Hi guys,
I've been lurking on this forum for the past few days and it has comforted me somewhat so thought I would post a thread. I'm 29 years old and haven't been to the dentist for 12 years because I am absolutely petrified. Just the smell and the colours of the masks and sight of the chair is enough to make me feel physically sick.
I've got an appointment booked for my first check up in two weeks time and I'm so anxious and stressed out about it. It's the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before I (try to) sleep ? I've done some Google searching and found a dentist near me who specialises in nervous patients so at least that's a positive.
I feel like I need so much doing to my teeth (lots of fillings and potential wisdom teeth removal) and I'm terrified of the diagnosis and dealing with all the treatment. At this point in time, I'm mostly worried about the dentist using the explorer and sticking it in cavities and parts of my teeth that will hurt me. Also terrified about the inevitable appointment with the hygienist I'm going to need.
I have dark black lines on the biting surfaces of all my molars (some thicker than others) - does this always mean it is decay?
Sorry for the rant! So scared and hoping to find some support here to get me through it.
