Case Description
I am such a baby when it comes to pain in my mouth, and even though it's bad I avoid going to the dentist because of the pain. So I am wondering if there is any dentists in Northeast Ohio that will put me under and remove my wisdom teeth and do the other fillings that need to be done?

When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Not very easily. This is due to liability, licensure and expense (out-of-pocket to the patient). The best way is a bond of faith, trust and confidence and then proceed from there. If great apprehension still exists then referrals can be started. There are many qualified oral surgeons that utilize general anesthesia but only for the Wisdom teeth and not general dentistry needs.It''''s best to just start with why is there fear of pain in the first place? Bad past experience? Heavy, non-gentle treatment from past dentistry? Sometimes it''''s negligence on the part of the patient or "fear of the fee." Many times it might be how the dentist treats the patient with care and concern. Therefore it''''s most important for the patient to help the dentist help them; life gets easier from that point on. Hope this helps. It is always of great comfort to the dentist knowing they have helped to overcome "fear of the unknown" with quality care.
