    You havent got any choice, you are going to end up at the Dentists eventually so why not get it over with before it really starts banging smile

    I'd suggest seeing if you can transfer, you're obviously unhappy with your current dentist to the point where it's causing you serious trouble.

    However, if he's the only NHS one and you cannot afford private, you're just going to have to clench your fists and go.

    I'm sure you're perfectly entitled to pain injections etc, and he should be professional and treat you with courtesy and respect, if not I'd look into seeing if you can make an anonymous complaint.

    Many people fear dentists, and if he's being like that, he's making it ten times worse.

    If you have a dental hospital near you, you can go there. Or phone NHS direct and ask for an emergency dentist.
