I'm really scared about going to the dentist but I'm sure I need some work done on my teeth. I haven't seen a dentist since I was 15 and I'm now 24. I know that's really bad.
Anyway, I wondered whether I could get anything from my GP that would make me more relaxed when I go? I know they'll sometimes give you something when you're going for fillings and stuff, but would they give me something if I was just going for a first appointment and was really scared?
Also, can you make an appointment and just go and speak to a dentist without them looking in your mouth the first time? Or would they consider that a waste of their time? I just don't think I could handle it all at once, I'm REALLY anxious about going, and I wouldn't go except for the fact that I know I have some cavities and I don't want them to get really bad and give me toothache.
