Hi

Even though I’m being seen under a special care dentist I still just can’t continue with having my teeth done like fillings etc because it has such an impact on me and it’s affecting me so much .

I just want them all out like now I can feel one of my gums at the top is a bit swollen !!!!!!!!! I literally saw a dentist last week and no infection I am wondering if this is an hormonal issue because this is getting a beyond a joke now
I think am going too ask them to maybe see if I can have my teeth out I just can’t keep going through al this anymore now
 
I really feel for you :( it's almost like....what's the point. Im back here all the bloody time being injected and drilled to death and none of it has lifted my phobia, made me happier or anything. It's just bought a few weeks/months till my next needly drilly treatment I don't want :(

Where's the light in the tunnel is what you must be thinking .

I'm not often lost for words but I wish there was a way your cycle of sadness and suffering could be solved because of anyone no one deserves it more than you xx

@MagicDuck12 thanks . I spoke to a mental health nurse this morning and said this isn’t fear this is PTSD and I can’t cope with it anymore.

You’re correct why should I keep suffering when it causes me a lot of trauma mentally and takes me ages too recover.

My parents especially my mum didn’t really take me dentist , and then when I tried to go I had nothing but mean comments and treatment from the staff , so I know that my parents are too blame but also the lack of care and compassion also .

Like my daughter just said to me
, if I can then maybe see if it’s an option because I already struggle with every day life and this is just added stress .

If I had the money I’d pay too have them taken out and dentures .


I have never smiled, one of my teeth sticks out at the front and overlaps so for me it would be the best thing they did for me


Thanks for understanding just want this all to end
 
My parents also were neglectful in that sense, they never took me to the dentist. I’m currently working up the courage to speak to a dentist who can be accommodating to my anxiety. I’m only 26 and I have multiple missing and broken back teeth and my front teeth are sensitive and crooked. I’m also low key hoping I can find someone who will agree to just remove them and I can find the money to get implants or dentures and have a fresh start. I really admire you for starting your journey and I hope things get better for you.
