As for Rescue Remedy, I bought some today and there is no warning in the enclosed leaflet about taking it with other medication though if it does conflict I think it's more the alcohol ( 27% :shock: ) in it than the herbs
tastes fecking great ! :thumbup:

It's only very very recently that they have started tightening up the labelling on herbal medicines and supplements, so it's definatley worth checking. Sites like the BNF online state which supplements and herbal medicines interact with particular drugs, but I can't find a site that can be accessed without an Athens password (and I can't remember mine and can't have a relacement sent to my home email account sad

Well I bought that Rescue Remedy and went off with my nerves in my throat this morning to see my new dentist. After squirting enough of the stuff under my tongue to put me over the drink-drive limit I was still a little nervous but not as much as I used to be.
Not sure if it was my dentist who actually put me at ease or the Rescue remedy so the jury's still out on that one.
Got a few more visits coming up so let's see how I feel next time I go.
Good luck with yours Alex kiss

Alex you will be great! Honestly, as long as the dentist knows you are nervous you will be in good hands lol

The thing I have found (both as a patient and those dealing with patients) is that the turning up counts. It's the hardest part.
Injections are painless. The drill sounds dodgy but it's there to help fix things.
Ask your GP about a sedative to get you there, but the Bach Flower remedies are also great biggrin

I had my tooth extracted with conscious sedation at 1pm today, just thought I would give you all an update of how it went.
After sitting in the waiting room for over half an hour, seeing younger patients coming out crying, my brother in law had to practically sit on me so that I wouldn't bolt out of the door confused

Eventually my name got called and I walked into the treatment room with trepidation. My dentist was very reassuring, gave me gas and air to relax me. The anaethatist placed the venflon in my hand, and that is the last thing I remember. I was then aware that I was in the recovery room and 15 minutes later, I was escorted home. The procedure had slight complications as the Dentist was unable to remove the tooth and had to ask another Dentist to assist him. They cut my gum open and removed as much of the tooth possible and consequently, I have stitches in my gum.
Apart from looking like a hamster with a swollen left cheek and nasty pain down the side of my face, I am so relieved it is over biggrin

.
I would definately recommend conscious sedation to dental phobics like me.

Alex, I'm so proud of you for going through with it. kiss

Give yourself a pat on the back for being very brave ( I'd do it for you but I do tend to grope :twisted: ) Now you can relax knowing the worst is over :thumbup:

Here's one course of action that always ensures a pain-free visit to the dentist.
As soon as he leans over to commence working on you, grab his knackers and say to him ' Now then mate, we're not gonna hurt each other are we ? '
Its surprising just how gentle he will be lol
