I haven’t been to the dentist in over 15 years. It terrifies me. I’ve made an appointment and it’s tomorrow. I’m shitting myself. I can’t sleep for worrying. My anxiety has been awful since I mad the appointment a week ago.
My teeth are in a tight mess and nobody in my life knows about it. I’ve managed to keep this secret for about 10 years. My front teeth actually look ok! Receding gums but they’re ok cosmetically. My back ones are different story. Massive holes and bits missing. One tooth has come out but the root is still in. I have another wisdom tooth coming through and it’s infected.
I’m getting married in 18 months and I want to have ‘perfect’ teeth. I’ll be doing this as an nhs patient. I almost don’t want to hear what they’re going to tell me. I’m only 38. If I had the money, I’d tell them to take them all out and put implants in, but that’s £££££s isn’t it.
I’m so ashamed that I’ve let my teeth get so bad.
