Anxiety that will never go away about future treatments
Really just hope someone can change my perspectives.
Ive never had to have any drilling done on any teeth, but ive had two teeth extracted. im 40 years old. Having the teeth extracted was disgusting, i relive those two days every day almost.
No amount of checkups or hygienist appointments make me feel better. The moment i leave the door after the check up, all i ever feel like is being one day, or one more appointment closer to the day when something does have to be extracted or drilled.
It makes me feel immensely sad and it really does dominate all my thoughts. Ive never once felt happy or proud of being told im ok.
I dont feel this way about the doctor, physio, medical profession in general, only dentists.
How do I get over these feelings? Id really rather not keep going and just having a reason to be stressed in my life i dont want or need.
