I finally started going to the dentists last year. In my first exam the dentist completely missed my snapped filling and I had to ask her to go back in and look at it, this worried me a little but I was desperate and she was being nice so I felt I could trust her.
I had some other work that needed done too, I got a large filling on a bottom molar and a small filling done on the other side. The large molar felt a bit weird after like it had been polished properly, I planned to go back before I did some of my tooth snapped off, I went back and she said that some of my healthy tooth had broken due to it being thin where she attached the filling I accepted this, she said if need a crown or a filling, I couldn't afford it right then so I said I'd save and come back. After that I started getting bad pain in the tooth where the small.filling was done, I felt around the back and it's also jagged and doesn't feel right, I booked an appointment in again and walked miles there to calm myself got there and waited 30minutes, I got sick of waiting and went downstairs to ask how long it would be they then told me they were pushing me back until the evening and then cancelled my appointment all together as they were too busy.
Luckily the pain died down but it's come back today with a vengeance. I have PTSD and GAD and I find it so hard to trust, give up control and let someone work in my mouth, I let this dentist but now I don't trust her and I've spent £100s, I know I probably sound a bit childish but it feels overwhelming finding a new dentist and building up a trusting relationship again.
I really don't want to go back to my current one.
Just need some support, I know I'm probably going to need a crown and whatever is wrong with the smaller tooth. I also found out I have mild sleep apnea this week and I don't know if this will affect me being able to have certain things to calm me down. Just overwhelmed atm
