Anxiety over teeth 😭

I don’t have the best teeth I’ll admit, but I think my health anxiety has come back in regards to my teeth. are they making me unwell? how bad are they really? will they make me really sick? so many thoughts going threw my head at once 😭 I’m in the process of seeing a dentist and making a plan but money is a struggle at the moment but I’m worried my teeth are making me sick! I honestly don’t know what to do. google obviously doesn’t make things better I know I’m just sending myself in a spiral of the worst case scenarios.

... Read moreDental anxiety can stem from various concerns, including the fear of pain, costs, and the potential health implications of dental issues. It's important to understand that your mental health is closely linked to your physical health, and dental problems can sometimes contribute to feelings of anxiety and stress. If you're worried about your teeth affecting your health, it might be helpful to recognize the signs that indicate you should see a dentist. Persistent pain, swelling, or changes in your teeth or gums are signals not to ignore. While financial constraints can be daunting, several resources can assist with the costs associated with dental care, including community health centers and payment plans that many dental practices offer. Additionally, consider discussing your fears with your dentist; they can provide reassurance and help formulate a treatment plan that fits your budget and timelines. Engaging in forums or support groups related to dental health issues can also relieve anxiety and provide valuable experiences from others who have faced similar concerns. Understanding your dental health might empower you to take the necessary steps and alleviate some anxiety over time.

Okay, I have the same issue with my teeth.All four of my wisdom teeth are like this It is due to our mouths being to small to fit the teeth. My dentist that I went to refuse to cut them out and cause me not to be able to get braces to fix the damage I was. Twenty seven years old when I had My first wisdom to remove And to top it off.I was pregnant. I'm now 32 and have to get the other 3 removed But no one wants to do it around here where I live.
