Hey, some of you may have read my previous post a few weeks ago. I'm 25 and have only been twice in my life. I have such a fear and have put this off for years. I have most if the symptoms of periodontitis (although my gums have never bled and aren't painful) and most of my teeth have cavities or something wrong with them. I probably have 2/3 healthy ish teeth if I'm lucky.
I've never been the best at brushing (always once a day but usually never twice until a couple of months ago - now it's 3 or 4 times a day!) And I have never flossed in my life.
So nervous for tomorrow, I don't want to be scolded and I also don't want the dentist to make anything worse! I'm worried that a few of my front teeth top and bottom are slightly mobile and I don't want the dentist to pull or prod at them to check and end up actually making them looser! I'm so worried!
I know not going will only make the situation worse in the long run (or perhaps even the short run, they're really not in good shape!) But I'm so petrified I'm worried I won't end up going through with it. Or I won't go back
