Hi everyone I’m new.
I am having bad anxiety issues with the dentist right now. I’m 42 and have a filling and a temporary filling done about three months ago for the first time in my life. I’m 42. I’m going again tomorrow as I have a broken tooth and I think I possibly need a filling on my left back tooth. I have generalised anxiety phobia and the whole thing is making me so nervous.
I had a good experience last time but feel ashamed about needing another filling and frightened about what the dentist will find.
my mum keeps trying to reassure me saying having a filling is no big deal but I have a lot of shame attached to it probably due to my linked to my abusive father. Just looking for folks in the same boat. Thankyou for reading . Xx
