Hello everyone. As the title shows, I have an extreme fear of the dentist. It looks like the fear has fnally caught up to me. I have a bottom back tooth that is half missing, and the past couple of days its been bleeding and has a horrible taste coming from it that I litterally cant stand. The pain isnt too bad but the taste is unbearable.
I also have several cavities in other teeth. I could bear going to the dentist if I could be put to sleep during the ordeal, but I dont have the money to pay for it. I'm on disability and I'm pretty sure disability benefits will not pay for the sedation.
I also dont have the money to pay for any teeth replacements at the time. The best option seems to be just ending it all. How can one overcome fear of the dentist.
Why do I have the fear? I had an extremely bad encounter with a dentist as a kid, which caused alot of pain bleeding, and a dentist with no patientence or compassion for me, even as a small child. The experience has never left me. I hope someone can give me some answers, it could be life saving. Thanks so much!
