Hi all
I'm in my mid 20's and want to get braces to straighten my teeth.
I've not been to a dentist in 10+ years and i am terrified.
Mostly of:
Being told I need my wisdom teeth removed (then being told i need a general anasthetic)
Being told my jaw needs to be broken
Having a decayed tooth removed (and the dentist saying something rude)
I am just terrified in general, and I believe i need extensive work done (ie fillings, extractions, braces)
What is a coping mechanism while I am there for my first consultation? I am generally pretty cruise-y and easy going, but this has be shaking in my boots.
