i hate going to the dentist. every time i pretend i'm being interrogated

#one section of my mouth is particularly sensitive and the hygienist did it last like some psychological torture mastermind #to be fair she didn't know #dentist tw

Hey Kat. I fucked up real bad and now it's going to turn into a massive, expensive mistake and I'm terrified. Basically I've always struggled with brushing my teeth. I have autism and it's my biggest sensory issue, I can't stand the feeling of the bristles, or the sound brushing makes. Even plain, kids toothpaste and mouthwash are too strong flavours for me and toddler toothbrushes are still too big for my mouth. It's overall just a miserable, painful experience for me. Combining this with severe depression (no motivation to brush my teeth) and psychosis (thinking the tap water's acid so not wanting to go near it) means I have severely neglected my teeth as an adult, now that I'm no longer 'made' to do them regularly like I was as a child. Despite not being to the dentist in 7 years, my family decided it was finally time for me to go, as I've been in pain for a week or so, a tooth at the back cracked and left a sharp bit, and a chunk of one tooth fell out a year ago and they're worried about possible infection. And they're only the VISIBLE issues. I just...I'm so fucking angry at myself rn. Like this is my fault. I know that. I'm so annoyed that I can't just brush my teeth regularly like so many other people do. That I didn't just push through the pain and do them anyway to avoid all this. Because now it's going to cost literal thousands to fix and I'm STILL going to hate brushing them anyways, so I should have just done it in the first place, you know? Just the thought of going to the dentist though makes me absolutley terrified. Bright lights? Centre of attention? Being touched by strangers? The feeling of metal scraping on my teeth? (I use plastic cutlery for this exact reason) I just don't know how I'm going to cope. Sorry for the rant. I'm just scared.

I totally understand that this is a scary and serious situation, but I fail to see how it's your fault that you're autistic and have severe sensory issues and why you should feel guilty and blame yourself as if you simply didn't care to brush. Because clearly there is no "just" about dental care for you... ❤️

a girl should NEVER have to spend four hours in a dental chair

#ignore the fact im not a girl. phrasing for the post etc etc #bitch i came out of that appointment with blood flecks on my glasses #my jaw feels like the size of TEXAS #and they didnt even DO what they were supposed to bc they found ~MORE PROBLEMS~ #and my dentist called me after and said to take such a high number of advil bc Ill Need It DUDE THATS SO OMINOUS #EDIT: this was supposed to go on my main but i cant be bothered to retype all this #so here have my irl life content #dentist tw

Every time I see a new dentist I explain that im v genetically resistant to/tolerant of local anesthetic. And they're like "oh huh ok ill try to use more." And then they start working and i stop them to say I still feel things and they're like "Oh WOAH ok" and have to stop and use EVEN MORE. Every guy.

#dentist tw #it turns out i have bad dental trauma because as a child I assumed every part of the process was Supposed to hurt even after novacaine #the dentist probably would have helped me if i spoke up but i literally didnt know my experience wasnt normal #i was just like ''oh yeah this shit is why everyone talks about hating dentists''

Today was a better day.

Besides of my uterus for a moment there pinching me and giving me a quick sharp pain for a second which was weird tbh

I managed to eat breakfast which yay!

Pain is a 1 1/2 today 🥳 I had so much energy still when I came back after 8h work that I was still able to do some indoor cycling for 11 min and I did good bcs I had more aerobic and anaerobic training than light or intense which makes me proud. Plus this is a healthy way to get my heart pumping without having it pumping due to anxiety.

Tomorrow is dentist time after work 😩💔🫣 I’m not excited for that at all but I know it’s needed to keep my teeth healthy. I’m glad I have a lovely Dentist she’s so nice and comforting. Plus she gives me lots of local anaesthetics so I can cope better.

Currently life is nice even if each day is another chronically ill hectic day but it’s a good reminder that it’s always a new day and I can see what I can do and I have several chances in hopes the next day is better than the last day.

You are loved , you matter, you are valid!

hey so i felt something weird around my bottom left molar and i checked with my tongue and there's just. a hole. a gaping hole. iuhrm it hurts and im calling the dentist tomorrow but now i know why my mozarella had hard pieces in it

#like what the fuck #i have a fear of dentists. i go to one of those dentists that's for people with severe fears and disabilities #i was JUST slowly moving towards being terrified of dentist visits but i can. yknow. cry my way through it #why is it EVERYTIME i get to that stage something happens?!?!?!?! #first my double 6.5x root canal in my two front teeth #<- where my fucking NERVE was ripped out of my body by the fucking way #then it was having my wisdom tooth violently removed in the hospital by the jaw surgeon #<- left with medical trauma i STILL haven't been able to have treated #and now???? now my teeth are CREATING HOLES THAT DONT SHOW UP ON XRAYS??????????? #why #sjonnie.text #dentist tw

[hollowslantern]

Just got back from the dentist and apparently I got three cavities great /s. But next month I have to go back for another cleaning and then get my wisdom teeth out

Aaahhhhhh I forgot I have teeth extraction tomorrow. Hell world

#atari.vnt #I've tried to be brave and relaxed about it but as the time inches closer I'm scared. I'm actually scared #Getting 2 of em pulled... they're close to the front but not necessarily visible #which means they shouldn't be noticably missing thank goodness. #I dunno. I read up on the process a little and maybe I'm only reading horror stories from a vocal minority buuuuuut... #All the stuff about people talking about their face shape changing and their cheeks sinking in kind of worries me :[ #I just got used to/started feeling a little confident in how I look so any kind of change to my appearance now would be scary #Also people were talking about other physical problems they had post-extraction that freaked me out too #Maybe I should just stop reading and try to relax ... aahhhhhh.... but I'm still nervous!!!!!!! #I'm also a little ashamed of myself. I didn't take very good care of myself or my teeth as a teen coz my mental health was BAD. #So I know I only really have myself to blame here and it hurts... orz #Oh well. I just hope everything goes fine and I experience not many bad side effects or results ;o; #dentist tw #Then again due to other physical conditions my teeth are kinda crowded around in my mouth so maybe they needed to come out eventually..

[compassionatereminders]

Kat!! I finally got over my fear of being judged for my dental hygiene and went to the dentist for the first time in a little over 15 years! And all in all, I didn't have as many cavities as I had thought I would (only 3 very small ones) and I am planning on treating them eventually. I'm just really glad I got it done after 2 years of putting it off 💜

What a win! I'm really proud of you for pushing through and getting it done despite the anxiety. I personally struggle a lot to see doctors (and dentists) as often as I should, so I know the struggle and I think you're a fucking badass ❤️

[roboraindrop]

Anyways I'm Nervous bc I have a dentist appointment today. I've only ever been before to have my tooth extracted, so going when I'm not actively in pain allows more brain room for Anxiety fjdndk

#my back molar broke yesterday?? out of nowhere and with no pain?? #anyways im scared about eating now even tho there's no pain #i am a Baby when it comes to pain djdksks #rain rambles #dentist tw #if anybody needs anything tagged pls let me know!!

[galaxyglaze]

Anyone else having a second night of excruciating tooth pain and desperately praying they can see a dentist tomorrow or is that just me haha

(I am only sane right now due to leftover painkillers from a surgery. Like. If I didn't have these, it's full on screaming and crying levels of pain.)
