Went to the dentist today. Have to be referred for work now . I need 4 teeth taken out and fillings . I can't open my mouth wide enough for fillings or any thing . I'm being referred to have sedation which hopefully will relax the jaw so they can do what they need to do .

I really hate needles . I've decided not to worry about the needle at the moment . I'm gonna push it to back of mind until I get my referral letter

Sorry to read your news. But it sounds like you really need this dental work done. I remember you posting about the pain you were in. At least you know the cause now. You can't stay in that pain. So deep breath and be brave. I'm sure they will take very good care of you, especially when you tell them how anxious you are. Good luck with it all. X
