I'm so freaked out by dentists, it's horrible. I get sick to my stomach and panic attacks. I've been trying to do better by going to the dentist, and my 2nd checkup this year is coming up. Not thrilled with that. Before getting my wisdom teeth out and having some issues, I hadn't been to the dentist in 7 years... bad, I know! After getting the wisdom teeth out, I really freaked, and didn't go back for another 1 1/2 years, but then the cap on my one front tooth chipped and I had to go back. Oh well. They got me, suckered me into getting a cleaning and then fixed the chipped tooth. They're so devious.

Hope your extractions go well, and that you recover quickly, AND get lots and lots of pain meds!!!
Unfortunately it's due to dental issues that they have to come out. I was avoiding going to the dentist because I was afraid I'd hear "the lecture" about how bad they are. I'm paying for them now (literally!), but when I get this all done, my teeth will look a lot better.
