hello,
I found this site recently due to constantly searching things about teeth extractions, so I thought I would post something if not for anything else but at least to vent and hope to hear from others.
I have schizophrenia and a incredibly bad phobia of dentists, most of all teeth extractions and well my last dentist appointment I have been told that I need my top two wisdom teeth out and two teeth next to my right upper wisdom tooth. So basically in 2 weeks I am getting 4 tooth extractions, 4 fillings and a teeth clean.
I am okay with fillings and cleaning because I have had that done a fair bit of times but never had a tooth extraction and my mind is going crazy over it.
With schizophrenia, when I am anxious symptoms of that start occurring much more rapidly and to put it simply is horrifying.
I don't even know what started my fear of teeth getting pulled but I just keep imaging it like out of a horror movie.
I thought the teeth extractions were the worst of my fears till I started reading about them and came across information on dry sockets, so now I am terrified of that.
I have been given 5mg of Valium for my appointment and have no idea if that will help. I don't even know if I am strong enough to force myself into going. thing is I am in no pain what so ever and yeah I am always so anxious ever since I first was told about what is happening.
