Hi, I have really bad anxiety over my teeth. I suffer with periodontis which is under control. In so much as I see the hygienist 3 times a year and my dentist twice a year. My problem is that I have constant anxiety over my teeth. I am always checking them and looking for red patches. I had a severe infection before christmas where my wisdom tooth used to be and now I am worrying that it's back again and it hurts. It doesn't appear red but I am terrified it will be another infection. It's time of the month and I know that sometimes it makes my gums hurt but I am not sure if it's that or amd infection. My dentist is good but I dont know how I can stop this anxiety. I work full time and seeing getting an emergency appt is difficult. Any advice?
