I want to go to the dentist but Im scared!!!!?

I am 17 nearly 18 and the last time I went to the dentist was probably 3 years ago... bad ... i know.

But I am terrified of them telling me I need a tooth pulled out or something. I will only go to hospital and under general and then they can do it.

The most i have ever had is a filling, and thats when I was like 13 or 14... didnt hurt at all, but they didnt need to inject me!

Its where it has been 3 years and im scared that there is going to be loads of problems, so I get scared and leave it, then when i think about going again, it suddenly 3 and a half years... a vicious circle!!!!

What should I do guys?

well, i didnt go to the dentist for like 11years or so and i suffered the worst pain ever imagenable but i wud not go for all the teeth in china.
..thats coz my dentist were butchers and a rip off and just complete planx who did not giv a rats *** bout me, just me purse..when i went i had to take a napkin and spray it with perfume so i cud smell the scent and not the surgery.
i had to have general.

BUT i did my homework and i found a really decent and genuinely nice dentist, it didnt smell, it was full of nice receptionist and i just told them that i was bricking it and they suggested i had a consultation before they even did any work on me if needed, i only needed a fillin, they were great and i was soo suprised at how much they improved and modernised their tools and it was so so so 100 percent fine..so much so that i was disapointed when he said i only needed one thing doin after all them years and to *** back in 6months.. crazeh.

just go and have a consultation, thats all.. i mite only need small tings done, you dont have to have it dun that day. if you dont feel comfortable then ur dentist dude aint doin his job right so go else where. just go for a consulation..a chat..they have improved so much now a days..just go 4 a chat, go on mate. do ooooo it
