Hi there, I have just joined this forum and am looking for some kind words of encouragement please if anyone reads this.
I recently had my first dentist appointment in 3 years...was sick just making the appointment. Was having tooth ache and desperately needed to go. Turns out nothing wrong with said tooth...I'm convinced the metal filling is causing the pain but nothing on xray. Anyway my surgery says they spealise in nervous patients but I left feeling told off and stupid. He actually said to me 'well what do you want me to do? Fix it and not see you for another 3 years?' No comforting words when I was lying there crying my eyes out and I had to actually ask for the xray! So today I am going back for a 'cleaning and I am terrified I'm going to get the same unhelpful and patronising attitude as last time. I have tartar build up and he said hel give me a good clean then see if any work needs doing. My heart has been racing all day x
