Just went to dentist and I have a cavity in my wisdom tooth and I've never had a cavity before and *deep breatgs* I am thinking I'm going to die. Need to calm down.

BTW, I'm no dentist, but I've had a TON of work done--mostly because I didn't go in my 20s out of anxiety. So I'm hear to tell you, it's WAY better in the long run to get things taken care of. There are meds available for the anxiety, and dentists can help....
-
OK, there's no way I won't get it done. I'm just scared.

Completely reasonable.
-
I think I'm just emotional because it was so unexpected and I wish I'd been referred sooner but I can't really blame anybody. Quite a few people said they might need to be removed.
-
Thank you for saying what you did though. It's no big deal and you're right to say I should just do it.

You can discuss the risks of keeping them, and ways to mitigate your discomfort if you do have the procedure (general vs. local anasthetic, for example). They are very low risk procedures, but can be a little scary at first.
-
I'm not keeping them except in a jar.

Had my w. teeth removed when I was about 17. Worked in a newsagent/sweetshop and ate shedloads of sweets. As such, mine were gonners...

I'm just so scared of everything. It's all unknown territory and I know dentists are supposed to be BAD which even though mine is not, growing up they were and even though I have no fillings I am scared. I am calming down though.
