Hi all - thank god ive found this forum
Im 27 and when up until 13 i went to the dentist just like normal. Ive always had a 'severe' overbite and upuntil this point no one had ever said anything. My dad is the same and its never caused any issues for him. Anyways i was told at this point that i required 'extensive corrective surgery'!!
I didnt go back to a dentist until 2003. At this point my left top wisdom tooth was so badly infected that i couldnt eat or sleep and was close to overdosing on painkillers. I went to see a dentist and ended up on antibiotics etc. He put a temporary filling in but it was so badly infected the anaesthetic wouldnt work I ended up having to have this tooth out and subsequently found out that due to the overbite the anaesthetic doesnt work very well.
In 2006 (after never seeing a dentist again) the 2nd wisdom tooth on the left said started acting up). I found myself a lovely dentist who appreciated how scared i was and gave me IV sedation to take it out.
Its now 2010 and after moving 150 miles away from the understandign dentist i thought id chipped a bit of tooth on an apple at work the other day. My husband has made me an appointment with a dentist for the 15th feb but im so terrified of going i havent slept. He cant go with me, my mum might be able to but i dont trust myself to go if im left to be own devices
My teeth seem badly stained due to the use of corsodyl and im just so embarrassed that im in tears wrighting this. What if they have to take all my teeth out? What if he shouts at me>? Im so f****ing scared
