I have another dentist appointment coming up next week. I've been a dental phob my whole life, but now I can get through almost any procedure with a good, supportive dental team. However, I've never been able to get past my shame. I'm always ashamed to even be seen in a dental office, let alone leave anyone work on my teeth. But that shame is magnified beyond description if I need any work done. I feel like I'm such a dental health failure. My fear is that I will face the humiliation of needing more work done. Does anyone else feel this way, and how do you deal with it. Sometimes I feel like it's killing me. The shame is far worse than any procedure at this point.
