I haven't been to the dentist in about 16 years. (I'm 26 years old) My childhood experiences were absolutely HORRIBLE, to the point that I will still occasionally have nightmares about it.
My whole family has severe tooth problems (genetics... we all seem to have very weak teeth). Right now, I have 4 molars that need work (all on bottom, two on each side), and my top two wisdom teeth need work. All of these teeth are severly chipped - one is to the point where it is just a black "stub" sticking out. I *really* want to get my other three molars taken care of before they are totally gone too. Honestly, I would not even care if they pulled all of the chipped teeth and gave me fake teeth in their place.
One of my molars recently chipped off (a few days ago), and now I seem to have a severe infection. Swelling, pain on the jaw line. I'm taking antibiotics that was prescribed for something else, but is commonly prescribed for dental infections also). I NEED to see a dentist. I'm not worried about the pain from the procedure, I'm just absolutely terrified to go let this person look into my mouth. I have panic attacks even thinking about it (and i'm crying like a baby just typing this!)
All of my front teeth are in very good condition (in need of a cleaning, but there is no decay or chips on them), and I want to stop the decay before it reaches them also.
I'm in Ohio, I would appreciate recommendations for dentists in Ohio or Northern Kentucky (or even W.V - Huntington, Charleston general area)
Thanks for listening!
