Hey guys

I was never taken care of well while I was growing up. I was raised by my grandparents whom both had all their teeth gone by age 40. They never made me brush while growing up and never took me to the dentist. (They also never took me to the doctor. That’s besides the point, but I want to get the message across that they didn’t take care of me very well. I think it was because I wasn’t their child and they were old and tired. ANYWAYS.)

My molar broke! It’s so embarrassing.

The worst part is that I have a teeth phobia. I hate seeing rotted teeth, loose teeth, any teeth really. All teeth gross me out.

I have a feeling that the dentist is going to want to yank it out. Just thinking about it makes me want to vom! I have my appointment next week, but I need people to tell me how to get over this fear...

any suggestions?

If you’ve had a tooth pulled.. was it traumatic? How bad was the pain?

Also, I’m going to insert a pic of my tooth.. please don’t be nasty. If there are any dental assistants or dentists in this group please lmk how bad you think it is?

Thanks guys! Please leave suggestions on how to get over the phobia!!!
