Repression, not wanting to acknowledge illnesses?
Hello everyone,
It is possible that people are indirectly suffering from the consequences of an illness but do not want to admit it.
A 70-year-old person constantly sucks on their bad teeth; all but four of them have been lost. Their pronunciation is slurred and sometimes unclear and artificial. Their tongue constantly tries to support their upper and lower jaws, and as a result they constantly move back and forth in their mouth, almost rotating back and forth in their mouth.
However, the person has a strong fear of dental treatment, is disgusted by full dentures, is on basic social security and does not understand that the behavior with the tongue is not normal – simply represses it.
Zum Zahnarzt gehen und fertig, wenn man sich nicht traut ist man selber schuld und muss damit leben
Of course, you then delight those around you with disgusting smacking, gulping, and gurgling noises. It's not nice to have to endure that for three hours every day.
May I ask if this is yours?
I don’t know, maybe you should try that she’s just going there and just being there, but not talking to the doctor. It should therefore become more familiar with the situation. I can no longer say more about this:(
The dentist said, “Well, your mother has to come in – otherwise it is not.”
Of course, that can be good for her to be ashamed of her teeth. But can also be that she doesn’t want to hear what she probably knows she has bad teeth or bad oral hygiene. They talked to the dentist about her mother not even coming to the waiting room, she’ll be able to help.
I am a dental technician in training 🙂
Absolutely heavy case. In terms of agreements and consent, it cannot motivate. Apparently, the mere thought about “now it’s going to the dentist”. Maybe she’s ashamed of her bad bite or the oral area is something like an intimate zone for her. May I ask you if you have studied or studied dentistry or psychology?
Oha das ist dann ein schlimmer Fall. Es kann aber noch gar nichts passieren bevor sie nicht ja sagt. Sie braucht keine Angst haben vor oder während noch nach der Behandlung. Wenn was gemacht wird dann mit Absprache deiner Mutter und ihrer Einverständnis.
I already have. The dentist is across the street from us and has agreed to speak to my mother only in the waiting room. The problem is, she doesn't even go there because she's so scared.
See if there’s a dentist who specializes in anxious patients who can help you and your mother.
Das kann sie sich selbst nicht erklären. Mit 8 Jahren war sie wohl beim Zahnarzt, da musste sie auf dem Schoß ihrer Mutter im Behandlungsstuhl sitzen, wurde angeblich auch mit Lachgas narkotisiert aber ohne jeden Erfolg. Ich vermute, dass ihr die Situation, vielleicht das Ausgeliefert sein Angst macht. Sie sagt, sie weiß nicht was dann als nächstes kommt wenn sie auf dem Stuhl sitzt beim Zahnarzt.
What could it be with her that she was afraid of a dentist?
Yes, for my mother.
He’s old enough to decide.
His life. His will.
The last shot and swallow sounds pretty bad. What could possibly arise from this behavior/disorder?
