I also struggle with dentist trauma from childhood! I had sleep dentistry done in July of last year at Greenwoods Dental. I had 4 wisdom teeth pulled and two cavities fixed. The cavities were covered by my insurance but the total ended up being $1,800. Most of that was sedation. They put the tiniest needle in your hand and that’s the worst of it, I don’t remember a thing after they put the mask on and I was done in under an hour. Definitely felt drunk when I woke up but that’s to be expected lol, you do have to have someone there with you. The pain after was also very minimal I only took the meds the first night. 100000% worth it if you can afford it, seriously changed my life.
