I Love Thor Donating Member | I used to be fine with it until I had a bad experience where the novicane wore off a little bit before he started drilling. Now it just makes me cringe!!! |

| I work for a dentist and I see it ALL the time. Do they have nitrous oxide (laughing gas), sometimes that helps. I would have to say the funniest is when it is the men. Sorry guys!!!!!!! But no, you are not alone. I would have to say I much prefer the dentist than the gynecologist. Now that one about brings me to tears.

| My dentist gives me an antiangziety (sp) drug to take before I come in to have any work done. I have to go in the week after next to get some work done and he told me to come by next week to pick up my perscription for one pill. It helps alot, I use to cry in the dentist chair. I am so afraid of dentists! I tense up and break out in a cold sweat and alot of the time my jaw will clamp shut... you are so not alone in your fear!!!! I too cry on my way there and on the way home To make matters worse, I am very allergic to flouride, I throw up if I ingest even a small amount. I've been going to the same dentist for well over 15 years but I am still scared that he is going to forget about my allergy and I am going to throw up all over him

| dentist Sweetie...I do not know what the dentists are like now in the UK..BUT in the 50's/60's it was a torture chamber. They used no novacaine. I had my teeth filled with nothing but a pat on the shoulder. I know it must be so different now...at least I sure hope so. Here in the US, I pick a Dentist who caters to cowards. They are listed just that way in the phone book..if my dental insurance doesn't accept them..then I pay it myself. All they pay for is cleaning anyway...I am new here in Florida and go in March for a cleaning to a new dentist..he is listed as Dr. NO-Pain..and will give you a sedative for cleaning..heck, he will give you a pill to sit in the office and wait..that is the worst for me..LOL I hate the smell of the place!!! I have had root canal with not an ounce of discomfort, even had two teeth pulled wide awake..but for some reason cleaning and scraping does me in..LOL I need to be medicated. And by the way..when we lived in the UK my brother fell and cut his forehead. The doctor came and stitched it up in the kitchen with no novacaine..heck, my father said next time he would do it..I always worried about getting cut and my father sewing me up using my mothers sewing thread and needle. |

| I think I'm one of the few people in the world that LOVE going to the dentist. If I could afford it I would have my teeth cleaned every week, I love love love it! I know, I'm a little crazy! |

| [QUOTE=Claire]My dentist gives me an antiangziety (sp) drug to take before I come in to have any work done. I have been frightened since my teens, i have just changed dentists and have been offered a sedative for the 1st time ever!!!! Can't believe i've gone all those years without one.

| When I was a kid, I bit my dentist, and he eventually had to put a rubber block in my mouth so i didn't take his hand off. And so started the love relationship between dentists and me

| I don't mind at all, but maybe that's because I've never had a cavity
