Hi everyone!
I was so glad to find this forum as I recently made my first dental appointment in about 15 years. Bad experiences at the dentist when I was a teen led to me refusing to go back and neglecting my dental hygiene, and I probably would have kept avoiding the dentist forever, but I now have multiple broken teeth and the fear of what else bad could happen next has finally outweighed my fear of going to the dentist. My appointment is on Wednesday, and while I truly am looking forward to finally getting the things I've damaged fix and getting back on a healthy track dentally, I'm so ashamed that I let things get this bad and let the issues linger. The dentist's office I've chosen has many reviews indicating everyone is nice, and I know my teeth are not the worst ever, but it's giving me terrible anxiety thinking about admitting how I let things go and feeling embarrassed by my damaged teeth.
Any support or advice would be much appreciated, you all inspire me with your stories of success!
