Im new here, so you can understand my relief when I have read so many other people having my same fears.
About ten years ago is when my fear started, I went to a horrible dentist that didn't believe me when I told him I was feeling pain, he ended up drilling into my bone. The next dentist I went to was nice and I had a root canal and crown put on, BUT, right after the injection, I got really sweaty, and felt sick, then I had heart palpatations, the dentist told me it was from my anxiety, but I think it's from the epinepherane that they put in with the numbing, is it possible to be numbed without the epi in it?
My teeth are so gross to me, I'm embarassed to smile, to talk even to laugh. I have broken and missing teeth, all in the back. In January, one of my nerves got exposed and I was in the worst pain ever, and my husband made me go to the dentist. I cried the entire time I was there. They made a "treatment plan" for me, and I had it in my mind that I was going to get my teeth fixed, but the pain went away and so did my commitment of getting my teeth fixed. Fast forward to last Thursday, I was eating and one of my front teeth broke. I put on a brave face and made an appointment to get it fixed and my appointment for tomorrow. The closer the appintment gets, the worst my anxiety gets, (I also have an anxitey disorder). I even had a dream the other night that I died while I was at the dentist, so now I'm all freaked out that I'm going die while I'm at the dentist. Any words of encourgement would be great, or if you now I can't die from going to the dentist, that would make me feel tons better too. Thanks for listening to my "whine".
