I have a really bad anxiety in general and many things I avoid because of this.
I hate people in my space, touching me and I freeze around anyone i don't know and trust.
i struggle brushing my teeth with the feeling of the brush on my gums but i brush daily.
i know i need some work done as my back teeth hurt when i eat anything.
growing up i was forced to go, i felt horrible and stared for week before never telling anyone though. dentists were really grumpy and insensitive when i said something hurt or showed fear. at 15 i stopped going and haven't been back.
a friend has said they ill come with me who understands and supports me in a big way generally, but that wont be enough i am freaking out just at the thought
what can i do to help get ready to go the see a dentist and have a good experience.
