21yrs old,I haven't been to the dentist in about 5 years.I am petrified of going, cause I know that I am going to need a lot of work done.Besides having a normal, general fear of the dentist, I have MajorDepression,BorderlinePersonalityDisorder,dissociation, and GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder.I am on 5 perscriptions for them, with one of them being Xanax for anxiety.I know that I could take one before going to the dentist,but I really don't want to be awake AT ALL.What determines wether a patient needs to have actual dental surgery done,or if they get a root canal or a regular extraction?these are the problems I am aware of:my very last tooth on the bottom right is gone(by me) But before I took it out,it was only less then half of a tooth for about 2 years.Now,I'm not sure if I didn't get it all out, or if a wisdom tooth is growing but there is a piece of tooth in there.2 other teeth have holes and hurt, and are following the pattern of the first tooth.I'minlots of pain:( jw6667@yahoo.com
