I dedicate this article to those who have been traumatized by dentists and still struggle withdental issues.
The problem is deeper than your broken, painful teeth. It is about how your previous dentists treated you and how they hurt your feelings.
Many people struggle with dental anxiety and stay away from dental procedures at all costs.
I also struggled with my teeth and got cheated and treated badly by dentists in the past. I got to the point where I started to analyze why it happened to me, and what's wrong with them.
In my opinion, dentists who behave nastily to their patients show greediness, pretend that they are on the top in their field, and leave their patients with pain because of their own inner fear of not being good enough specialists. They simply don't have the right personality and skills to work with people.
Dentistry is not only fixing teeth. It is something more: it is understanding and compassion of dental issues. It is also the ability to communicate and create positive, trustworthy, healthy relationships with their patients.
If your smile looks good and you have no pain, you are perceived differently, like a normal person. You feel normal and you are healthy, so you can keep going with life.
But the situation changes when you lose your teeth or the last remaining ones hurt.
Lots of people are ashamed about what happened to them, or they just feel ridiculed and not understood by the dentist.
Teeth are one of the most fragile, intimate parts of the body. When a person (here, the dentist) violates that important place and makes the condition of oral health worse, the emotional trauma begins.
From my own personal experience, I suffered from many dental problems and finding the right diagnosis took me two years of dental procedures.
During that time I met many specialists, many of whom didn't treat my teeth or me well.
Afterwards, during my own personal healing journey, I used a special process to remove toxic emotions. I felt emotionally devastated, but it was only temporary.
Toxic memories, fear, guilt, shame, stress, and low self-esteem are some of the many emotions related to dental PTSD, which drains your essential life-force energy.
People say, "It is OK, don't worry." But it is not OK! Emotions and your heart are great indicators of your inner truth.
Those people are afraid of questioning dentists' work. Dentists might be nice and treat you somehow OK, but only when you agree with what they say.
The situation changes if you start asking questions and looking for the truth.
Yes, the unbearable truth hurts.
Questioning a dentist's work may reveal their inadequacy, their own insecurities and their lack of important dental education.
Many people have been hurt by dentists and still suffer. But now, it is possible to remove all toxicity and bring your dignity and emotional resilience back to your life.
