I hate going to the dentist!

Well, my wisdom teeth started chewing holes in my cheeks….so I had to get them taken out! They had to stitch up a couple of deep holes in my cheeks! I couldn’t hardly open my mouth to talk, eat, or drink for several weeks before I finally got them looked at! Simply bc…..I have high anxiety when it comes to going to see dentists or doctors! Please tell me I’m not the only one?!

I got my wisdom teeth out when I is around 12-13 and I vividly remember waking up and asking the nurse if I was awake yet and when she told me yes I started to cry and kept asking her 😭😭
