crippling fear of the dentist
honestly, i’m scared of most medical type practices. general doctors and tests, eye doctors, etc. dentists are my main phobia though, everything about them gives me an anxiety attack. sometimes even just the mention of teeth gets my heart racing. anyone else feel this way?
@imaginativeSkies3264 Hello! I hope this message finds you well! A lot of people have a fear of doctors! This is called White Coat Syndrome and it's really common, so you're not alone! I sometimes get nervous at the doctor's and will get a rash too. I think something that could be really helpful is expressing your concerns with the doctor you are seeing! They are very understanding and they can help calm you down before they proceed with the appointment. Communication can be really helpful! I hope this helps! ❤️
What about the smell?? The smell freaks me out..
I became a dental assistant at one point to help me over come my fear. Helped a little but still hate it.
