Just before xmas I saw an article about Dr Mike Gow and hypnosis in the Sunday Mail , I took note of his name and left it at that . After xmas I was on the internet looking for work  and decided to check Mike out and was led to his website . On reading it I saw there was this thing called oral sedation and that started the ball rolling for me.

To put you in the picture dentists needles and pain for me went together and the coward that I am put me off any visit to the dentist . Add to the fact that when I was young a memory of been held down and been given gas at a dentists didn't help . So at the ripe old age of 46 and with what I thought were the worse teeth in the world and the biggest fear in the world I nervously phoned for a consultation with Mike .

So there I was in the middle of January talking to a dentist...who was a nice bloke and he  was listening and was not the type of person I had imagined ( him not sitting with a dentist uniform on also put me at ease ) He understood where I was coming from and he really put me at ease . I told him of my fear of needles and said oral sedation was the only way for me , he agreed and talked me through it. He had me at ease so much that before I knew it I was on the dentist chair and he was having a good look at my teeth , not only that but I got an x-ray as well. That was my first visit to Mike and it was totally PAINLESS . The second visit again PAINLESS was to get an impression of my mouth and to decide what was to be done.

The third visit was on 23/01/09 thats when all the final decisions were made on what was to be done and my weight was took so as the amount of sedation needed could be calculated . Then a date was set for it all to happen ... this was Friday and it was to happen on Tuesday !!! I was a nervous wreck all weekend but that was to be expected .

 27/01/09 ..D-DAY. I was alright at home and going there  but when I got there I was petrified . It was nine in the morning and I thought I was in for a very long painful day . We went into the room and I sat on the chair and he showed me what I was to drink . There was less than a mouthful of this sedation mixed with orange to help the taste (and trust me you just taste the orange). Now this is the good bit...Mike started to chat to me and before I knew it it was 11.45 and he was finished .....new teeth and all . HONESTLY ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN OR MEMORY OF  ANYTHING BEEN DONE ...if anyone had told me this I wouldn't have believed them (in fact I didn't cos mike had already said so). So now I'm thinking here we go with the after effects but suprisingly none. Mike even sent me a text that night to see how I was , a very nice gesture.

The next day was also fine .Mike called me that evening to see how I was but I was out watching the football. All was suprisingly well . It will take a while to get used to the falsers ,but I can put up with that , they're far better than what I had . I can smile now without been embarressed .

Maybe if you are reading this and thinking , like I was when I was reading other stories , this is just a made up story -you have my word its not ... contact Mike and ask to see my pics and hopefully then you will believe . And trust me oral sedation is a PAIN FREE  way of getting your smile back
