Yes let us know how it goes hopefully Andrew can see if it’s all healing well or whatever is going on with it. At least you’re going back and that’s a massive step.
Thanks I am back on 21st for check up but my regular dentist left in the previous lock down and I’m seeing a guy I’ve only seen once before . Getting a bit stressed already ?
 
Well the anxiety is on full flow now ???.. horrendous this every time ....wish I could re-wire myself tbh ?.... hate it ... Just want this done and home another 2 and a half hours of dread to wait for ????..... Ye I'll tell him first about the wisdom tooth side & let him check it before he starts other extractions at 2pm

I feel your pain trust me. I am a wreck before appointments and I started going 3 years ago, this was after over 10 years of not going at all. But I am still a mess in the days before/ already feeling bad about next Thursday ?? but we push ourself through it and know it’s for the best , it’s all we can do and try to encourage ourself and others as not going only leads to more worry and painful teeth in the long run. I always request morning appointments if I can. sometimes there’s not a choice and I know you said you’re nhs so might be a squeeze but you can always ask if there’s one. I find sitting waiting during the day for an afternoon appointment an absolute nightmare. I had my root canal one at 4pm! The waiting was awful ??

Yes I hate the waiting room wait, just prefer to go straight in! I am 32 and have nearly 5 year old daughter . I tried to sort myself out for her. I didn’t go at all between 17-28 years old basically as soon as my parents weren’t taking me ? good luck and hope it goes smoothly!!
