Hi everyone, hope you're all well! I'm 18 at the moment and I've been really stressed about these dark pit and fissure stains I have on my teeth so I pushed myself to go to the dentist although I was quite scared to see her and I spoke about it suggesting some sealants, but she was so dismissive and quick she said I shouldn't waste her time when she'd just place some sealants in September? But by then I feel like the teeth will of developed cavities even with a strict regime of brushing, mouthwash flossing good diet etc. I am going back again in two weeks for grinding teeth which thank god she's listened to me about but I don't know how to get her to really listen to me? I've even brought my mum in to speak to her but she says anything that happens to me is and I quote 'my fault for letting my mental health consume my time' as she knows also about my 6 year depression god I am ashamed of myself but I haven't found anything to make it stop it's ruined me and I hate myself deeply for it. I know it sounds silly but I cried after that appointment. It was quite uncomfortable as she has to know about a recent suicide attempt (I'm alright now receiving the right help) and she just shook her head and went on to say how she's not surprised I have four fillings because of it. I felt so empty afterwards I'm sorry I shouldn't be so sad. I don't know what to do everyone my age has perfect teeth I already have four fillings and these horrid stains. How do I get her to listen to my concerns about my teeth? I want to stop fretting about them so.Thank you everyone who read this,also did anyone else deal with not so great teeth at a young age? How did you guys handle it and how can I be more confident about speaking to my dentist?? Thank you everyone <3 <3
