I'm a boy of almost 15. I have a serious dental problem that kills my self-esteem. Brush your teeth 2-3 times a day. I'm ashamed to even laugh. I have a decayed tooth - pulpitis (some dentists call it a crater) up and back and two caries in the early stages. The problem is that I am terribly afraid of the dentist. Please, if anyone has had similar problems, share if it hurts and how long the procedure takes. I will really be very grateful if you let me know, because I will not decide to go to the dentist .. Thank you in advance! :)

It doesn't hurt at all. Only the typewriters are unpleasant, but there is no pain. If of course the dentist works properly. Otherwise, be careful because I had 1 caries and 1 pulpitis, I knew the caries, but the pulp of the tooth didn't hurt at all and I don't know where I found it. As a result, after "fixing" it, the tooth reacts quite strongly when I eat jam and thus spoils my tooth.
I have a friend like you. He experiences himself as a bodybuilder, a big man, chemicals, pills, he was going to beat him, she was going to slap him, a macho man was handing him out. When he hears about the dentist and his eyes water :-) LIGLYOVTSI! I can't tell you anything else.
Look, dentists don't eat people. They solve dental problems. Nowadays, a visit to the dentist is not as horrible as in the past. It's almost painless, says a man who has a lot of experience and has gone through all sorts of dental procedures. You will probably need to walk 4-5 times.
Hello. I am a woman, 25 years old. and from a very young age I have had a panicky fear of dentists (and all my life I have been to the only one who is a very good family friend of my parents). The man, apart from understanding his job, is super cool, smiling and predisposes you, but I don't. Until the situation became critical, nothing could make me go. And every time after he treated my teeth I would say "Hey, it's not so scary" ... until next time :) The conclusion is that the fear will not pass, but it's worse when you procrastinate. For this reason, my teeth are not in the best condition. I had pulpitis last year. After a sleepless night of pain and roar in the morning to see me run to the office. He had to treat it for two weeks because it was deep. Everyone anesthetized me and saved the day. I know that with two words no one will make you stop being afraid, but you better go, because it will get worse. Unfortunately, these are things that progress very quickly and can have serious consequences for your health.
Hello! I'm the same as you - I'm experiencing HYSTERIC TERROR from dentists. I've always been that way. I will share with you how I overcame my fear: I changed dentists until I came across a dentist who cared about the patient's psyche. f. there was a psychological approach - predisposition, explanation of each procedure, kind attitude. But for this purpose - YOU HAVE TO SHARE YOUR FEAR FROM DENTISTS FROM THE DOOR. They will not laugh at you. It's called DENTAL PHOBIA. SUCCESS!
There is nothing you can do but go to the dentist. It's not as scary as people think. Now there are strong anesthetics from which you do not feel anything. Only it is paid extra (5 to 10 BGN up and down). Heal your pulp first.
Hey, be a man. Just tell yourself it won't hurt, and it won't hurt that much. Just when you go inside, don't show that you are afraid and don't stop for a moment, because it's getting worse. That's how I overcame my fear and I wasn't afraid of second grade
There is such a phobia - it has been discovered and documented in a timely manner. It will be good to overcome yours (health is most important), but first find a dentist who understands his job. If you are going to die of fear, then at least things should be done properly in a relatively short time, and not go to the "specialists" while you are alive. PS Number 2 - I adore people who criticize others and at the same time ignore their own shortcomings. You are the top! :)
The longer you wait, the worse it gets. As long as your tooth is fixed, it doesn't hurt. Then it may hurt for a day or two, but it is less than it hurts now. See when you lose your teeth because you didn't fix them in time when they hurt.
Walk without teeth then.
Number 2, so I'm a crib because I'm afraid of the dentist? !! Very smart!
At the age of 13 I was in the same way with pulpitis and caries, and I also have a great fear of dentistry, but the pain was unbearable, I couldn't sleep (because of the pulpitis). I had a caries first, it hurt a little, then the pulp, and the other caries I felt almost nothing. However, the pulp was horrible, they have to clear it with some swabs, but they are like needles, but a bit like a swirl, they put it between the gum and the tooth and it really hurts, at least it hurt me, they put me under anesthesia, but it didn't work for me, otherwise if they first make your pulp and then your caries ok ;-). Now I have a small caries, but I'm worried I don't know why, because I'm in America now and I don't know how it is here and maybe that's why. In Bulgaria at least I knew my dentist ;-). Ok I know I wrote this comment late, but I still hope to help someone! ;-)
And I'm afraid of the dentist. Just thinking about it makes me sick. One hurts me the other two are early. The strange thing is that I was born spoiled. Strange huh?
It's like it's me! I also have a huge fear of dentists. Even now I have tooth decay, but I'm afraid to go to the dentist! I used to be scared and walk, but now I'm scared again! If your caries is in an early stage, I advise you to go - it's not so scary, it hurts depending on how big your caries is. The continuation of the procedure again depends on this. I hate that machine that cleans caries. It smells a little nasty and makes a sound that scares me. I like to go to the dentist during the week while I'm at school, because that's how I can pick up my friend for courage! Come on success! :)
