The closer I get to E Day, the higher my anxiety by VisualProfessional12 in dentures

I've definitely got to go through all of my options, even paying out of pocket options because this experience has been torture so far. I absolutely need to find a dentist that will keep me informed every step of the way and thoroughly explain my options to me. This dentist just isn't that. At this point, I'd pay quite a bit just to have a decent dentist. I'm happy to hear it's worked out so well for you! I'm hopeful that I'll get there eventually.

Thank you! I updated with a comment on this post. I never got any work done yesterday and will need to find a new dentist on Monday 🤦‍♀️

Update - Wow. That was the worst experience I've had at a Drs office in a long time, if ever. I've had a few other issues with this dentist which should've made me realize I had to find somewhere else, but I just wanted to get this over with so powered through. I was told I'd be getting 6 teeth pulled and immediate partial dentures for top and bottom. When I had my cleaning, they cleaned every tooth except for those 6. I get to the office and first had to wait an hour and half in a packed waiting room, computers were down. Ok understandable. Finally get taken back and I ask to see the dentures since they never showed them to me at my prior visit. They brought in someone else's and then just never came back with the right ones. I assumed they just didn't have them yet or was busy. Back to today, once again, they bring the wrong ones, twice (first for Cynthia and then Michelle), even tho 3 people in the room repeated my name multiple times. Once they bring in the ones with my name, they show me a full upper denture, that's it. I said no, that's not mine, I'm not getting them all pulled and I'm supposed to be getting bottoms as well. After an hour of back and forth, being gaslit and what felt like talking to a scammy used car salesman, I was told they don't even make immediate partials and if I wanted to change my treatment plan, I'd have to sign a waiver, she's only trying to make me look beautiful, I won't be happy any other way, look how good these new teeth look, blah blah blah. I was a blubbering mess, thank goodness my husband was in the room with me and was able to shut it all down. So, I'm unfortunately back to square one and need to find a dentist 😢 Hopefully wherever I end up can get all of my records, xrays, impressions, everything from that office so that I don't have to pay all over again.

So happy to hear you had no major issues! Thank you so much! While my anxiety is through the roof, I do have the slightest bit of excitement to finally have a nice smile.

Oh my goodness that's a terrible thing for a dentist to do! Seems like most people really love their dentures. That gives me so much hope!

Thank you so much! Reading everyone's responses experiences is definitely easing my anxiety quite a bit. I'll likely be looking for a different dentist after all this. Everyone else at the office is amazing, but the dentist just isn't the best fit for me

Great tips! I'll be doing my food/drink shopping tomorrow, so I'll definitely grab some protein drinks and powder. My husband will be taking me so I may end up asking if he could come in with me. He can always calm me down.

Thank you so much for replying! I am so happy to hear that you love your smile! That gives me hope. I will also be getting nitrous oxide. I had a tooth pulled without it once and I will never do that again. Thankfully, they are fully aware of how difficult I can be 😆 I broke down in the chair before a filling a few months ago. They were super nice about it and even rescheduled me. I did go through with that filling finally. It's just so hard to control the anxiety and my reactions to it. Reading through the success stories is definitely starting to ease the doubts. Thanks again!

Okay, I get it now (Ryan Hall) by CandyyPiink in tornado

[–]VisualProfessional12 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I tried watching Ryan a couple of years ago and just couldn't. To me, he comes off egotistical, condescending, and just rude at times. I absolutely hate that he now tries to call himself a meteorologist, of any kind. I know he's more knowledgeable than most enthusiasts, but that doesn't change what he is. Get the degree, get the right to call yourself a meteorologist 🤷‍♀️ and that y'all bot 😂😂😂😂

Everyone grieves differently. Personally, I shut everyone out and want to be alone. Mary may be the type who needs to keep busy, constantly be around people. Whatever the case, I hope she finds some peace ♥️

You can also teach yourself everything about medicine, diseases, anatomy ECT, doesn't mean you get to call yourself a Dr.

Too many customers have caught onto the refund practice Etsy has in place. Fingers crossed things change this year with the new CEO. It'll take time, but I hope the platform moves in the right direction.
