My teeth are fairly crooked and have been pushed out of place by hyperplasia (overgrowth of gum) at the top of my mouth at the very front, plus I have a tooth thats very out of place. Im having a procedure tomrrow to scrape away the excess gum with a wire!!! I may also need the out of place tooth removed! Ive only recently went back to the dentist after 10 years, im 26 now and had last went until recently when I was 16.
3 months ago I had a filling (which is a huge deal for me). I had it under conscious sedation which worked fab, after they injected me there was kind of a drunk floaty feeling and I dont remember anyting till I was being helped out of the dentists chair. I am literally so phobic of the dentist that I shake when going in, and can hardly breathe and that is for a check up when I know nothing will be done!
I have no idea how will cope tomorrow!! Also, my dental phobia is part of a wider medical phobia, so the thought of anything invasisve like this fills me with horror!!
Im sooo scared about the recovery!!
Im so scared as to how much pain il be in and for how long? Im just terrified what the healing will be like!
I may get braces in a few months aswell (though really not sure, im so phobic I can live with crooked teeth no problem!!). Horrible fixed ones, and this also fills me with horror!! I have nightmares about the look of braces! I dont just mean from an asthetic point of view I mean the look of them literally makes me shake even when I see the on someone else!
