Dentists and Mental Health

asmkq

Hi all,

Due to my mental health my oral hygiene has really suffered and is causing me pain. Does anyone know if there are any dentists who specialise in patients with bad mental health? I am also terrified of the dentist and have had bad experiences in the past for judging me for my oral hygiene. I understand where they are coming from but from experience they do not understand people with really bad mental health and what it does.

I'm not sure there is such a thing but just thought I’d ask anyway, thanks all.

Hi I'm not sure what area you live in but maybe if you send a brief email to a couple in your local area describing what you have said here.Im sure you will find a kind,compassionate and helpful dentist willing to help and treat you.
