Fear of making a doctor's appointment

[AngelaMc]

I also have the fear of making Doctors appointments, but mainly Dental Appointments. My biggest fear is when they numb my mouth with that big needle, I start shaking and I would rather just be knocked out until they are finished. I know prolonging the situation makes nothing better, especially if I have a cavity or another issue.

This may be alarming to some people, but I'm going to share something personal. I haven't been to the dentist for almost ten years, and I can count on one hand the amount of times I've brushed my teeth in that time. I got out of the habit of brushing somehow, and now it's very unpleasant to brush because my gums bleed so much. I have a very bad memory, and it's hard for me to add new things to my daily routine. I also am afraid to go to the dentist now because I know that I am in a bad situation with my teeth...

Yes, I recently (As in the pst year) developed a fear of going to the doctors.
