regards, Dejan
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir!
You apparently suffer from extreme anxiety or fear of the dentist. The signs you describe are a consequence of negative emotions before or during procedures. Dental treatment under general anaesthesia is possible, but procedures carried out in such a state are strictly radical (procedures completed in one phase and not requiring repetitions or continuation in a second phase): tooth extraction, filling. Root canal treatment and prosthodontic rehabilitation are not feasible in this case. In any event, before treatment under general anaesthesia we would try treatment under the influence of sedatives and tranquillizers, because so far we have always managed to complete treatment in this way.
Have a nice day!
