Hey there.
I don't really expect any help or replies from this, as I'm pretty sure there is nothing I can do about my situation. But it's something I can't talk about to people face to face, it's embarrassing. Just putting this out to get it off my chest I suppose.
I have had an extreme fear of the dentist since I can remember. My last visit was 2 years ago. That was my first visit since getting 8 teeth pulled at once as a child. It didn't go well. The lady seemed nice and we spoke about everything I would need done and about helping me with my fear. My first appointment was just a cleaning, but I found this very painful and when I asked the lady to stop she couldn't hear me because she was talking to her assistant about her upcoming holiday abroad. I paid £40, left in tears and cancelled my next appointment. I then received a bill for £30 a few weeks later. Which I haven't paid, first out of anger, next because I no longer work and can't afford it. This is a nhs dentist I should add.
From then on my teeth have got worse. Currently the teeth next to my front ones, are slowly turning black. I have an infection/boil of some sort on my gum. My gums looks weird as hell, disgustingly weird. I have a constant bad taste in my mouth. And it hurts to brush of course.
I'm a 22 year old girl, who used to have an excellent social life. Now, I stay indoors constantly, only leaving to attend college classes. I can't afford to pay what I already owe the dentist and pay for further treatment, and I'm scared as hell. I breakdown when I think about going. The only other dentist in my area isn't taking on new patients. I don't think I would have courage to go anyway.
I'm starting to think I should just accept I will die from some kind of cancer or infection in my gums.
I'm sorry if I posted that in the wrong place(im new here), or if its taking up valuable space. I guess I just really needed to say it.
Peace out.
