Hi Everyone! I'm new here. I've been terrified of the dentist for years and years. Only going when I absolutely have to. I woke up last sunday with a swollen face and lots of pain. Went to the dentist on monday and found out it's an abcess. I'm scheduled to have it pulled this friday.
This has caused a lot of anxiety. I know that the tooth needs to go because I've been in an incredible amount of pain but I am so scared and can't stop imagining all the things that could possibly go wrong. My boyfriend was going to be there with me which helped ease my anxiety a little but I just found out that he can't make it because he has a funeral to attend that's taking place at the same time so now I'm really scared.
I've had teeth pulled before however it was oral surgery (wisdom teeth) and I was completely put under. I won't be completely under this time and the though of being away and watching them work really stresses me out.
I called to reschedule the appointment to another day and the dentist is completely booked so there's no way out of it.. I have to go alone. *wish me luck*
