Dentist, wisdom tooth, and scared to go alone

Owlie

Hi,

I have an appointment for dentist about my wisdom tooth, but im scared to go alone. I've always had someone come with me to appointments.

I'm in a uni in Wales, family is in England, spoke to 111 about it and they said they could get someone to phone me tomorrow morning, which I've been crying about for the past 5 hours now. The phone call is one thing, going to the dentist alone about wisdom tooth pain is another.

I didn't tell them I was autistic on the 111 line because you know what people are like, but the pains getting worse and I can't eat nothing, I dunno what to do.

They obviously couldn't squeeze me in earlier because I phoned at around 5, they got back to me at quarter to 6. I'm js sobbing and I don't know what else I can do besides wait till 9am tomorrow morning.

The anticipation is kinda killing me.

So sorry if this is in the wrong thread, most of my friends have gone to bed, so I can't ask them for comfort or advice.

    I know exactly what you're going through. I've got an upcoming dentist appointment set for next week where I need to have a filling done, but the procedure involves them numbing my gum with injection.. and I have a Crippling Needle Phobia ScreamFearfulCold sweat My mum said she'd come with me for support but she can't come into the room with me and I've been having anxiety fuelled nightmares about it as it draws nearer Sob

    I feel awful I haven't got any advice for you but I thought it was best to let you know the you weren't alone in this topic, that you're not the only one
