I have finally booked an appointment to see a dentist after many years of not going. I have never had this level of fear before, I have always been a little scared but this is rediculous. I used to go not regularly but when I needed stuff done I would go through a phase of getting it all sorted, then I didn't go for a number of years, then I quit smoking (yay go me hardest thing I have ever done but my god so happy and proud I did it) anyway about six months after quitting decided to get other aspects of my life healthy and booked at a dentist, had a check up and he asked if I smoked ( I was about 4-6 months into my quit so early days and very chuffed with myself) I told him the time frame since I quit and he said "you wouldn't think so state of your gums "!!!!!! He also didn't explain what the procedures would be for the work I needed as a result of that check up , I never went back after, I don't know if that is what has triggered this really out of hand fear I am experiencing right now.
I have a lot of cavities I can feel, a broken tooth, hole in the back of my front tooth, (I have vaneers on 6 front teeth hole is behind onefitted about 14 years ago you can see a small line of my real teeth presume my gums have changed maybe as no longer smoking)
It has took me about 2 years to get to the point of booking an appointment I did it finally about 2 weeks ago took me a whole day of feeling so messed up,scared, crying just to ring and make the appointment, now it's just over 22 hours until I go.
I feel like I am dipping in an out of depression right now, crying, don't want to do anything ,it's just taken over my whole brain and thoughts, cant eat (yay weight loss),can't sleep, I know logically this is ridiculous but I can't make it stop .
I used a forum to quit smoking and it saved me, I am hoping this forum can help me I really need help right now.
Sorry for being silly and sorry if there are spelling mistakes I am on my phone
