I haven’t been to the dentist in about 10 years since having depression and anxiety and it affecting my oral hygiene due to embarrassment and people thinking they can say it how it is with little regard to how it makes me feel because they don’t know I have mental health issues or they don’t understand mental health, I have symptoms of mouth cancer and finally went doctors after building the courage up and was told to go to the dentist, I don’t know why does it mean it’s not cancer so go dentist it’s a dirty mouth, or he doesn’t know anything about oral cancer but then shouldn’t of he got another doctor? I’m not going dentist, which I also told the doctor I hadn’t been since my depression due to embarrassment and anxiety so what should I do? Thanks Lisa
