I am going tomorrow for a check up.
I don't like it but I value my teeth more than the 15 minutes of anxiety so I keep going back every 6 months.
We like torture don't we lol!

Well done Jade.
I don't like going to the dentist either and avoid it if possible.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
Good on you Jade
I had to go last Friday while i was up in Lancs, had toothache since wednesday and turned into an abscess....and i sooooo have a phobia with dentists.

Well done Scoot:D[^]
I have a really sensitive tooth at the moment and am dreading going to have it checked out :(

I am going to the denist today and am dreading it. I hate that feeling of being pinned down. I am just praying to God that I don't have a panic attack. Glad your visit went well.
Take care,[8D]

I went today and had a check up and clean.
It was ok but he has you laying horizontally and I don't like that. They also didn't get the suction right so at one point I thought I was drowning and had a coughing fit lol.
The good news is that I don't have to go for another 9 months now so a result all round and my teeth are all nice and clean too!
Nicola
Well done Jade :)
I don't like the fact I'm lying down either, I feel really trapped. And the feeling of not being about to swallow...not nice.
I was supposed to go at the weekend but it was cancelled :D so I have another week to build up to it now, not sure if that's good or bad though!

Hi Jade
Well Done !!
Great to hear about your detist success !!
Best wishes.
Mo.
Hi all,
well I made it through the dentist appointment with any panic. I did however take half of a xanax before I went. I just could feel that fluttery feeling coming on. I just wonder, will I always have to rely on a substance to get me through undesired circumstances?? If so, what a bummer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![xx(]

Jade - he says that my teeth are fine and no need to see me for 9 months now - good result cos I hate going and it costs £15 each time.
Is it broken or bruised badly Jade?

boo hoo!!!
Scooter Girl AKA Jade
Well done to all who have succeeded. I am a total wimp when it comes to dental appointments. I am dreading a toothache!
I cancelled my appointment when I went through a bad phase last year and still have to re-book.
I'm not in a fit state just now, but really must make this a priority when I have a few good days.
Anyway prepared to hold my hand?
Ray
how are you managing at school with this break does it mean you get out of writing?

taylor
i get scared about my teeth e.g do i have a hole or am i getting an abses etc
go with your kids, theyll keep u company!
Scooter Girl AKA Jade
hi taylor why not next time you take the kids explain to the dentist how you feel im sure he can do things to make you feel more comfortable ie; first you go and just sit in the chair, then you go he looks in your mouth etc just work up to it slowly im sure you will be fine
(i like going to the dentist...am i weird lol)
fan x
the thing is i dont like my denist he has no symphanty for people like me he just tells u to get on with it.
I would go to another one but there is no other that is close to where i live and with 3 kids its hard to get one thats so far away.
Sorry to hear about your break Scoot
Its so boring just sitting in class when you can't write anything isn't it? I broke my wrist in December and had the same problem and even though I could use the computer for assignments etc at home it took me about twice the time it usually would :D

it isnt easy typing either!
taylor: my old dentist surgery would change dentists every so often, does yours?
Scooter Girl AKA Jade
I also hate going to the dentist, but I always bring a CD player with some uplifting music to play during the treatments. One thing I found out through a discussion with my former dentist was that some of the numbing stuff they use (the injections) has a chemical in it that can cause more anxiety with heart palpitations, etc.. I now have them use a different kind with none of that in it. I think it;s epinephrine that causes those symptoms. It's worth asking about.
