Hello,

I'm a newbie. This is my first post. I'm not sure if this thread belongs in here or in the phobia's section? I'll let you decide.

Basically, I have this issue with worrying constantly about the state of my teeth. I have a straight toothed smile but inside at the back I have some decay going on and I know that I need to see a dentist. I think about it everyday at least 2 or 3 times and my thoughts are obsessive about what could happen if I don't go to the dentist.

The extension to the problem is that I have a MASSIVE fear of dentists. Haven't seen one for almost 12 years now.

So, does anyone have any helpful suggestions?
Thanks.
