oh and your not crazy ;]

na ur krazy

You have a phobia of the dentist, phobia's are normal, just keep going to a place where they sedate you and you should be fine. You may want to talk to a psychiatrist about this. Make sure you are flossing everyday!

YOUR NOT CRAZY

your not crazy, I dont like it either, it hurts, I hate it, but I've only had to be put to sleep one time when they pulled my wisdom teeth, other than that I'm awake, but I dont care for it. that's for sure.

nope its normal. phobias arnt bad things. you just need to find out how to cope with it and over come in.

i don't know if your crazy..I do know most things are not as terrible as we think they are going to be(I don;t like dentists either)

you are not crazy, but you do have a phobia. were you ever accidentally stabbed, poked, or injured by a sharp object? ever get food or something stuck in your mouth or teeth at a young age and think you were going to die from it? see something at a young age on TV or from a movie that scared you? There was recently a pro basketball player that got bumped on the head and was bleeding. his doc walked him off the court to the lockers and when the doc pulled out his needle and stitches the player ran from the room screaming hysterically and ran away. He was a 6'6'' pro ball player who reacted that way. A regular counselor, maybe a hypnotist, or simply forcing yourself to face your fears will get you past this. Remember that you will not die in facing this fear although you may feel it may kill you. each time you face it it will get easier and easier. Start by maybe going in during the docs down time and just let him show you the instruments or let you touch them (sounds funny) but it will at least let you initially work through you fear. during those visits you won't even have to have him do your teeth, just get comfortable with the tools.
and remember you are not crazy, but when you work your way through this fear and come out brave and ok with this, you may end up calling yourself crazy.
