I have my next appt on the 7th of June and although I am not panicking....yet, I am already worried about what will happen on this visit as I have no idea.
Also the last time I went the dentist gave me an x-ray on my right side (at last) and said there were no problems, although she didn't physically check the teeth like they usually do at a check-up. Even though she has said the only things I need done are the RCT and filling in my upper left wisdom tooth I still can't stop worrying that I have other things wrong that she hasn't noticed.
I am also worried that there has been no date given as to when my wisdom tooth cavity will be filled and I have visions of it getting really bad and turning into another RC jobbie. My dentist told me to eat normally on my left side (where the RCT is as well, currently filled with a temporary filling), but I am still scared to eat on it. I am chewing with my left side, but it makes me very nervous.
I have also been getting niggly little pains in various teeth in my mouth even though I know there are no other major problems. I think it is anxiety, but again, I am just worrying constantly.
Please can someone give me a little kick and tell me to stop being so silly as I know I am, I'm feeling distincly wobbly about my dental health at the moment and it's really not helping my underlying anxiety problem. I have put off starting my anti-depressant meds because I know they increase anxiety at the start and I cannot cope with dental appts with ramped up anxiety, so I am not in a good place right now!
Many thanks.
