Answers:
its a common problem!.Try not to get too worked up about going because you'll make yourself worse!. You could try seeing a therapist before you visit a dentist to come to terms with your phobia!. If you are really scared there are dentist that specialise in treating phobic patients, you could do some research and find one!. Some dentist are trained in techniques to relax patients and you could try hypnosis!.

They are well trained professional people who know what they are doing, contary to what some may say!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

So do I - and it sucks! I am 33 and got a good report at the dentist just last week, and I felt like a 5 year old I was so excited!. I think you have to find a dentist that you really like and really feel comfortable with before it gets any easier!. Hang in there and be glad that you only have to go twice a year (barring any emergencies)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Perfectly natural!. Considering my dentist had a clock with a needle and a scraper for hands!.!.!.

I have a fear of hospitals/doctors/dentists from being poked and prodded so much when I was a kid!. Thing is when you need to go, you need to go!. Fancy pulling that rotten tooth out at home!? No didn't think so!.

That's how I see it even though I'm scared I still need to go!.
