I'm not sure what exactly I'm asking here but I'm waiting for a call back from a new dentist and my anxiety is bugging me so I'm posting for distraction mostly.
I'm not embarrassed of my teeth, I'm paranoid about all sorts but they certainly don't look bad, nothing outwardly to be ashamed of certainly. What embarrasses me is my nervousness and anxiety, I feel like I'm being silly and childish getting worked up over something lots of other people manage just breezily. I get shy and feel embarrassed in the chair and just loose the ability to ask the questions I want because they suddenly seem ridiculous or paranoid. And I try not to show it all so I'm just quiet and passive.
I know there's advice about being embarrassed about teeth here, but I'm not sure how to stop being embarrassed of my nerves.
