Hi there. I'm very new here but have what to some sounds totally ridiculous. I have quite a severe dental phobia and manage to wind myself up into a right old state for days before a dental appointment.
I was supposed to have a wisdom tooth extraction under local anasthetic on Monday but it was cancelled due to snow and it has now been put back to March but already I am in a frenzy! I am also having pains after exercise in my gums (.. it sounds ridiculous now I have written it) ... and think I need to go to the dentist to get it checked but I am too worried.
How does everyone else deal with the dentist!? I long to be a normal patient who can go, get things done and then get on with their lives but I just don't seem able to. Advice please!
Thanks.
