I had not been to a dentist for 30 years following some horrendous experiences as a child. As you can imagine my teeth were not in the best condition! They did not hurt so I did nothing about them.
Obviously this could not go on forever,and in September 2007 this state of "bliss" came to a very painful end. The dreaded mortal toothache (what a limp term "toothache" is!)
I had already found this site, and had promised myself that "oneday, oneday" I would use it.
That day had come and so had a problem with the website! So I sent an email and received an answer the next morning. The nearest on the list was Douglas Miller dmteeth@aol.com or 0208 446 3931. I have a friend who used to be a dentist, now a doctor, I rang him him and asked him to look at the website (www.douglasmiller.co.uk) to see if he had any ideas and they trained together! Well that was good enough for me.
Douglas and his team could not be better, from the moment you walk in the door they are kindness itself, no judgement, no pain and very patient. You always get a follow up call from Douglas and you can ring him up to 9pm if you have any problems following treatment. IV sedation is the only way anything useful can be done to me, between a strong gag reflex and fear of dental injections/drills, this is not a problem, in fact nothing is a problem!
I cant reccommend them highly enough and thats after root canal treatment, a host of fillings and the extractin of an old stump and a wisdom tooth.
If this helps anyone overcome their fear before being forced into it as I was I will be a very happy person!
If Beyond Fear has helped you then please consider making a donation to "Dreams Come True" a charity that has a mission to "To make the most treasured dreams come true for terminally and seriously ill children"
Beyond Fear has NO connection to this charity I just feel that if your life has changed as a result of this site it would be nice to help someone else in return.
