Hi,
I'm 28 years old and I saw a periodontist last last as I have been having problems with bleeding gums, she told me that I had gum disease and that I would need a treatment called root planing to manage this. I am absolutely terried of the dentist and am completely paranoid about it. I have been having anxiety attacks since and have found myself crying all the time.
I am booked in to have this done in a couple of weeks time and they are going to do my whole mouth in one appointment under sedation. I am just so scared of what will happen and what to expect after. I am totally terrified that my teeth will fall out and I just cannot think of anything worse. I have been told that I have a grade 1 mobility in one of my teeth at the bottom at the front and I am terrified that this was fall out.
I am not sure how to overcome this or what to expect during the treatment and also afterwards. My periodontist is lovely and she has been really helpful and told me that if I have this procedure done there is no reason why I my teeth will not last me for the rest of my life, but I just have this fear that this is not true and I am finding it really hard.
Does anyone have any advice or support on how to help me with this?
