So thankful that Ive found this site! Its so good to know that im not alone with the feelings that ive been having. But now onto my situation, just hoping id get a little support that I think im needing right now. So many people don't get why we have these phobia's if they arnt someone whom has them and im noticing it more and more recently. Just telling me to man up, or to woman up in my case just isnt it!
When I was 13 I went in to get my braces like many kids do. Before I could get braces my dentist said my mouth was too crowded so he was going to have to pull a couple teeth. I was also going to need a spacer due to the roof of my mouth being smaller. This is where the fear all started. I went in the day to get my teeth pulled, I was a little nervous about the situation but what going to be a big girl and just deal with it. Well, the dentist injected me with the freezing and left me for a few minutes for it to kick in. He came back in and started with the procedure. He came back to me being barely frozen and decided he'd just go to town. I told him multiple times I was feeling everything he was doing and he refused to stop. I understand I was 13, but if I tell you im not frozen IM NOT FROZEN and it doesn't mean you should torture me by going and pulling the 2 teeth regardless!!
The same dentist was the one who placed my spacer, I had that for 3 months and when he went to remove that it also removed 4 of my baby teeth!! They where bound to come out eventually but they all came when he removed the spacer...freaking me out even more.
So I had my braces for my 3 years,(16) and once I had a couple little fillings fixed I haven't been back to the dentist since. (I am now 26)
Now its on to the situation now, The fillings he did when I was 16 after my braces have BOTH fallen out on the top teeth so ive had holes in them for the past 5 yrs or so. While I was eating dinner last night, I took a bite and found something hard, turns out it was a corner to one of the teeth next to the one where the filling had fallen out!! So now im freaking out about going to the dentist but I now know that I HAVE to because it seems like the cavity just seems to be moving to other teeth.
Im looking into sedation dentistry. They have 2 different types, oral(where you dont remember whats going on but you are awake) or IV which they completely knock you out. Im hoping the oral will work for me, but that is also depending on how much work i will need to get done. I think id rather get it all done at once instead of multiple appointments so its less stress, fear and anticipation in the future.
But that's my story. I just needed to share cause I know many people now out in the world have this, and so that people know they arnt alone!
