I’m going to sound really dumb here but how can people tell the difference?

I have been having on and off jaw pain on one side(chewing food side) only for a few months. I am able to eat everything and have no sensitivity. My teeth also have been feeling clicky in the morning. I’m going to the dentist soon but I’m worried about this being serious.
I do have really bad anxiety,ocd and depression. But this whole clenching and jaw soreness thing came out of no where. Kind of hoping it is a TMJ and clenching issue instead of decay because that will just give me more stress. 😭 I have a hard time at the dentist anyways and when I had an extraction for ortho work years ago it was bad for me.
I do have an uneven amount of top and bottom teeth all 4 wisdom teeth still and my bite is not even at all. Painful side is closed and non painful side is open. Overbite and misaligned teeth
ANY advice or similar experiences?

Salam. So for the past few years I have not been to the dentist due to financial difficulties and having no insurance. It was not possible. I have not been in 5 years and hearing other people’s horror stories of having to lose teeth and getting root canals and then cracking those teeth is terrifying.
I’m going soon and I’m more scared of not even the money aspect but if so many things be wrong or having a serious procedure.
Life has been unkind to me and my family so many times when it comes to situations and all I do is pray and cry. I feel like I have cried more days than I have been alive.
I just want a normal cleaning with nothing wrong and to go back home.😭
Also if this is childish I apologize but I’m like one more bad thing is going to cause me to spiral and cry so much.
Any advice,stories? Also please pray for me.

I have a parent who ended up with severe issues after having me and my siblings and the treatments didn’t work and now they have implants. My parent is fine with it but it honestly just makes me sad because I don’t think anyone should go through pain for years.
I went to the dentists growing up and then I lost insurance/have very little funds as a student.I have a proper routine with flossing but idk if I’m getting paranoid or what but I’m scared for an upcoming appointment. Like I hate to be dramatic but as someone who already has anxiety about so many life things,I don’t think I can take another issue especially one regarding teeth,bone loss and gums issues. Like gum disease and root canals are serious and costs a lot of money and even then they are not a guarantee.
I don’t even have a social life and like zero confidence and having teeth/gums issues will just make it worse.

I have all my wisdom teeth and misaligned teeth from not wearing my retainer. I have been having a dull jaw ache in my left jaw for a few days and some days it’s on my whole bottom jaw. It’s worser on some days. I am able to eat all foods fine though with no issues and sensitivity. My misaligned teeth also have some weird twitchy clicky feeling that comes and goes. Also sometimes the pain goes away after taking a nap. Idk it’s weird.This started happening out of nowhere.

I have overcrowded teeth and only have 14 teeth on upper mouth and 16 on the bottom. 4 of those total teeth are wisdom teeth. So if I get those removed I will only have 26 teeth with 12 on upper and 14 on bottom. From an ortho and jaw perspective, should it be fine? Will a situation like this cause issues? I’m hesitant to take out my wisdom teeth already but I rather not deal with decay and other dental issues related to keeping wisdom teeth.

I got a school related position last year and had to quit due to financial issues(needing to work to pay for school).

Now I got the position again and I got a serious ankle/foot injury which will keep me from physically being at school for a while.
How do I make sure I don’t seem flaky? I genuinely wanted this position so bad and I’m greatful I got it twice but I guess life has other plans. I feel like my peers don’t like me and think I’m annoying for it tbh(they haven’t said anything but idk).

Linking accounts?
Hey so I am running an Instagram for an organization charity and I was wondering when I login if I click use another profile and login from there will it link my spam and for family and friends only private account or not?
I don’t have another device so I don’t have the option to use another phone.

23F My appointment is in July but I’m lowkey scared tbh. I have misaligned teeth and jaw soreness and have all wisdom teeth still. Floss at night and brushing 2x. I can bite and eat hard foods fine like chips,apples,Oreos etc. TMI But when I like swallow my saliva my teeth feel pressurey and there is like a weird cackley feeling(especially on front teeth) Is that a sign of loose teeth?
I know this is not a diagnosis place but I’m just worried tbh. I didn’t have this last year.

I do have a clicking noise when opening my jaw. My teeth feel pressurey but I am able to eat all different types of foods fine with no issues. I do have misaligned teeth and my wisdom teeth. I have done the wiggle test on my teeth and nothing wrong.But when I swipe with my tongue or swallow my own saliva they feel weird/pressure.
I have an appointment in July but I’m stressed about it.

Not talking about the BBQ thing.

Curious what club and event is out there. They had water buckets i think and it looked fun( I just finished a final)
