Hi Michael, thanks for your comment! Dr. Reuben is our founding Dentist here at Dental Boutique, and he is a master at his work! We would love to help you out :)
The fear I have when it comes to dentistry is the fear of PAIN because of the experience I had in the past. I felt everything, caused me to have the trauma of the feeling, turned into a phobia. The phobia just doubled because of my biological father, because that time when I was you, he's scaring me to get beaten hard if I don't go to dentist to pull my aching tooth out. These experiences affected my life now I'm a 23 year old adult, I still find tooth extractions so scary because of my trauma. Now I have two broken lower molars that needs to be pulled, I still can't manage to get it pulled out because of fearing of the pain. Wishing that someone could help me but I can't find any help that I wish for.
Sorry to hear that you have had traumatic experiences that have affected you in life. Have you considered sleep dentistry, where the dentist proceeds with treatment while you are under local anesthetic. Patients with dental anxiety often proceed with this option. Hope you are able to fix your teeth soon.
@NY UK No, this is just so they can do cavities and cleanings without you freaking out. I think if I ever have a cavity I will proceed with this route or similar.
@@DentalBoutiqueAU If only I could have money for trying it out, but I only live in poverty. But I'm more worried and scared about the procedure more than the cost. Speaking of, I never get sedated or something like that, so my curiosity is also added to the fear. I wonder how it feels to be sedated or they call it "twilight sleep". Also, what I am fearing is, how safe is sleep dentistry. Sedation dentistry are very rare here in our place, and it's really sad to know most of dental clinics here doesn't care about dental phobia.
My phobia is so severe I've contemplated suicide rather than go. I'm having dental abscesses and have the choice of living in severe pain of go - both are simply inconceivable
i find listening to music helps a ton, relaxing music or stuff like native american flutes and i close my eyes and picture myself somewhere else listening to those sounds while maintaining a calming breathing pattern is key... helps tons and usually gets me through dentist... usually the hardest dentist visits are where you need to get teeth pulled, generally getting fillings outside of the injection aren't painful at all and teeth cleaning is usually painless just the sound can cause some anxiety but really not too bad.
I have a different kind of dental anxiety. The smallest stain, the slightest sensitivity, I feel like I have to go to the dentist and have it checked out even though the dentist keeps telling me I'm fine.
I became so obsessed with my teeth to the point that I can constantly feel how my teeth are touching against each other in my mouth. Also I brush so many times in a day, that my gums are starting to hurt
God I’m going to the dentist with my mom and I haven’t gone in a year because of COVID..but my teeth are so bad because as soon as my depression hit it just all got worse, and I had a panic attack earlier
I didn't have any fear before of any dental visit until I met this dentist who almost broke my jaw while trying to rip off my upper molar during the extraction. He left me with a dislocated painful jaw and heavily swollen face, misaligned teeth and a bonus of a broken root stuck somewhere near maxillary sinus! Now I can't get myself to agree to the removal of this root through surgery...I fear they might push the root into my sinus. I don't have faith in dentists anymore. He didn't even tell me he left the root behind...i only discovered when I consulted ENT specialist thinking I have sinusitis that a tooth root was still there!
Those were the reasons I'm scared, I'm embarassed becase it's been 10 years and I'm 20, I'm afraid of the actual procedures because of everyone says if I need extractions it'll be scary, or that I'm gonna have a bad time. But I think this is what I needed to go to the dentist and I'm going to try and get an appointment scheduled! I'm tired of having all my teeth be sensitive, the tooth aches, and the relative lack of being able to chew. Thanks for everything!
I'm PETRIFIED of the dentist, funny thing is I've never had any work done on my teeth. No cavities or teeth pulled. Nothing. I think it stems from both my phobia of needles, and because I feel as if I've lost control. My anxiety last time was 1,000% worse than normal and I had bouts of trying to keep myself from crying hysterically, throwing up, running away, to flat out just disassociating from the whole situation. I always thought as I would become an adult this anxiety would lessen, but it has gotten worse and worse. This time I will have to communicate to them waiting is the worst part of it with hopes of it going quicker. Which will be really hard, because I don't like to admit when I'm scared. This happens at the doctor's office as well, however, I feel like I'm managing it better. My blood pressure would sky rocket to 160 when I would walk in there but now I can keep it stable enough to get a good reading. Especially when I communicate my anxiety... wish me luck for my November dentist appointment!
Literally same. I’m 26 now and it’s getting worse each time. I’m going back to the dentist today after spending Friday morning hysterically crying after my dentist got mad that I gagged. It’s involuntary! One thing about the loss of control: I find it more comfortable if they let me hold something (like suction) or put things in my mouth myself (like X-ray things or the thing that holds your mouth open). That honestly works so well I don’t feel as gaggy when I do it myself...good luck!
@@weatherboy2965 :( I wish I could help! You could ask for kid-size ones if you have a small mouth, or ask if you can put them in yourself! That’s all that works for me. I ended up getting full anesthesia after I commented that above. 🤣 full anesthesia for a freaking couple of cavities.
The fear is so real one would end up living with pain than visit a dentist. I'm like what if something go wrong and I need to come back for more intrusion!
My teeth are all whacked... I think Im gonna loss most of my teeth in the far future because I've never been going to the dentist eversince... Im embarrassment and the thought they might judge me becaus Im 14 and I have a lot of dental So thank u so much. It help a lot to me
dude omg!!!!! ME TOO. i am 14 and i have really bad teethe and i am so embarrassed about it 😭😭 i’m genuinely scared that all my teethe will be ripped out bc of how bad they are
Get them fixed as soon as possible, it's not as bad as you think. You just have to go to the dentist and get your cavities filled and not see them again I promise you it's not painful, I feared going to the dentist my teeth got so bad, the cavities kept growing but then I decided to go to the dentist after reading about the experiences of other people going through the same thing. You're not alone. Just tell your parents that you need to visit your dentist I'm sure they'll be supportive tell them you're scared of going there. You just have to get them fixed just ones dayy and you'll have good teeth for the rest of your life and take care of your teeth after that. Btw I have to go again because I got more cavities (4 this time 😭) and I keep procrastinating but tomorrow I'm gonna call my dentist and fix a date for an appointment. Don't fear even if they make fun of you let them, it's worth your good health, you're here to live your life comfortably and they won't even remember it. Live a healthy life! Take care! (And sorry for the bad English)
I get worried that they'll have to do something if there's a problem, there has never been an issue with my teeth but I'm still scared every time I go lol
Im 15 and I was supposed to get 2 teeth removed I think but I get nervous at the dentist because I got one tooth removed and my mom isn't sure if I'm gonna get the other one removed I didn't feel it get removed when I got 1 of my teeth removed it's just the thought of getting one removed out of my head scares me bc there pulling it out!!! So when I'm at the dentist I get scared!!! ( I think it's mostly because I had a cracked tooth and it felt like they drilled a whole in it and I have a whole wear the part of my tooth was cracked so it burns sometimes when I brush my teeth....
I don't know why but once I get the shot to numb the mouth....I don't freak out about that...I freak out because it's numb and I feel like I forget how to swallow....then the panic sets in....I almost pass out..I feel like crying...like a child...I don't know why this started happening....I have to have a root canal and I don't know how I'm going to get through it...I think my dentist wants me to go elsewhere for the root canal because I make her nervous with the nonsense I do..😔😔😔😔😔😭😭😭😭😭😭
Me too! Try sleep dentistry. I took a very low dose and it was absolutely amazing. I’ve experienced a lot, but stopped being okay at the dentist. The low dose allowed me (and my dentist) to have a pleasant experience! I will never go through that kind of anxiety again. Sleep dentistry and done with root canal! Good luck
I feel you. I already have a huge fear about choking, suffocating, etc, choking on my saliva...not helping. I don't know when or how it started, cause it was never an issue until recently. Even getting my teeth cleaned freaks me out. Luckily, my hygienist has the same issue as me, so she knows how to help me out. But if I ever have to have any work done...Lord help me This stinks!!!
I’m nervous every time but I don’t wanna listen to music with both headphones in, in case he says something. Pls help because I can’t be nervous and I have it on Friday.
