So my first dentist appt in a verrrrry long time. I have 3 Broken Molars, a broken wisdon tooth. My front teeth are a mess. I have a partial denture right now for 3 of my front teeth, the other near by teeth's filling have all broken down and are dark, so they look awful. They Don't match at all.
I'm getting married in 2 weeks, and I am determined to atleast get the fronts taken care of. I have been fortunate to find a place that has a dental lab so they should be able to have crowns or another partial done 3 days before my wedding. I cant decide between crowns or just having them yanked and going with a partial for my 6 front teeth. I know they will all atleast actually match right if I just do the denture, but it's also hard to ask to pull teeth that can be saved.
Anyways, on to my fears, I have anxiety/panic disorder and like many, I'm afraid of the EPI in the shots. The shot never bothered me until I knew what was in it LOL. Funny how the mind works..... I did try Carbocaine the last time I had an extraction, it wouldn't numb me enough and I was already in such a panic when they had to give me the shot with EPI, I could'nt tell ya if it was me or the anesthetic making my heart pound. But in hind sight I survived the ordeal. I had no choice, I broke my front tooth of at the root. Couldn't walk around like that LOL. But I remeber how scared I was, and that's why I have not been back.
This time though, I have got to get through ALL of it. I'm tired of my teeth being a problem. So the plan is to deal with the front ones right before the wedding so I can have those pictures showing my beautiful smile that will last a lifetime. And then I MUST stick to a treatment plan. So hopefully you guys can help me do it. Any advice or coping tips would be great.
Thanks!!
