Re: Dentist?

If you do NEED a general anaesthetic then any dentist has the power to refer you on to the Hospital for Dental treatment, where a general anaesthetic can be given for dental work.
I know this is a fact, as just over a year ago this was offered to me by one of the NHS dentists at Accrington Victoria.
I had not been to a dentist for 42 years, and i think it is fair to say that I was a pretty nervous patient.

The NHS dentist talked me through what was needed and offered me several options....hospital treatment with a general anaesthetic was one of those options....deep sedation was another.
My advice would be to ring NHS Direct and see if you can get on with one of the Dentists at Oak House(near the new Pals Medical centre).
I hope this helps....and Good luck.
