I live in the United States and have suffered severe dental phobia for years. I was so thankful to find this forum and read all the other stories. I have been 12 years now not going to the dentist. Had some issues with my teeth in the back but in general my teeth actually looked very pretty to most people. Only I knew the deep dark secrets. Then I had some trouble with an active infection in the back of my mouth that caused tremendous pain. I was forever feeling horrible and worrying about my teeth. I finally bit the bullet and went today. I was so afraid and just knew I'd be coming out of there with a full set of dentures. Much my surprise I came out needing only one root canal and a couple of crowns for now. My root cana isl scheduled for Friday and then will have my other procedures in a week or so after that. May need some other things in the future. But it all was much better than I thought. I'm so thankful that I finally decided to make this decision and take care of myself. I am posting this just so others will get out there and do the same. It is such a relief to know that I'm on the road to get in my mouth in better shape.
