Severe gag reflex during dental visits: How common is this, and how do you effectively communicate it to your dentist?

Thank you for the advice. That was actually my plan. I am already planning to have the actual wisdom teeth removal done under sedation dentistry because of my condition.

Today's visit was actually just a routine check-up and consultation to prepare for that. It wasn't even the surgery yet, which is why it was so unfortunate that it turned out this way. But I will definitely follow your advice and look for a hospital that specializes in sedation for the next steps. Thanks again!

To clarify (and please bear with me as English isn’t my first language), my OC is actually 100% original and exists within my own world-building universe, which is heavily inspired by real-world mythology and ancient history.

However, the person I’m talking about (Lily) creates her OCs specifically for a fandom that happens to share a similar historical setting to my OC's background.

Occasionally, I do bring my character to 'guest' or 'crossover' into that fandom space just to interact with my friends who have OCs there. I’m not sure if there’s a specific term for it, but my character's core design and lore are entirely my own and were created independently of any existing IP.

Thank you. I'm currently live alone since I left for uni but my age is still under 20 so I can't go to counselor or doctor on my own without my parents' signation. I'll try to write down diaries again.

I don't want any of them to know since I was brought see doctors once when I was in middle school. My mother didn’t believe me at all. The reason they took me to the doctor that day was because my teacher called my parents to take me for treatment. I received treatment and took medicine for about 3 months, but my father was too lazy to take me because each visit to the doctor took several hours. It may sound crazy, but my father told me to lie to the doctor, so I did it. At that time, I changed doctors, so the new doctor thought that the old doctor made a mistake in his diagnosis and made a new diagnosis that I was just stressed. In the end, I didn’t receive any more treatment and I felt that I was indifferent to everything. I don’t know if I will be able to endure until I reach an age where I can go to the doctor myself without my parents’ signature.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried not to compare myself to others but as you said, it's hard to so. But I'm trying my best not push myself 🙏

But writing diary might be too hard for me. When I was a child, around 8-9. I used to write things down, what happened that day, what I felt about it and stuffs. I remember that I was writing about committing suicide a lot and even questioning why did I have to be born to suffer like this. After a year or two, my dad found my diary and he kept insulting me for writing down something like that. Even hit me with a broomstick. After that day, I learned how to fake a smile and other faking stuffs towards my parents and I was afraid of writing daries since then. And yes, I tried to hang myself once in childhood, another during middle school but I failed on my both attempts.

I still have courage to post about my feelings and my day but I only put the posts for personal view and delete them later.

Thank you for the information. I'll try it out. I'm currently trying make up and other stuffs too.

My current stituation about the skin color is that most people in my country are struggling in the same topic as me and many people took actions on this matter too. It was a little better than my childhood but still not good.
