I haven't been to a dentist in 7 years. My teeth are pretty healthy ( I think) i have no black or bleeding spots. But I have pain in a tooth( or two cant tell) that has a filling. I'm so scared that I'll need a root canal or something. Ya I know "if you would have gone regularly you wouldnt have this problem..." well my anxiety about it is real and I need help getting to the appt. I have no one to go with me,nor do I want anyone to. I need advice on what I can do to be calm once I'm there. Like I told the receptionist I'm gonna need to be pried out of my car. I'm afraid the waiting room will be full or the wait will be long and I'll end up leaving. When I'm super panicky I dont really have control of that. I kinda black out and I leave. Getting into that chair is a whole other story. Xrays the prodding in my mouth, that napkin around my neck
Like I cant do this. But I need to. But I'm so scared.
