Somebody please answer... I am very scared right now :((

Awe sweetie take a slow deep breath.....you're gonna go and get it looked at. I can understand why you are scared but I believe everythings gonna be ok the dentist is gonna look at it and then IF there IS an infection then they will treat it...if there's not then they'll help you figure out why you have that taste in your mouth. Try to hang in there I know how it feels to be so afraid and have so much anxiety. Keep talking if it helps. Sending you calming hugs.

Those feelings at night are definately what I've been struggling with too! Your ok listen to my story hun-

When I was about 13 I got four teeth removed. Yes FOUR lol I even had some impacted teeth removed which is always more chance for infection and pain. Anyways the taster you are experiencing I had also. I was fine. I took good care of my mouth post op and followed all directions and I was fine. Now back in the day I did not have Anxiety I do recently but I do remember expereince the taste. Don't worry! I know so much easier said than done but you did everything you can. You made an appt to see your specialist and you are being safe than sorry. Tomorrow you will know and your mind will be at ease. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Im really sorry about your fears. I just wanted you to know that I had a really painless surgery and that there are very few risks of complications.

Thank you everyone for your responses. I made the appointment. Its going to be at 2:20 today. The Dentist is going to take a look at me.... IM so scared that if there is an infection, thats its really bad, and that im going to die... i cant stop thinking this....

I totally can understand that a fear you have , however illogical it seems to someone else, FEELS very real to you. My sister , a pysch nurse, once gave me something to read with an acronym of
F.E.A.R =False Evidence Appears Real

it helps to do cognitive behavior therapy so (in the future) you can talk yourself down from letting the fear over ride logic and facts.
I promise you won't die from this but I recognize that me saying that probably won't change your thoughts on it.
Seriously you could benefit from a therapy that can help you learn how to take that thought/fear, and logically replace it with a calming thought that is based in reality.
hope I did not get too preachy preachy but trust me when I say I have been there! And still sometimes , my old anxiety sneaks up on me when I least expect it.
(for me, hormonal shifts really seem to trigger mine)
You will be ok. If nothing else, look up how to do deep (slow) breathing.............it is the most effective , quickest way to calm yourself. I can tell you specifically how , if you want me to.
peace and tranquility to you~

and by the way, many people who have fears/anxiety tend to REALLY get it BAD , for dental visits. I found a website once that was really helpful and informative, I need to try to find it again. Don't know if it is on my old computer or this one that I bookmarked.

sorry for the multiple posts but this site won't let me edit my posts. I did find the site I told you about. It got me through some scary times when I had many bad problems with teeth and fear. You should go to their home page and browse around. I did not see your specific fear but they do have a forum so you could ask questions; here is the link for that:

also, it dawned on me if you have such a fear of bacteria, etc, entering your body during dental treatments, you may want to ask the dentist about preventative antibiotics. they may say it's not needed but at least you could have the talk, and realize there are always options out there and you ultimately do have power over your choices. :)

Well, i went to the dentist, and it turns out that the area is NOT infected. He told me it was healing fine, but just put me on antibiotic just incase. I feel much better knowing it's not infected.
