For context I have several dental trauma since I was a child because I had 8 baby teeth pulled with no pain killer or number and he made my mum and the nurse hold me down while he ripped them out. I have extreme fear of going to the dentist yet I am forced to every 6 months for check ups this brings extreme psychological torture to me making me unable to eat or sleep for days I have tried to seek help for this but nothing has helped I am 20 now.
Okay so about this dentist lying when I went for my check ups last time I was non verbal (I have aspergers) and in extreme tears I needed my bf to hold me down while the dentist did the check, it was 2 minutes maybe 3 and he said everything is good but I need to brush more which is true as my autism and adhd make me forget consistency when brushing. However later when I called in a couple months after to change my appointment I asked if I can meet every 12 months and the receptionist told me the dentist said I had gingivitis and something else which he didn’t tell me at all he said everything was good I’m sure he has to offer a cleaning and tell me if he says I have gingivitis. I have since checked my gums every day all are light pink lighter than my lips with a matte texture no inflammation the blood flow is good as it restored quick and goes white when pressed on, the pockets are not deep and I am now completely spiraling about why my dentist would ever do this to me I have extreme paranoia. For context I know my oral hygiene and I have never ever had tooth pain in my life, never had cavities and never had any sensitivity the only time I have ever had fillings was because 1 of my teeth grew out with a crack that’s what I was told and because when I was 13 I had a tongue piercing and bit on it and cracked my tooth. Nothing has ever been decay I have never had gingivitis or anything else I’ve never had inflammation or pain I have never had anything like this why is he lying?!!?
