Due to a drug addiction years ago I have horrible teeth couple that with a very messed up dental phobia you have me where I am now.
The last time I was in the chair they had to sedate me through IV to do my oral surgery, I mean I went to get the stitches out that was the last time I could make myself go in. My insurance approved a bridge for me but I was too scared to even go get fitted for that.
Due to recent stress I was grinding my teeth in my sleep and chipped a tooth pretty bad.
Right now where i live it's 3am I am in more pain than I can ever imagine and I am sobbing because I know I have to go in now and I would honestly rather die at this point.
For one all I can afford is the government dental care which is going to be horrible (trust me that's what I had to get before) but if it continues like this I won't be able to eat. I am sobbing because I know I need this fixed but am too terrified to do anything about it because I'll go in and hear once again that I need like 6 more teeth pulled like I did before and I'll be a freak of nature.
I just want the pain to stop and I am terrified beyond belief. There is nothing I can do because I can't afford sedation dentistry like history has shown me is the only way to get in the chair. I have to pop a sedative just to get into the car to drive to an appointment where all they will do is look in my mouth. This is no longer an option for me other than to be sedated and now I am in so much pain and I am so scared and I have no idea what to do.
Can anyone help me?
