Hello, I am new to Dental Phobia. I just went to the dentist on Nov. 6th in 7 years and I completely freaked out for the first time in my life. I am from New Jersey and moved to Florida in 1998. I broke a tooth and in alot of pain. I knew I needed alot of dental work done and with no insurance, working part time crap jobs here in Florida I have not gone.
Anyway, I had a complete anxiety/meltdown at the dentist. I suffer frm anxiety and mental health distorders which run in my family. I am not on any meds or see a therepist cause the Mental Health Center here closed my case and several other people.
Being I have no insurance and not disability for my mental health disorder cause I can work I don't get any help for my anxities or phobia which I discovered at the dentist.
Monday, Nov. 10th I go for extensive work on my mouth and I have a gag reflex which the dentist wants me to take a valium. I have trouble swalloing pills as well.
I dn't know what to do!!! Could you suggest something?
Thanks,
