So here's my story. I have bad dental hygiene. Ever since I was a kid I've had soft teeth which meant that no matter how much I tried I always ended up with cavities.
When in became an adult I slowly stopped going to cleanings bc they would result in expensive fillings etc.
On top of that I'm very resistant to paint killers including lidacaine (sp) often requiring multiple injections.
My last dental experience was 4 years ago when I needed an emergency room canal while pregnant and the dentist couldn't get me numb. To the point where they tried to inject me strait into the root or nerve but that still didn't take. I havent been back to a dentist since.
I have a missing crown, a broken back molar, and several cavities but since they don't hurt I can't bring myself to make an appointment.
I get such bad anxiety just thinking about it. The other day my son had an appt and I could barely stand to be in the office.
Well one of bottom canines has a cavity and it's starting to feel weird, so tonight I emailed an office to schedule an appt. And then I cried bc I don't even know of I can go through with it.
