  • Dental Phobia

    I have it in the worst way.   I was also not raised with good dental habits, as in visiting one every 6 months.

    I am in dire need of an upper denture.  My face looks sunken in on one side because I have no back molars, I had to have them surgically removed on one side.  On the other side, the molar on top is a cap and the bone beneath is very brittle... there is a whole thing with the sinus cavity being directly there and caution about breaking the floor of my sinus cavity when I had a tooth removed on the left.  I am afraid to have anything at all done so I never went back after the oral surgery.

    I need to go today to start a plan for a denture and I worry the mold making  process will pull out the cap and break the fragile sinus floor bone... I am so paranoid.  I think I have a cavity and to top it off  I think I broke a tooth on a butter rum Life Saver last week at the Transit Museum.

    Gosh Bum!   I am full of anxiety.    

    I so hate this....

    Do you have dental phobia?

  • yes, and i'm sure one day i'll regret it! peace, Al

  • I'm terrified of the dentist. I haven't been since 2003. However, I brush my teeth around 5x a day. I probably destroyed my teeth nearly as badly as my esophagus due to eating disorders, but I'd rather not think about it. ha.

  • I had a very bad experience with an incompetent dentist so I'm very wary of going to any dentist. I had a bad feeling the first time I saw her and I should have trusted my instincts and left but I didn't. From now on if I'm being worked on by someone I feel is not competent I'll get up and leave.

  • I rarely go, it has been years and years. But I think my teeth are pretty good.
