I have braces and have had them for six months and today I had to go for a checkup and cleaning but they couldn't do it due to the wire still being on so they made an appointment for me a week from now. The last time I got a checkup and filling was six months ago and even though I've been going to the dentist consistently I'm still super scared of X-Rays and the fact that they may find something horribly wrong with my teeth. I know that I might probably only need cleaning since I go to the dentist every six months but it's still scary since they thought I had to get a root canal but a filling ended up fixing it. I am mostly calm until it's actually time to get out of the car and go in. I don't really know what I'm asking for maybe some reassurance or advice? Thanks.
