Is there any way of having the socket cleaned to get rid of the peridontal fibres thing without doing anything to the bone? There's no point telling me to have sedation or anything like that because I am phobic of that and being put to sleep. I can barely manage 15 minutes in the dentists chair before I get a panic attack. It is going to be very hard for me to cope with amalgam replacement. I am trying to build up my courage. But I have to get this tooth sorted first. It's a total nightmare for me.
