Hi all,
I'm 23 and have suffered with agoraphobia and anxiety for 3 years now. I had my daughter 2 years ago, and after having her I was in hospital for 4 days. I had to have blood transfusions and ever since then I have found it hard to bring myself to brush my teeth at all. I very rarely brush my teeth and I dont know why I cant bring myself to do it. I'm a clean person and take good care of myself in every other way.My teeth are starting to decay, ive had 1 tooth that ive been feeling that is really weird upon taking a picture to see my tooth better, i noticed how awful my teeth were, and it made me cry. when i look in the mirror i dont see them that bad, but when close up they are awful. As i suffer from agoraphobia I am so scared to go to the dentist, i always have been.
I dont know what to do, now that i have seen my teeth in this way, its made me not want to go out even more now, I currently have a nurse who comes to see me once a week to try help me get over my agoraphobia. I feel embarressed that I have allowed my teeth to become like this, and dont know how to move forward with getting them sorted.
Please help with any advice you have to offer.
thanks a lot
