Afraid of the dentist?!


Question:

Afraid of the dentist?

I suffer from depression and I only brush my teeth like once a week. Last time I went to the dentist (about a year ago) I had 9 cavities. I got them all filled.

I know I have to go to the dentist again but I'm scared. One of my molars has a visible cavity and there is a big hole on one of my front teeth. I think the enamal on one of my other molars is gone because it is rough when i touch it and not smooth like my other teeth. I'm so afraid of the dentist I dont know what to do


Answers:

Oh no! You have to go to the dentist. I know you are scared - nobody really likes going to the dentist but he is there to help you not lose your teeth! If you let your visible cavity (if visible to you, then it is very far along) go further, you will end up needing a root canal and then pain that leads up to getting a root canal is extremely severe - it is worse than going to the dentist now. You don't want to suffer that kind of pain!!

How can you get help so that you brush your teeth 2-3 times a day? If you don't take care of your teeth and hygiene, you will probably end up losing all your teeth eventually!
