Tomorrow I get to go to the dentist, and I use the term "get" loosely. I just can't tell you how much this idea pleases me. I am normally a die-hard when it comes to appointments. I go every six months without fail for a cleaning. I've never had any problems (knock-wood).
Then, I moved.
Let me preface this to say that I went to the same dentist for nearly 15 years back in California. While I don't think you could classify me as extremely freaked out about the visits, I never look forward to them. I'd say I always get a mild case of anxiety.
But I got comfortable with my dentists. They were a husband and wife team, very close to my age. Very, very, very aware of their patients and very caring.
I've been here for over a year and a half. I still haven't gone. How sad is that? And now? My tooth hurts. It's just an ache but it's there none the less. Being one that is quick to back the hearse up to the door, I am imagining all sorts of excrutiatingly painful possiblities.
They advertise as pain free. Does that mean they have seriously good drugs and will knock me completely out? If anyone wants to come and hold my hand, it will be much appreciated. I'll even share some of my drugs.

I am the same way. I never miss a cleaning but do not look forward to it. They will probably give you laughuing gas. Good luck!

Well, okay...I'll hold your hand...not that it would help much after I passed out. I'm sort of the patient every dentist fears.

Hmm don't swear at me last time I was at the dentist well that was while ago and was a different one to the previous appointment as the other one had moved on for more MONEY. Good luck (your gonna need it)
