I have my first dental appointment in about an hour and it’s been almost 20 years since my last appointment. (Horrible and embarrassing to say the least)
I’m forcing myself to go because I have a small amount of pus at the gum line and I know after years of neglect, I’m in trouble.
I am absolutely freaking out (!!) about going and what they’re going to find once I get there. I’m terrified that they’ll have to pull teeth since my husband told me he’d no longer kiss me if I have major dental issues from not going for so long.
The reasons I haven’t been are primarily due to no insurance, fear, and INTENSE anxiety. He is lucky enough not to have anxiety and my life is constantly impacted by it...he just doesn’t get it.
I’m so scared and so close to calling and cancelling the appointment. I know I shouldn’t and that I need to force myself to go, but this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to make myself do.
I guess I’m just posting because your posts helped me to make the appointment in the first place and I just need a little virtual hand-holding to get through this nightmare!
