Hi,

First time ever posting on something like this or even admitting I have bad anxiety,
I’ve always since I was very young had this and will frequently worry about potentially silly things or in my head I will convince myself the probability of something bad happening is much higher than it probably really is,

Recently for example I had a look in my own mouth with an intra oral camera (I’m a dentist) and I noticed a few suspect areas, I’ve never had work done myself before but just in case I got a friend to have a look for me - he decided sealing the teeth and monitoring would be sufficient and I myself initially agreed as we had both checked the X-rays we had taken as well as having 3 further colleagues check these and all agreed there was nothing of obvious note - that was fine - I now find myself worrying frequently that we have got it wrong and that I’m leaving decay in my teeth and that it will result in me needing lots of work and losing all my teeth - now as I type this I realise I sound INSANE - I guess I’m writing this here as I was hoping someone can relate - and also I want to know how people went about dealing with this as I’m currently driving my wife who is extremely supportive crazy haha 

I’ve always just left it before until these feelings would go away but I now have a young son and need to deal with it 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated 

Thanks
