Hi. I am new to this forum.
My teeth are so bad and I really want them fixed. Was hoping for support and advice from others in the same situation.
Here is a little about myself. I am 31 years old and have a terrible dental phobia. I rarely went throughout my childhood and lastbtime in went was years and years ago. Well last year I plucked up the courage to register with a dentist for a check up. He said eight bottom teeth and one top tooth are OK. So nine teeth are OK but I need the rest extracted. He booked me in to go back two weeks later but due to my dental fear I didn't go back.
My self confidence has really taken a knock due to my teeth. I have a big gap in my front of my mouth. I rarely smile beczus I'm embarrassed to show my teeth.
Anyone else also have this extreme phobia and reallybwant their teeth fixed??
Any tips for easing the phobia?
I'm also worried that when I do go to the dentist he will judge me due to my horrid looking teeth.
Dentist I had last year wasn't understanding at all about my dental anxiety so I obviously will be changing dentists. But ibreally can't even bring my self to go. Even thinking about it sends me into a panic.
Also the fact I will be 31 years old and wearing dentures.
Thank you
