When you go to the dentist should you be petrified ! ! ? ?!


Question: it only natural


Answers: it only natural

yeah because it really hurts especially when they give you a needle ouch!!

If you have the same dentist as me, then you certainly should.

She's a sadist!!!!!!!!!

i went for the first time and couldn't stand it. but after going 5 times it doesn't bother me.i take an mp3 and listen to music.it helps.

No but I have a fear of the dentist & cannot help it.

Why be Scared ???
The last time I was at the dentist's, I fell asleep while having my teeth worked on.

grow up....

My dentist is pretty good, but he does get on my nerves at times.....

no, you should not
i am not scared of my dentist

Ask around and find a dentist that practices in a way that they try to make sure that what they do does not hurt. I have had several dentists that way. I have had extensive dental work done and I can honestly say it has not been that painful thanks to dentists that have compassion. If you find a good dentist then there is no need to fear. ( extensive dental work means I have dentures which required all teeth to pulled)

It depends.
It's all learnt behaviour, so if you are petrified then you will have picked that up from your surroundings, but if not then most likely your parents would have been the same.

If you are getting an operation or filling and have to be anaesthatised then its only natural to be scared, but on the other hand you may not be!

Totally depends on the person/treatment/situation.

I'm terrified of the dentists but once I get in there I'm ok, just think positively!

No, why should I ?
It is my choice to be there.
Gone there for purpose, once finished , I will be back.

Not so much these days,,,things like drill and such are smaller,,,and,,,things dont hurt has much,,,,,

telling people that it hurts does not help y'know!!!!
I had a dental phobia but over the past year I have had fillings, extractions and a bridge fitted. Although it is natural to be scared, I can assure you that whatever you have done will not hurt, you may feel slight discomfort but thats all.

I don't know if you should PP but I always am!!

Only if you haven't been brushing properly - or you have been eating garlic - that drives dentists mad believe you me.

Of the bill yes

and what has this question to do with mental health?,your point being?.

PP I always worry when I go there I'm not terrifeid mate forget it will you stop posting plz
