You’re amazing! I had a bad experience at the dentist myself, (he was asking me incredibly inappropriate questions when I was underage, who just so happened to also be the one who couldn’t repair my tooth I didn’t know was messed up from a traumatic car accident.).. so I had to get it pulled by another Dr. and then my teeth shifted and became a bit crooked.

I haven’t been back in a much longer time due to anxiety and fear of shame. This gives me hope that I could explain my history too and not have some idiot who assumes things make a passive comment about “coming in sooner next time.” Or something.

I wish you the best, just know you are my hero!
