My school friend needed braces but was scared. Normal check ups were OK but no more. Luckily she had good teeth, perhaps because they were well spaced.
She finally plucked up courage for her brace when she was 54. The kids at school thought she was 'dead cool' when she had coloured 'bits' on it. Turned out to be a super job and she says it has made her more confident.

I was going to suggest earplugs, but ...

First, find your dentist. Explain your hearing loss, and make sure you can understand them, preferably when still wearing their mask. Get all your questions answered. Then, sort out a signal - mine always used to say "raise your hand if you need me to stop." When it's time for drilling, remind your dentist of that signal. Then, switch off the hearing aids before the drill starts! If you have to raise your hand, you can switch them on again.

Thanks sue i can still hear without the hearing aids im partially deaf in 1 ear and tinnitus in both ears its murder and everything plays havoc with them i cant even go clubbing and im 21!!!! I'll find a way of getting round it i guess i need to stop being soft, if they made them silent i wouldnt have a problem i dont think
