Hi,
For about 3 years I have had obssesive thoughts about my teeth.
Before that time I used to neglect my teeth and I didn't go to the dentists for a long time.
Since I have developed this obssesion I have spent a lot of time thinking and worrying about my teeth.
As a way of reassuring myself I have started to take pictures of my teeth with my camera. This helps me to keep
track of any changes that might occur to my teeth.
I have noticed that I tend to focus on different teeth at different times. For instance this year the filling
on one of my front teeth came loose and I started to obssess over my front teeth. At the moment I am obsesing
over the back tooth on the left side and last year I was obssesing over the back tooth on the right side. I also
tend to obssess over the amount of sugar that I eat and try to eat as little sugar as possible. At the moment I
am worrying that I might have eating too much sugar and that it has caused me to have a cavity.

Does anyone else have this type of ocd/anxiety?
