I'm petrified going to the dentist, I haven't been for a few years and before that I had perfect teeth. I fear they are now in a terrible state and will have to have them removed.
The last few years I had a couple of miscarriages and then I've been blessed with my amazing baby. The whole time I was sick whether through morning sickness or anxiety and grinding my teeth and it's completely ruined my teeth.
I'm so ashamed and embarrassed to go to the dentist.
I've actually made an appointment at the end of the week and that was such a big thing for me to do, I was in tears on the phone to the receptionist ? feel like such an idiot.
I'm more scared about having to have teeth extracted I know I will need work and all I want to hear is they won't have to remove any.
I have one that is sensitive and hurts on the odd occasion if I bite down.
Another one I had a filling in years ago the filling has partially come out.
I've spent hours taking photos of my teeth and being so upset at how yellow they are and all the enamel is missing. It's taken a lot for me to post this and also include a photo
They all feel strong and none wobble, none are black or broken but I have a huge fear the dentist will tell me a few will have to be extracted.
This fear is consuming me at the moment and I need it gone. I so want to get it all sorted out.
Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. I haven't told anyone about this as I'm too ashamed. Any encouragement would be amazing I'm trying to stay strong and keep the appointment
