New here and need help
Hello everyone-
I'm new to this site and this is my first post. I know this question has been written a zillion times. I'm at a loss because of my fear of the dentist. I'm embarassed & scared of what the hygenist and the dentist will think of my teeth. I haven't been in about 12 years because of this. As a result, i don't smile. This affects every part of my life. Even my last relationship suffered. For example, we'd travel atleast once a year. of course, we'd take alot of photos of us together. In 99% of them, i'm not smiling. Does grinning count? though i'm happy inside, i can't smile. I have nightmares too about this & waking up in cold sweats. I think its not being in control, what the dentist will think, the FEAR, anticipation on the first appointment.....EVERYTHING!!! I really want to go & have my life back and be able to show how i feel inside. Anyone that has the same feeling as myself, a response would surely help!!! Thanks everyone & good luck with everything. Enjoy your day and i'm behind you 100% if ya need help people
