The last appointment I went to was February 2017 even though I got for checkups every three months not due to poor hygeine, work done on my teeth, I tend to have a build up of plaque and difficult mouth to keep clean. It has taken me 33 years of telling a dentist what I dislike and why I am afraid apart from being embarassed about how my teeth look and the work I have had done.
I told her (since I had dentist 5 years now) it is the sharp objects, and the tools to remove the plaque off even though I know this is important, my dentist asked my mum how can she help me be less afraid. I was afraid when I had an infection, even though she showed me the xray and could see the hyge infection, no being scolded about my xrays, no other problems which needed doing with, no teeth shot to pieces etc. I have had the problem tooth dealt with a root canal last year.
