Hi guys,
It has been 12 years since I last went to the dentist. I have a hole in one tooth that goes beneath the gum line it is black and disgusting and the gum is sore. There is also a hard boney lump above this which everyone tells me is the root but I have become more aware of it in recent years. I have faced facts that I will have to have this removed and I am soo scared as when I last went (12 years ago) the dentist took out 5 teeth before the injection had started to work.
This has ruined my life for the past 8 years as I worry about it daily and think it could have progressed to cancer or a jaw infection. My family and friends say I am being silly but this is what I fear.
I have had a dentist recommended and am set to go in October. I do not know if I will actually go because I do not think I can face the embarassment, treatment and diagnosis.
But I know I would be so happy to not wake up in the night and feel the hole in the tooth with my tongue and have to panic and check it all the time and have a constant weight on my shoulder. I know my life would turn around but I am soo scared about going.
Anyone been in the same situation. I am so scared no-one has a let a tooth get this horrible.
Thank you for your support.
