Every time I’ve gone to the dentist I’ve had to have something done to my teeth, without exception. I’m absolutly petrified of the dentist.
I had a really bad experience when I was younger and never gotten over it. Now I’m 18 I hoped that I’d be able to cope better – I couldn’t. Last year I went to the dentist for a check-up and was so scared I had to hold my mum’s hand the whole appointment, was sick mid check up, and fainted at the end of the appointment. I was told that I had to have quite a bit of work done and they made me schedual 2 more sessions. I cancelled them out of fear.
I’ve just got a reminder through that I’m due for another appointment and know that my teeth have only gotten worse (I don’t know how – I look after my teeth really well becuase I’m so scared of the dentist!).
I really don’t know what to do – I know I need to go before my teeth get any worse but I don’t actually think I can force myself to go (I’m actually in tears as I write this thinking about it).
