I am getting a filling tomorrow behind my two front teeth. I have a permanent retainer behind my four front teeth and it made it nearly impossible to floss, so...I got lazy with it, I guess.
Now I have to get the filling tomorrow.
I'm so, so, so terrified. I have a total phobia of dental injections, and this is TOO MUCH for me. I'm humiliated about the cavity already (it's small, but STILL...), but because I get so worked up and panick-y about needles they've agreed to put me out for it. I'm not sure if it's GA or just sedation. I'm even more humiliated that I need to be asleep for any of this to happen. I've tried sedative pills before and they just made me more anxious. I've tried just getting needles and calming myself down, being distracted by a TV or music, being pressured and being given support and none of it works. I'm afraid that they'll have misunderstood me and it WON'T be GA but just a sedation (like laughing gas) and I'll end up panicking and crying everywhere. I'm terrified. I'm afraid of it so much. I can't take the pain, and I just can't stand the idea. And I'm afraid that if they aren't willing to put me out with GA, I'll end up calming down and sucking it up enough for one, but they'll need multiple and it'll be worthless. I just need support, or ideas to calm down! Or even a story about how it all turned out okay...I'm so humiliated. :S
