I cannot put into words the way I am feeling right now.
I guess I should introduce myself. I am Myztri, you can call me Myz if youd like. I am 23, and I have NEVER been to the dentist in my life. Until about a year ago, I had no reason to. I have had straight, healthy teeth my whole life. One would think I would not have a phobia, having never been, however I am TERRIFIED of all doctors, nurses, etc etc and have such a severe needle phobia that that last time I had to be on the bad end of one, the gave me a sedative first, and my fear overrode it. It did NOTHING.
I have been lurking here for a few days, since I realized I now have NO CHOICE but to go to a dentist.
For the past 6 months or so, my two upper wisdom teeth, despite being stright and comfotably in, along with a lowar molar and an uppar molar have decayed, crumbled and broken away. Last week one began hurting so bad that it drove me to an old vicodin Rx to make it stop. I have been living on that, ibuprofin, that toothache waxy gum stuff and soup ever since.
I have a consult at 2:30 this afternoon (it is surrently 11:40) and I do not want to go. To make matters much worse, I am going alone, beccause my husband feels that I should just suck it up and deal with it, and that he is not needed right now, since they aren't going to be doing anything major.
Well, it is major to me. I am terrified and I am not even sure about my ability to get my self there. I will imagine that I will sit in the parking lot for a while before actually going in.
Supposedly this is a good dentist, and that they are already sympathetic to my situation, although I wouldnt know because I had to get my mother to call and make the appointment for me. I know, much like other doctors, that I can walk out if I am unhapy with their attitude, but I hate having to go to start with. I am horribly scared and am mad beyond words at all of the situations I have been put in thoroughout my life that has given me this fear. I am resentul towards my husband for not respecting me enough to take the hour away from work to go with me. I am just....
