i can travel to croydon as it aint far but does any1 know of any dental practice who may do this in canary wharf/e14 or hackney area thx

Well, I'm not from the London area, so I wuldn't know, but don't worry about the needles. 

I have needlephobia and I needed 10 baby teeth pulled so I feel your pain!  Try to find a dentist who goes slow.  When I went to my dad to get my teeth pulled (he's an oral surgen, don't worry) he went so slowly I coldn't feel a thing.  See, mouth needles are different than regular needles for shots.  Needles that go in your mouth are tiny.  The pain is from the liquid anesthetic being compressed into your mouth at once.  It's not the needle.  I was totally unaware he had already given me most of the shots.

Also, ask for topical anesthetic before the dentist adminesters the shots.  It should numb the surface of your gum and might reduce pain further.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

..I used to work as a dental nurse a few years back now, I know they changed the law on administrating general anaesthetics in dental surgerys after a few deaths, I'm not sure if the law on this has changed since, but then all general anaesthetics had to be done in a dental hospital by an anaesthatist...
