I read a lot about the problems that people seem to have with their teeth and how much is needed to be done. At times when I get my panic attacks or get really anxious there is not much that helps. I hear about how to take care of your teeth. Tooth paste advertisements, dentists who has told me just to eat cinnamon rolls and pastry once a year, or I will destroy me teeth etc has put me into a threadmill.
I know there is a question in the polling-section about how you brush your teeth, but I wanna know. Does anyone else feel like they have lost all control and have obsessions about food and dental hygiene?
I cannot eat anything without having a toothbrush, a tooth pick or a flouride chewing gum nearby. I cannot even eat an apple without getting anxious afterwards, needing a chewing gum or brushing my teeth. If I have forgotten to use floss one day - oh, I just walk around thinking about it the next day. I use my mouthwash far longer than 30 sec. And I get kind of a bit of satisfaction after I have brushed my teeth and used my tooth pick, floss and mouthwater and topping that off with a chewing gum. But my fiancé gets really upset with me for stopping the film we are watching just to get rid of the food in my mouth.
If I eat candy or drink a soda... Oh... Problems...
I cannot taste a tiny bit of food or eat something with my friends. I run of to the nearest restroom and wash my mouth. I have an emergency-kit with flouride chewing gums, toothpicks and sometimes a bit of dental floss.
I have totally lost control and it is so disturbing. It ruins a lot. Expecially since I work with children...
"Why are you chewing on a gum?"
"Oh, dear. I'm afraid the dentist will come after me and hunt me down if I don't. Go off and play now."
...
Please, let me not be the only one. And how the hell do I get rid of those obesessions??
