Am I in the right place to introduce myself?
I hope so
I'm soon to be a gummymummy as I'm having my last remaining 17 teeth removed under IV sedation on the 10th and I'm scared, o'h so scared I was going to say you wouldn't believe, but you can, I know the majority of you will know the life on hold , totally all consuming fear I'm talking about
I am not getting immediates and that is freaking me out somewhat as I've been told my gum disease is bad (I knew that )and I have infection.
I can't think about anything else, I'm a shaking mess, I'm so stressed.I am in the UK and am fortunate to have a husband who loves me but doesn't understand my phobia, and 2 beautiful children Other mums out there will understand when I say they are my driving force.I don't want them to be embarrased of me and there's my health to consider.When I feel less shaky I will consider a journal (am shaking now, typing is hard) My dad had a stroke and eventually died of a heart attack so there is a history in my family.I could ramble on and on but don't think I would make much sense and it would be hard to read to I guess but let's just say I've been lurking for a long time and have found your stories of some comfort and also very scary but let's face it it wouldn't take much to scare me these days I'm that on edge I was in bed the other night with my husband just dozing off and his email alert went off on his iphone and I jumped out of my skin, then started crying.I must admit my husband must be finding me hard at the minute as one minute I want to talk about it and then I don't.And what do you tell your children? I'm so embarrased and ashamed that it has come to this.I hadn't even heard of dental phobia, let alone knew I had it until the 1st dentist I saw on the 20th Jan said about it.I obviously googled it and came across this community which I think is fab
So, yeah, "hi" (waves) I'm glad I found you.
Any other members who didn't have immediates after a full extraction here?
How am I going to cope?
I hope so
