In 7 mins. I have to go to the dentist to get my first cavitys done, and also one of my teeth is ruined, because what the braces did to my enamel. I am so scared. I never used to feel this way about the dentist. Nobody will reply before I leave but I guess I needed to vent!
I'm right there with you!
I don't like going either!
The worst part of it is that my sister is a dental hygentist! (sp) :o
ME! I'll join the club!!! I have a fear of the dentist (all doctors for that matter ;) )
I hope you're okay, Bre! :eek: ;)
I'll join the club. I'm so terrified of the dentist that I almost make myself upchuck before I go.
I'm back, I am so sore and they didn't num my mouth enough so I actually felt some of the drilling :o . I feel so puffy!

Glad you made it through ok!
I LOVE my dentist! The best, IMHO - believes in a pain-free and pleasant experience and delivers every time. I almost look forward to going.
FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real.
Awww Bre-I know you know my feelings towards the dentist also. Just think it is saving you a lot of pain later in life. Did they give you any painkillers? Whenever I go to the dentist they hop me up on them, lol. Vicodin...oxycotin...hydrocodone. hahaha, it works pretty well, its the only thing I look forward to.
I'll join the club! Actually I've never had any problem with my teeth (not even a cavity) but anyways, everytime I go I can't help but feeling really nervous. :o
Bre, that sounds awful! I'm glad you made it through ok and I'm sure you're glad it is over.
I would have asked for more, but I just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.Quote:

Nope no pain medications. They said if I start to feel sore I should take some tylenol.Quote:

Bre- take some advil- that will help with the soreness and swelling.
I have TMJ which can lock open at anytime in the exam- and the release is very painful. I hate going to the dentist..
I'll join the club. Every year I postpone going to the dentist until I couldn't anymore, then I would go, but feel very forced, and absolutely hateeeeeeeee it!
I have that to. I have to go to the jaw specialist later this week.Quote:
