Oh, I can't remember the last time I went to the dentist. I am terribly afraid of doctors, so I visit them in case of urgent need.

I was very similar to yourself, but I've made It a habit to visit my dentist every 6 months or so.

In adulthood, you only get one set of teeth- look after them.

I used whitening strips, but it made my teeth so sensitive. I almost cannot eat or drink something too hot or too cold.

I experienced the same sensitivity when I had my teeth professionally whitened by a dentist.

That was the first and only time I did It. The pain was unbearable at times.

I'm afraid of dentists, and usually visit them when I start suffering from pain. Last time my wisdom tooth was removed. I was suffering for a couple of days after that. Now, I need to remove another one, but I still remember that pain

I'm afraid of dentists

I'm absolutely terrified of dentists.

Just the thought of needles and drilling Into my tooth, scares me to death (so to speak).

I am not very found of going to the dentists. The main reason being that every time I have went thereI get to know there are 20 things wrong then the one I am there for. So I avoid as long as I can which is not really a good thing.. Maybe I am just afraid...

I do get why you are all afraid cause I had a pretty bad experience during my childhood as well, I mean at least that's how I remember it cause I was like six at that time. Anyway now I go to redacted and to anyone that has the possibility to try it. I used to go to dentists only when I was really hurting, but now I have a routine that I follow and go to check-ups every month and I do some treatments and my mouth never smelled better haha. no, but for real, I feel fresher than before, it's like going to the spa, just that for your teeth.

Depending on the exact cause of the pain, sometimes It may be too late to save the tooth.

It's good to read that you attend regular checkups. Prevention Is a lot better than cure.

To be honest, I'm very afraid of dentists. I know This is very important for my health first of all. But this is hell for me. And Yes, I don't remember the last time I visited it..

You're not alone.

I'm petrified, but I force myself to make and attend regular appointments.
