I haven’t been to the dentist in decades
but I really need to be seen.
I have a section of my gums in between my cheek that has been hurting me for a year or so.
I have missing teeth and would like to get a new set of dentures.
I would need a dental bridge for my upper teeth and dentures for the bottom.
I don’t have a current dentist so I’ve been looking for one that handles complex cases.
I’ve been putting it off long enough.
But yeah I’m very anxious about it.
I understand… im afraid of the dentist too
I have a cavity that needs to be filled but putting it off because I hate the dentist
I don’t fear dentists but last time I was there the dentist injected me with 7 anesthetic needles at 7 places, I hated it. He also pulled out two wisdom teeths, it hurt a lot. Dentists are too expensive.
Yeah my last set of dentures cost me over $15,000 bucks and this was years ago.
Today it would be much pricier
No the total cost of the complete dental work including the dentures and other procedures cost me a fortune but it was over $10,000 I know this much
I hated going to the dentist but when I did I ended up with tooth after tooth needing to come out, in the end my at time boyfriend now husband got the few upper teeth I had taken out and he paid for my top denture, I need to take care of the teeth I have left but I don’t
I also hate the small talk that goes on with seeing a dentist.
I really don’t have much to talk about and I fear that if he knows about my schizoaffective diagnosis he is going to do a subpar job on my teeth
I’m the opposite, I love going but can’t actually afford it lol
I hear you. I didnt go to the dentist between 2006 and 2014. Ended up with a nasty cleaning appointment called a debridement NEVER AGAIN.
Now I’m crazy about taking care of my teeth. My neglect with professional dentist care cost me five of my back molars though. Contrary to the stories of supermodels getting molars extracted to look thinner, I still have antipsychotic induced moon face. 
I see that you’re back to your original name!
That’s wonderful!
Can I call you Shmoo?
Lol
Of course! That’s what I called the real Shmookitty.
Voithos put the tagline there. Because i had anon’d my previous Shmookitty account, the name was available again.
I’m me again! 
So precious and beautiful!
Last time I went to see the dentist it was before my corona transplant and back then I had to squint too see anything and the goddamn a*sshole made fun of me even though he knew I was legally blind I hate him luckily he retired I hope I never see or hear from him again
I’m sorry that you experienced this @AwesomeFisherman
Don’t be afraid. You’ll be relieved when it’s over. I used to be scary of needles. They lidocaine your gums and if you feel any pain tell them so. I hope you have a nice smile when it’s over. Hugs!
I forgot insurance. It’s like this all the time
Thanks @roxanna
I call the dentist office “The house of pain” I don’t like the dentist
