Starting with a more sensitive topic into the world of blogs is maybe not the best but I will do that now anyways.
My problem is that my bf said to me that I grind my teeth sometime in my sleep and the last time was like REALLY loud. I'm scared tho of going to the dentist because the last time I've seen one is now 3-4 years ago (missed the last appointment and was since then a lil bit afraid) + I have so much trouble with brushing teeth every day (I'm neurodivergent and I hate toothpaste + I forget things easily), so I'm scared to go after all these years because I know they will judge my dental hygiene. But on the other hand I really should go.
Has anyone tips how to overcome this dumb fear?
Thx for any help/ advice

Your fear isn’t dumb and it’s completely normal to feel that way
I was afraid to go to the dentist too
Some things that helped my anxiety was distracting myself
I would count to 100 or do the box breathing method
I also recommend telling your dentist that you’re nervous about going to the dentist
