I everyone I am new here and I'm hoping you all will help me gain some courage.
I have been putting off going to the dentist for a couple of years. I am now about to turn 19 so my insurance will go away next year. So of course I need to get them fixed now and of course very nervous. Also I am a very nervous person and a working though social anxiety. I'm also improving but still not a fan of the dentist.
I don't think my teeth will need much fixing at least. I have a small chip in one of my eye teeth ( I think it is called that). Then 2 different small holes in my 2 farthest upperleft side. These 3 are all caused my gingivitis so these aren't big but can get worse. Then my worst one is the second to last one on the bottom right. The part that faces the back tooth is gone but the sides are there, a little less than a forth broke off. None of them hurt and I don't think any of them have any black in them. I can get pick the with a tooth pick with no pain. (yes I know I shouldn't do that)
Anyway the thought of the dentist makes me want to throw up. I even shiver and shake when I think about it. I hated the last time I went because the dentist used a new xray thing on me that touches the back of your thoat and I can never do that again. I also hate the block think that keeps my mouth open, for some reason it makes be freak out.
I am going to try and go to a smaller town dentist because I think that it might make a difference and they won't use all the new toys on me. I just hope that they have happy gas. I hears most are switching to a pill, is it any good?
If anyone can give me any courage or advice I would really apreciate it. Thanks in advance!
