Depends on the problems associated with your tooth ache...see the DDS.. they are quite reasonable...

UPDATE: I had the procedure, Crowns for the two front Incisor. Thursday 14 March... No meds, just tried to accept the discomfort and deal with it the best I could. I Took Tylenol 500mg tab X 1 for a headache... Then listened to music as the DDS and Staff worked on my teeth.. they were caring and explained well. They provided the TLC required and I was relaxed. I tried to read up on all the self-help strategies for Dental Anxiety and that seemed to help. I think the office environment, staffing and the general feeling of the office helped. The office was spacious, with cool color schemes; the procedure room size was big, and overlooked a visually comforting garden with pleasing flowers.. It seemed the staff made the office and procedure as easy as possible. Phew... Cheers mates.

There is One and only one dentist I use in BKK and thats because I can get IV sedation, Ive had this for over 30 years in the UK and here. I have found no other place that does it . Some people write bad things about this practice, and they certainly arent cheap but I dont care as long as I get IV sedation . It costs about 5000 baht the person who does it teaches it at a dental school, she speaks english is I guess around 45-50 yrs old. After youve had IV sedation you will never use anything else. Asavanant is the name , look it up. Youy will have to have a blood test at the hospital and general check up before you do it and they also check a few other things, none of which I had to do in the UK which I find funny as everytime i have it they request this. I do realise you say non sdedation butn ive never found anything that helps
Thanks for the referral.

CBT would work (if you worked at it) but would take a lot of time. It is meant more for anxiety disorders in general not to get someone through a specific one-time procedure.
For that, the recommendation to see psych and get a cript for a tranquilizer seems reasonable and certainly less expensive (and safer) than trying to get this done under IV sedation.
UPDATE and a little confused: Saw the Psych MD... and his recommendation was not what I expected... He proposed a 3-week course of therapy for the panic attack episode.... not the syndrome... He prescribed (Trade names) Prozac, Klonopin, and Xanax... all three highly addictive. His rationale was he was not sure how I would react to a medication the day of the procedure.....well ok... However, in my layman's opinion, I felt all three treated panic attack, and I felt it was an overkill. I was not thrilled about taking those Psych Medications for that long and with those tapering protocols. I just wanted something to calm me the day of the procedure... That is what I thought was acceptable, however, that was not the case in the Psych MDs treatment plan. As a result, I will suck it up at my next DDS appointment for the crown procedure... I am not going to take those meds...

As indicated by others, you need to take action first... Of course, you will wait, wait, and wait... and the Ajaan Laughs all the way home... reverse this... get the press on your side.. look at that Swiss national.... plenty of press right now, causing some action...
All the best mate.

I also hate going to the dentist.
About 7 years ago in the US I had a few fillings done.
I mentioned my disdain for novicaine injections. Once I had a tooth filled with no pain meds or injections. (Never again).
So this time, the doctor pinched my cheek where the injection was going to happen, and shook my cheek vigorously for a minute, then did the injection. I swear, I felt noting at all.
Not even a pinch. I was amazed to say the least.
Mention this to the dentist who will do your work.
If they are unaware of it, find a newly educated dentist.
My niece is a pediatric orthodontist, and she said she uses the procedure all the time.
Thank Peter A.. that is a new one for me. I will ask the DDS about this when I am ready for the procedures. Saw a new DDS and I explained my situation... He seemed to understand. He spoke English ok and was a bit more friendly and showed me the issues on my incisors. I felt a little better about this... I have one more day to decide, however, I am inclined to go with see the Psyc MD for an Rx of anti-anxiety meds (2-3 tabs). Thanks for the suggestions and insights...

Greetings, especially Sheryl,
I seem to have had an acute panic attack when going for a crown on the front incisor. I've checked the www and the BKK Dental hospitals (Very Expensive). What seems to be the best approach to reduce dental anxiety? It has been suggested to see the MD (Psyc) for an Rx of Anxiety medication (Valium) and take this before the procedure. Of course, have someone drive you to the office and back. It has also been suggested for the distraction technique, listening to music or an audiobook. I don't think the imagery and CBT is going to work for me. Are there any options?
I know time to buck up... Any suggestions?

All the best. Do whatever you need to do to wake up the next day.
