Hi. I'm really glad I found this forum and I've been visiting every so often but not found the courage to type a message. I have a severe phobia of dentists. I last went to the dentist when I was about 15. I'm 32 now and have suffered with problem teeth for years. My dentist was the scariest man on earth and terrified me in the chair. I can't help but start panicking whenever i think about the whole experience.
I have some teeth that are ok... mainly at the front so i get away with half smiling and people can't see the mess that my molars are in. Some are chipped, others are just remains and small stubs. I really want to get help... I am starting a new job soon and I just want to focus on that, not on my teeth, which i think about 24/7. I'm just too scared to do anything about it. I'm not afraid of pain... I have been in pain with my teeth for so long. It's the whole dentist experience. I'm also so embarassed about them and just feel like I can't possibly go to see a dentist.
Please help....
