I love my dentist. He's really cool and so is his staff. When I was little I hated going so much that I had to be sedated before I went but now I'm fine!

Well I'd rather put up with the drilling and all that than to experience another abcessed tooth...that is the WORST pain I felt in my whole life!!!! OUCCCHHH
It had been years since I'd been to the dentist, so I needed to have a few things done. It really wasn't so bad, the worst part was having my teeth cleaned:eek: the rest of it was a piece of cake!
Next time I won't put it off for so long:o
For me, the worst part is holding my mouth open for so long! My dentist is so nice, as are the ladies who work with him. But I still dread it, everytime!!! Too bad I can't just go in there and chat with them instead!!! :)Quote:

anybody else fear the dentist? :D
Good luck with the crown. It isn't so bad, I promise. Two years ago, I had two root canals and two crowns. No problems, whatsoever.

I am currently suffering from having my wisdom teeth taken out. They came out on November 6th and my face swelled up like a chipmunk and now over a week later, I am still taking pain meds every 4 hours. They hit a nerve in my lower jaw and they are saying it may take 6 months for the feeling in my lower jaw to come back. It feels like constant novacaine injection that won't wear off. Needless to say.... I HATE going back to the oral surgeon. I think I preferred the pain of child birth over this! It didn't last as long.
Recommendation - if it don't hurt don't mess with it cause it will. This is terrible pain. :(
One nice thing about this ordeal is that the pups recognized mom was not feeling right and have gone out of there way to comfort me. :D
:eek: OMG!!! I am gonna have to erase this from my memory before I go have mine out...;)Quote:

I agree with Logan. I think the worst part of going to the dentist is having to keep your mouth open. :) My dentist is painless and I have been going to him for about 25 years! I don't know what I'll do if he ever retires - I guess I'll have to break in a new one! I worked as a dental receptionist for 10 years and have to say that neglecting your teeth can really leave you in a sorry state. Popcornbird, the cleanings are VERY important. Without regular dental cleanings you can develop gum disease which is the major cause of tooth loss - not cavities!
I do hate seeing the OB-GYN though. Have to psych myself up for that one! Also mammograms are no piece of cake either. OUCH!!!
