I wish we could have seen more of his journey. I'm in a similar position. I have an appointment next week to have surgery on a tooth and I'm so afraid

[@jordanhess2061]

I am going next week, I went to the dentist today to have a tooth pulled and I had a bad panic attack. Now I have to put up with the pain another week and then get put under for it next week and I am super nervous as well. How did yours go ?

[@nostalgicnyjel7678]

@@jordanhess2061I just got done with mine y’all trust now I will tell you once that give you that shot in your mouth you really don’t feel a thing depending on how fast your body reacts to it but at the same time you might need to tell them if u keep feeling pain when they proceeded to keep numbing you all you really feel is pressure and u gotta tell yourself and think of it like this is the last finale of the big tooth ache this last and final painful moment is what is needed to make the overall pain stop just keep telling yourself let me take all this pain one time and once it’s out it’s out no more pain no more infection no more problem !

[@poncho3376]

How did it go I’m so scared Im 21 and never been

[@LittleAsian_]

She is soo sweet and he is very brave. Very well done to both of them

[@appletherapy]

I saw a dentist tiktoker who made fun of people with bad teeth. That guy angered me...teeth health is important to stay alive

[@LittleAsian_]

@@appletherapy Aw! That’s sad and soo unethical.

[@appletherapy]

@@LittleAsian_ Yeah. Forgot what his page was called. I wish I remembered because that kills his own job and it hurts the feelings of people who want to fix their teeth to live a happy and long life. I hope he got banned eventually because shaming is abuse

[@abundantcreative3307]

I love that he conquered his fear!

[@WorldsWorstBoy]

My teeth has effected my social life badly. I just got 3 root canals and im finally feeling comfortable enough to date.

[@ImPlague]

For some reason I thought I was just messed up. I'm just now at this moment realizing after doing some additional web search I'm suffering severely from dental phobia. I didn't realize this was real I thought I was just partly in denial and embarrassed but I swear everytime I think of it I always say I'm going I'm going to drive to one and try and get in. I'm going to call just to hang up the mere though terrifies me and it felt so irrational to myself to have this sudden fear. I've lost 1 tooth completely and 3 have basically craters. My 2 front are broken and frail and it's hard to admit I feel like I look like I'm just trash no matter how I look otherwise and I never cared for appearing any particular way before. Thank you for your story.

[@Yeah-fb6dd]

You aren’t alone. I have 2 broken mollers along with 2 other teeth that have big cavities. I’m so scared of going to the dentist even though I’ve been telling myself to go for 2 years now. It’s so bad I get scared when I even heard the word dentist.

[@Maca11]

​@@Yeah-fb6ddi can relate to this soo much, i am exatly in the same situation i dont know how to overcome fear i dont know anything

[@Yeah-fb6dd]

@@Maca11 Sorry to hear that. It sucks a lot. I was in the excruciating pain ever since the beginning of July and obviously it can’t be any good. Plus it’s going to be a ton of money. I mean a ton. It’s a very bad thing to have bad teeth because your brain is directly above them. We’re in the same boat. I’ll need a couple root canals, maybe even extractions too. It’s just gonna hurt so bad. I remember when I was a lot younger my dentist drilled / marked a cross into my wisdom teeth with a dremel. I remember her saying it was due to the fact they’d know to take it out some later time. But I never needed my wisdom teeth removed in the first place and I think that really fucked up my teeth by her doing that. Not putting all blame on her. Obviously it’s my fault my teeth are the way they are. But yeah. Wish you the best of luck

Interesting how the NHS wont fund or support or promote sedation for your anxious patients , but theyll fund hypnotherapy??!!

[@treshcoon1824]

Courageous man ❤️

[@user-dw1bz1hl6x]

I understand you don't like the dentist... but you're telling me you can't brush your teeth ? Even once a day? Jesus. Smh.

[@colinjava8447]

What's the point, they'll only get dirty again, waste of time.

[@user-dw1bz1hl6x]

@@colinjava8447 WHAT?! what kind of logic is that? Your teeth *will* rot and *will* fall out a lot faster if you don't brush them! We human beings get hungry every day, so we eat every day, right? We get dirty every day, so we wash ourselves every day! This is life. Your clothes get dirty, so you change your clothes every day etc. I mean.. i don't understand your comment ?

[@colinjava8447]

@@user-dw1bz1hl6x Exactly, you clean your teeth and yourself and your clothes just for them to get dirty again. It's completely pointless.

[@user-dw1bz1hl6x]

@@colinjava8447 pointless to clean yourself ? Okay,be dirty then. Your life, your choice. I won't be doing that, that's for sure. Oh shit, let me guess. you're a guy, right? Makes sense. 🤢

[@Quit3Cut3]

@@colinjava8447regular maintenance matters a lot. I wasn’t taught great growing up, and wished I was taught better before spending a car on all of my dental work. I’ve spent probably around 50k on a few implants and several crowns. Now I’m extremely paranoid, brush and floss 2-3 times a day, get cleanings every 3 months.

[@loonylinda]

that wasnt much help?...how did that help to lessen peoples fear?

[@appletherapy]

It looks like it's part of a series. It says ep4. Idk. If you can take anything away from this...the results he got were pretty good. That's inspiring. But it doesn't get rid of the fear and shame I admit.

[@user-mm2sj6xl1p]

I've never understood why some people in the United States are afraid of dentists, they just don't know about the dentistry of the Soviet Union, so they need to be afraid, but now there are none..

[@thedragonbrawler9311]

This is the United Kingdom. Can't you tell from the accent?

[@d.k.1394]

Nice

[@PurpleCinnamon666]

I want my teeth paper white i brush floss use mouth wash 2 times daily but there not white like paper towels there not fake bright white so I want to get mine pulled out and get implants in for something different because i am no satisfied with the whiteness of my teeth

[@prinncessizzy]

Teeth aren’t naturally super white so don’t feel conscious! If you want them to be whiter absoloutly do not pull out your healthy teeth, instead look into composite bonding or veneers. Implants are very expensive and aren’t as good as natural teeth

[@lauralove00]

Go to the dentist for teeth whitening it is much cheaper than getting implants or dentures even. You only need dentures if your teeth are rotten or have lost a bunch of them.

[@NikkieRoxxx]

Dont have them pulled!!! Nothing beats our original parts!!! And having glow in the dark pearly extreme white teeth is unnatural!!!

[@robproductions2599]

normal teeh for bri ish people

That's just a stereotype, we're not all like that you know 😂
