Hi everyone,
I recently went to the dentist to get two teeth removed. I was okay up until I got into the chair and realized that it was really going to happen. I was numbed, and the doctor came in but he wouldn't do anything at first because my heart rate/blood pressure was too high, and because it was taking a while for me to calm down I started to panic because I thought the doctor was going to tell me to come back another time. (The two teeth hurt pretty bad so I really wanted them taken care of) The second time he came back to check on me, he told me that he could put me to sleep to do the procedures, and I started to cry. I am so so so embarrassed about crying. I told him I couldn't afford it, I could barely afford getting the two teeth pulled (my insurance stinks).
The doctor eventually did the procedure and everything went fine, but now I have to go back to in a few months to get some smaller cavities filled and I am terrified that because I had such bad anxiety and cried when I was there that I'll be judged or that he won't want to work on me because he won't want to deal with my anxiety. I want to go and get the cavities taken care of before they get worse, but I just can't get over the feeling that I made a fool out of myself.
