sometimes what we fear the most
isnt all that bad when the time comes .  Todays dentristry has come a long way from the way it was in my dad's day.  Then there were no pain killers! Dont worry about the dentist, just go

Darkmother--

Thanks! I am scared out of my wits... that is why I keep putting off calling and making an appointment... I don't even know if I am more afraid of what he will do, or what he is going to TELL me I NEED to have DONE....  Thanks for the words!

Fear of the Man with the Drill
Oh, god. I know what you mean too. I've gotten so freaked out before that I actually got up and left. I did discover that I was very sensitive to the ephedrine in the numbing meds they use. It was making me have panic attacks. Once they used the med without that, I relaxed more. Still, I hate it. I use the gas every time I go. It makes it more bareable. I do avoid it though. One thing that pisses me off is how expensive they are and dental insurance is crap. Dental insurance should be covered under medical. It doesn't make sense to have it separate when something can get infected and give you blood poisoning, etc. I feel for you. Hey, I feel for me. I have to go back very soon...
