Hey all, I'm Stacey and I'm 16 . This post may come across as one big rant/vent, so I do aoplogise in advance. I just want to talk to someone who understands my problem and where I won't be judged for it .
Now I have a toothache in my lower right canine, the toothache comes and goes, one day I'll be fine, the next day I'll have an ache in it. My mum suggested that I go to the dentist to get it looked at, now this is where the problem kicks in:
- I haven't been to the dentist in about 3-4 years, I'm afraid that if I go, the dentist will tell me that I've got more dental problems that need sorting out.
- I'm not scared of needles, but the thought of someone injecting my gum just makes me terribly afraid . It is that bad that I actually didn't have an injection when I had my filling :/
- The thought of being awake/aware of what they are doing sends shivers down my spine.
- I would prefer it if I went on my own within the room, I don't want to appear all vulnerable with my mum there.
Are there any alternatives if I do go the dentist? Could they put me on a course of antibiotics? Could I go under Anaesthetic?
I'm not really sure out to phrase this but; What is the least pain free way of getting your tooth removed and/or, and what course of treatment makes you the 'least' aware?
Thanks for reading, and I do apologise if this was in anyway confusing.
