Three weeks ago, I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled under general anesthesia. I was VERY nervous going into the procedure...was crying before they put me under etc... but I pulled through just fine.
Now I have to see the same oral surgeon again to get a TAD(Temporary Anchorage Device) put in to help correct my overbite. And yes, I HAVE to see the same surgeon because he's the only person that does TADs in my area. I was told that it's a simple in-office procedure...(it'll only take 10 mins. or so).
The surgeon is very good and I've heard many good things about him from my dentist, orthodontist, and other people I know. But when I went to his office last week to pay on the bill there, I felt very nervous just when he walked past me in his office. My heart started racing and my hands felt cold...same feeling I felt just before I got my wisdom teeth pulled.
And I'm just surprised that I'm this nervous. I'm a naturally confident person and I've only had good experiences with my dentist. I don't have any phobias, either.
But anytime I go into the surgeon's office, I just feel SCARED and anxious. I have a few questions about the TAD but that I posted under the Dentistry section of this forum....I'm too afraid to ask the surgeon myself. I guess I don't want to ask him too many questions as I gave him a hard time when he told me I have to get my wisdom teeth pulled. I doubted his knowledge etc etc....so I don't want to be more difficult then I already am.
I can't believe I'm just so afraid about all of this...and I never thought I would be posting about this. How can I stop being so nervous about seeing this doctor? Please help!!
