I have GAD and have not been to the dentist for 6 years. I was just building up the confidence to go when covid and lockdown hit and now I’ve finally made contact with my old dentist about setting up an appointment which is a huge step for me. I’m worried that they won’t have availability for ages and that I’ll lose my nerve and cancel. I’m also super scared there’s going to be lots of issues with my teeth and that the dentist will judge me for not going sooner.
