I truly believed that I was doing so much better with the dental anxiety and shame. It’s been 6 months since I last saw my dentist. I was supposed to have the usual 6 month appointment in may, but put it off. Finally emailed him today and cried about going to see him. It’s just the shame creeping up, more than anything else.

I picked someone who had real transformation pictures on his website. So I wouldn’t be the worst case and he previously told me that I had nice teeth.

I’ve already been through a lot with him and have seen him for more than 5 visits. Two dental hygiene visits, two normal check ups. A wisdom tooth extraction with a dental surgeon and him there as well doing the stitches. Plus vain teeth whitening.

No idea how I’m ever going to go and get a PAP smear done.
