I don't know what I'm looking for posting this, maybe I just need to vent to people that understand what I'm going through. I'm 20 years old and until 2 years ago I never had any issues with my teeth. Never had to go into the dentist except for cleanings. In the span of 2 years I have now managed to have 17 cavities. One of which has gotten to the point where I can see down into my tooth and gum. At least 5 of them need to be removed, and probably 8 of them need root canals.
I have anxiety about everything, and have a severe phobia about any medicine. I feel like I will have a bad reaction to them. I feel like there are no options anymore, I am far too afraid to go to the dentist right now and I am in pain every moment of my life. All my front teeth have small cavities and everytime I smile I feel ashamed.
I'm at the end of the road, and it all seems so hopeless. Almost every tooth in my mouth needs work on and I'm just not able to do it right now.
Sorry for the long post but I'm just wondering if anyone has found counselling to be helpful, or have any advice for me. I don't want to live anymore if this is the way it stays.
