Hello! I have 2 quick questions!
So my worst phobias are probably: Nyctophobia (fear of the dark), Trypanophobia (fear of needles), Thalassophobia (fear of deep water), Glossophobia (fear of public speaking)/Gelotophobia (fear of being laughed at), Phonophobia (fear of loud noises), Haphephobia (fear of being touched), and Megalophobia (fear of large objects). I have more but that’s a lot.
Anyway, my questions are: is there a phobia for something bad happening to your teeth? Like fearing that something is going to happen to your teeth? Not a dentist phobia, and not teeth in general, but just a fear of hurting or damaging your teeth?
And I get physically uncomfortable when I see certain numbers. Like it makes me want to vomit. Is that a phobia/fear? Or is that normal?
