So I've been an observer on this forum for a little while since I realised I REALLY need to get back to the dentist. Finally decided to join.
Basically I've been to the dentist properly once in my life when I was 17 (9 years ago), and I had a horrifying experience of a tooth extraction, so much so that I never went back for the other work I knew I needed doing. The last few weeks I've been having problems with some teeth I thought were healthy - as well as the other stuff I had been consciously ignoring - and knew I had to bite the bullet and book in somewhere. After extensive research of places that won't terrify me and nearly crying on the phone to the manager while telling her my experience, I booked in today to check out what is actually going to need doing. I go next week. I'm SO nervous, but even though it may not sound much yet, it's a massive step for me.
I just need some reassurance/general support really to stop me freaking out!
