I've just posted the following in General Anxiety but don't know if it should be here instead:
"Hi all, I'm really in a panic at the moment!
I was sent a letter by my dentist for my regular checkup, naturally I was worried so put it away 'to do tomorrow' and tomorrow has turned into 4 months later!!
I've been having some slight tenderness on one of my bottom tooth/teeth which is really mild but been there quite a few months now. It's not painful just tender only when I brush and sometimes when I chew something crunchy. Now I'm stressing out that I've got some sort of infection, decay or something and I'm going to have to have a procedure done like a root canal or similar and this is making my anxiety rocket. I was worried about going to the dentist because I never leave the house and get anxiety about going out anywhere, now it's just doubled because I'm worried about having something done :( I am going to make an appointment because I'm so worked up about it and I won't settle now but what can I do to ease my anxiety over the weekend? I won't get an appointment now until next week at least and I don't know how to control my worries :( Does anyone know what this could be? I'm 19 if that helps and have only ever had 1 filling."
