I haven't been to the dentist in a long time and I know I need to go but I'm terrified of what he will say. I have a tooth in the back of my mouth that is causing me intense pain and I believe pulling it will be the only solution, but that's not what I'm scared of. My front top teeth are in kinda bad shape (small cavity, chips, and some decay). It's so embarrassing that I don't smile in photos anymore, I avoid saying certain words so my teeth won't show and I even hate looking at them! Part of my fear of seeing the dentist is sheer embarrassment because I let my teeth get this bad and the other part is I'm scared of what might have to be done cause I really don't wanna lose my front teeth, I'm only 21. But at the same time I know something has to be done, the pain at time is debilitating. I just feel so stupid for letting things get this bad. This is the first time I've ever gone into detail about this, even my parents don't know how bad it it. They only know I have toothaches. But I have told them I need to see a dentist, and I've gotten the phone number to a dentist. But I haven't called yet, I want to but like I've said I'm scared and embarrassed. Thanks for hearing me out.
