So I quit tobacco on thanksgiving after going through some things, most notably a break-up. I’ve had a bout of anxiety before which had made a brutal return along with a new onset of depression anxiety. I had made appointments with both my general practitioner and family dentist just because I had made the decision to live a little healthier. Appointment with my GP went smoothly; everything checked out and he said my anxiety and depression was likely stemming from quitting cold turkey and it would take a month or two for my body to adjust, which it did and I thought I was in the clear. I guess you could say the appointment with my dentist went okay as well considering I hadn’t been in five years. He found and filled one cavity. This brought my total to 4 or 5 fillings and a crown. He didn’t have much to say about the rest of my mouth which is what I assume to be a good thing. Something after this appointment however revived my anxiety and I have been losing it since. I am deathly afraid that I’m going to lose my teeth. I’ve gone out and spent hundreds on toothbrushes, waterpiks, and mouthwashes. I’m a 30 year old male who has served overseas, and back home here as a first responder, I’ve seen some pretty messed up stuff that’s never made me lose an ounce of sleep but this is knocking me down pretty hard. Has anyone been through something similar or have any advice? I’m not opposed to seeking help but I’m not quite sure where to start. If nothing else thanks for listening, stay safe out there!
