Dentist?

[BlondeCanadian]

Ive got an appointment at the dentist tomorow, so it got me thinking, Who's scared of the dentist? any terrible experiences?.. I hate the dentist

[bcteagirl]

I don't particularily like it.. but then again aside from braces I have never had to have any serious work done.. If I ever needed fillings, or anything more serious I think it would scare me.

im going in for a root canal .. sooo im pretty freaked out (had one before and the "freezing" wore off before they were done)

I just had a root canal and I was amazed..it was fine! Did not hurt at all and I hate the dentist and needles!

As for my horror story its similar to yours...freezing wore off;

I got the gas when i got my root canal, that stuff is AMAZING!!! Especially if you get the gas before the freezing, as im terrified of the needles. You dont feel a thing!!! BEST STUFF EVER THAT GAS IS

Oh ya and im absolutely TERRIFIED of the dentist

Did you just ask for the gas??? Hmm maybe i should try that

They wouldn't give it to me...I tried for my wisdom teeth & my root canal . I would definitely ask them, I've heard if you can get it that's the way to go!

Yes i asked for it as alot of people had told me about it. Ask about it when you make the appointment, cause it takes a while to set up. But it is so worth it!!! I came from a small town so i had to ask for it before hand as dentist had another office 45 mins away and sometimes kept it there. So on safe side request it before hand, and if your not sure about it, ask about it. Some dentists dont carry it (might have changed since when i got it).

I HATE the dentist. My first time in the chair I kicked him where the sun don't shine. The thought of pulling teeth will literally make me throw up. Musn't think about it, musn't think about it. Ugh, now I've thought about it.

i love the dentist.

When I was little my mom took me to dentist and the dentist game me a tooth brush. I was so excited.
I feel so confortable when I sit in the chair nowdays...I could even nod off . I wanted to be a dentist when i was a child. i would play dentist with my frinds. THeir parents thought i was weird.
Have to add in new area for poll " love going to dentist".

Of course my pocket book hates it

[Prue]

Awww that's horrible Did they at least give you pain killers?

[BlondeCanadian]

nope, just sent me on my way (after racking up a huge bill doing extra X-rays) then said come back in afew weeks and we'll put in a permanent filling...

Ohhh I feel for you! I had to do the stupid going back thing too! Good news is you'll probably feel better by the morning.
