[Dynamic]

Due to tension in my jaw my tooth cracked
I finally went back to the dentist and I know others have been thru this


I’m OVERWHELMED crying mad I lost more (my teeth!?) I know it’s gonna be ok

And I’m thankful my mouth is not worse but I’m really sad :(

I’d love encouragement or stories that turned around for positive anything thanks

Hey I dont have much, it is very good you have been, when the pain of the moment passes you'll feel better.

I went through similar last year, not wanting to go, the pain builds to something overwhelming, a constant stress, shortly after the pain lessoned, like a pressure valved being opened and so much weight lifted from me.

Hopefully it will be or is the same for you!

I don't know if this helps, but I had found this website that links teeth to feelings. Each tooth relates to something. It helped me when I had teeth things (of which I have had many.....).

I can dig it out and share if that might help?


I just think having things happen in our mouth is emotive. Whether that's linked to trauma, or whatever. It's invasive. It is intrusive. It can be painful. So many things that evoke overwhelm.

But remembering it passes. It's ok. It is health care.

Good for you to face it. It is so hard. My two front teeth got cracked and discolored (from dying) and I kept them that way for years because I wanted to remember why it happened (a trauma) and I wanted to feel like I deserved it. I finally got crowns and it was a cathartic experience. Similarly I had a cracked tooth with a big cavity in it and I recently got a crown on it and it’s so nice to be able to eat without pain. Your crying is also a part of the healing process.

Aw thanks @Rose White

I'm so sorry you are going through this....It's a difficult thing in my experience. I was angry and depressed about losing teeth until I found acceptance and was out of pain. The finality of losing teeth and the mental flagellation was the worst.

Please go easy on yourself...deep breaths.

Much love @MrMoonlight that helps too

I went to the dentist again today I have an infection so I started antibiotics . I am emotional.

But overall they were really nice and they are gonna clean my teeth tomorrow.

I don’t know why I’m scared of antibiotics (maybe bc I’ve studied gut health so much)

Any tips appreciated

I took it with plenty of food. I need to chill.

Get some gut health food or supplements, they will unsettle your stomach a least a little so be prepared.

If it gets bad talk to your dentist and change to something else, dont persevere if you're suffering too much.

Well done for going.

They say probiotics are good.
