I am a 42 year old bus driver with 2 children and a wonderful husband. But in our household, things are a bit different when dental hygiene come around. I just finished reading your website and I'll have to tell you, I thought I was insane. But when I was 6, I had a dream that my teeth began crumbling and then fell out. It scares me out of my wits everytime I think about it! I've had one heart attack because of it. When I was 25, I got knocked in the mouth at a Cubs game from a fly ball and lost a tooth. I then went into Cardiac arrest and was taken to the nearest hospital. I never had the tooth replaced because I am terrified of the Dentist Office. I haven't been to a dentist in 20 years. Just thinking that my teeth are just going to crumble one day, fall out, and then get stuck in my throat runs chills up and down my spine. Then I would have to spit them out and I would choke on some of them. EEEK! Well, enough of that talk for me. I hope you can use my phobia for your website. And good luck. PS A name for this phobia could be Dentsaphobia. "Dents" means teeth in French.
i also have anouther phobia, that if i fall over and i knock all of my teeth out!! ;( ino its sounds totaly insane but i cant imagine how horrible that would be, i luv my teeth how they are! lol REAL!!! i htink it is because my friends little sister tripped over and lost half of her front tooth, and anouther frind ofc mine did exactly the same hitng. and also i have watched stuff like that on tv and it looks so painfull! i hope someelse is scared of this!!!
I have a very severe phobia of bad things happening to my teeth. I have always been sensitive about them, but lately it has been getting really bad. In the middle of the night sometimes I talk and when I close my mouth I can here my teeth coming together. It wakes me up and I think about what bad things I could have just done to my teeth. I finally have to get up and check that I haven't chipped any of my teeth. I also have had to have braces two times because I was afraid my teeth were becoming crooked again. The last month or so, since my seventeenth birthday, I have been having nightmares about my teeth becomming crooked, breaking, and falling out. Last night I woke up crying because I was so upset.
