Dental Anxiety
Does anyone else have dental anxiety? I have had some bad experiences with dental work with fillings and can’t chew or floss it hurts too much. Now I am scared of dental work and never used to be. I never used to have issues with fillings. I am getting my wisdom teeth removed this week and I can’t sleep from the anxiety.

So many people hate the dentist
The worst thing is, though, you build a bad picture up in your head of what's going to happen and it's never that bad.
It's tied to your previous fears.
I genuinely wish you the best, I got this done and I promise you, it was fine 💖💜
I have severe dental anxiety. My last visit when I was getting fillings I had a panic attack and was shaking so bad their tray of tools was rattling. It was so embarrassing. The dentist and hygienist just slowly backed out of the room 😂
If you have any anti anxiety meds, I highly recommend taking them beforehand. Maybe have someone come with you? Just make them give you that nitrous gas mask and inhale the *** out of it 😂
I appreciate it. I had the surgery today. Fortunately the procedure felt like it was done in 5 minutes but unfortunately my pain is severe right now and not sure if that is normal. Many folks had been telling me it doesn’t hurt that bad so I’m confused why it’s so bad for me right now. Really scared I might be dealing with some rare complication which tends to be my luck :/
I was in the same boat you are I remember when I had my wisdom teeth out, it was brutal. Hopefully you can take it easy for a few days. Hang in there
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. My whole family told me it wasn’t bad so I thought it was abnormal to be in this much pain, but I guess I just have bad pain tolerance
