If I need full dentures, can a hospital do my extractions? I can’t deal with dentists very well.

Justine,
While it is possible to go to the hospital to have your extractions done, it will be extremely expensive. There are ways to have your teeth removed without pain. It is called sedation dentistry. Because I suspect you are looking for some deep sedation, I will recommend two of the strongest levels of sedation:
1. Oral sedation: With this, you’ll take a pill before your appointment.
2. IV Sedation: This requires an anesthetist.
Both methods require you to have someone to drive you to and from your appointment. Every dentist is different as to what types of sedation they offer, so you’ll need to call around.
