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?!

Fear of the dentist is more common than you might think, and many people struggle with dental anxiety. This article highlights ways to manage that fear, ranging from relaxation techniques to seeking support from loved ones or professionals. It’s essential to find a caring and understanding dental team who can help make experiences more comfortable. Exploring common treatments for wisdom teeth, understanding what to expect during surgery, and discussing recovery can provide valuable insights to calm your nerves. Talking to friends or reading others’ experiences can also offer comfort. Remember, it’s okay to share your feelings and to seek help when you need it, as many have faced similar challenges in their dental journeys.

The dentist asked me if I’ve bleached my teeth!

This is the absolute BEST whitening toothpaste EVER! This tube has lasted me 6 months 🤯 You only need a pea sized amount and when I tell you my teeth are white, the dentist literally said my shade was A1 😁 It also doesn’t make my teeth sensitive or weaken my enamel. I will repurpose over and over!

The medical industry is kind of crazy today, but we can’t deny that it has come a looonnng way! If I went to get my haircut and then casually mentioned that my tooth was bothering me, and then the barber was like, “I can take care of that!” I think I would just have to get up and leave immediately.
