Ok.. this is my first time posting on this site, first time posting ever and actually reaching out for help with my severe dental phobia
First off i have my wisdom teeth. one is impacted on the right lower.. The two teeth in front of the bottom wisdom teeth are destroyed, no top left. sides cracked. basically gone. and as of late, i the tooth in front of htat one on the right side has a cavity that is getting bigger by the week hole right through. Aside from needing a cleaning and any other unknown problems.. those are the big ones.
Im worried about getting very sick. possibly dying because every once in a while one side or the other gets infected, puts me down for a day or two unable to move, speak, or function because of the pain during those times. Normally they dont hurt at all unless i bite something wrong. From what i know and \have read about dental health. i want a healthy mouth and i dont want to get a bad infection and die.
I have been to the dentist in the past. I managed to get myself together enough to see a dentist that was on a the list thatmy discount dental plan offered. I was shaking, sweating, panicing and barely made it though x rays and an exam. From experiance and research i knew this wasnt a big deal but still barely made it though the exam. I was terrified
Everyone thinks im a totaly whimp, pussy, whatever.. im 26. a guy, i work on fire trucks. and this one thing in my life terrifies me and is keeping me from being otherwise heathy. Right now i cant bring myself to walk into a dentist office, with taking a pill. or gas, or whatever. im fearful to the point of not sleeping at night which affects my work and as my dental health gets worse this cycle seems to get worse.
I dont know what to do. i tried therapy and desensatising therapy,, i paniced and couldnt go anymore. i cried, i shook. i broke down.
What does the pill do if i were to go that route, what does nitrous do. any helping stories? Im in the Huntington Beach area, ca if anyone has a dentist that can help and that they trust.
Thank You
