Ohhhhhh, finally a thread that I can totally relate too. I absolutely HATE the dentist. So much that until a month ago I haven't been in 10 years and now need all sorts of work. My fear began when I was 6 y/o and the dentist went to put novicaine (sp?) in my mouth and I screamed so he back handed me. My mom ripped me out of the chair and took me home. My second incident was when I was 16, I was having my wisdom teeth pulled and I woke up out of anethestica (sp?) to find the dentist strattling me and yanking on my mouth, which I am told how they do it, and then I went back to la la land. Last month I went to a new dentist and am having laser dentistry done. I love it, no pain!!!! |
