Hi all.
I’m not sure where to start as I’m not entirely sure where my fear of dentists has actually come from but it’s getting worse and now i have no choice but to face it due to a broken tooth.
Last time I went to the dentist I had a broken molar which was temporarily filled but I never went back and haven’t suffered any problems from that side since, last night the same tooth on the other side broke and is now digging in to my gum a lot worse than the 1st one did I fear it may need to be removed and just typing this is breaking me out in cold sweats, racing heart and tears.
I know I need a lot of work doing and the whole process is terrifying me to the point I struggle to eat and barley want to drink for fear of damaging my teeth further! It’s damaging my confidence, I hate having any photographs taken and I don’t smile because my teeth hold me back.
I’m not sure what I’m really looking for in terms of advice but nobody understands and my partner and children all have perfect teeth and regularly go to the dentist but I can’t bring myself to go.
Sorry for rambling it feels good getting it off my chest
