I have a dental phobia, probably like a lot of people. I don't know where it come from, I used to be fine but in the past 9 years, since my brace came off, I have hardly been at all.
You can't even tell I have braces now and have advanced gum disease on my lower gums. I do try to take care of them at home, brushing twice a day, at least 2 minutes a time, mouthwash. But I think younger years of smoking, coming home after nights out of drinking sugary alcohol and not brushing, have really taken their toll.
I know I need to go to the dentist but even the thought of sitting here making an appointment this morning is making me feel like I'm going to have a panic attack. I'm in tears and close to hyperventilating. I know it stupid I just feel like I will go and they will take my teeth out. If that happens I worry about DPs opinion, work (I work for a luxury beauty group) and myself.
I don't quite know what I want from this post but I needed something to concentrate on and get me through until a dental surgery opens. I haven't been in that long I would have dropped off of my surgeries books so think I should try elsewhere as it may help.
