Hi all
I have never really had a problem with dentists before- as a child I had really healthy teeth and never really needed work doing. When I fell pregnant however, I had really bad gum and teeth problems and since we had moved areas, I was seeing a new (and not very nice at all) dentist. She had a horrible bedside manner and kept refusing to do anything about the pain in my mouth. Eventually, I got an emergency appointment with her colleague who took one look at my tooth and decided it was better for me to have it removed. He also told me that it should and could have been sorted months earlier if she'd have listened to me. My tooth actually fell apart as he was removing it and it was incredibly painful. That was 4 years ago and I haven't been to the dentist since.
A few months ago, I cracked a molar and hadn't thought much of it, but the last few days I've been in agony. I have just had a look at it and there is a massive cavity. Now the thought of going to the dentist has actually made me cry, I'm so scared of the pain. I know I should of gotten it sorted sooner, but I've developed a real phobia of dentists. I don't even think I'm registered anywhere anymore. Any advice on how to get myself sorted would be greatly appreciated- I'm a wreck this morning!
