They have a way of putting the novocaine in your mouth which will numb your mouth and it is only a loud sound and you will not hurt you and it will start to infect and hurt your other teeth and possibly your gums and that is far worse than getting a filling , Susie and more healthful for you!. Try to think of a pleasant place like an ice cream shop and enjoy an ice cream and try not to think about the drill and I believe you will be alright!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I really do think I have a phobia of dentists!. I just forced myself to go a couple months ago after not seeing a dentist for 2 years!. And I have dental insurance! It's all going to waste!. I had a cleaning done and I grip that chair like I'm holding onto dear life!. I have to go back to get some fillings replaced and I don't know when I'll build up enough courage to do that!. I hate the clicking sounds, the drills, etc!. I wish dentists would be more accommodating to those who are afraid of dentists!. I think most people are closer to feeling uncomfortable than comfortable with dentists so it is surprising they don't try to make the environment more appealing and easy for the patients!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I try to go to the dentist's every six months or so!.!.!.!.I have not been since September, though!.!.!.!.and I am going again in June!. I was supposed to go ten days ago!.!.!.!.but I was not well enough!.

I am usually more "afraid" of receiving the bill afterwards than anything that may actually happen in the chair!.!.!.!.!.although the appointment itself is never a "pleasant" experience!. Having said all of that!.!.!.!.I think I have been very lucky over the years when it comes to major dental work!.!.!.!.or lack of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, not as much as I used to be!. I used to be scared to death until I went to dental hygiene school, but I still get extremely nervous at the thought of shots!. The drilling part doesn't bother me too much as long as I am numb!. I also used to be scared to death to have my teeth cleaned b/c it was so horrible!. This is why I went to dental hygiene school!. Hopefully, people are not scared to death when I clean their teeth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not so much afraid of going; I just cannot do it financially, and don't have insurance for it!. I know it can be painful and stuff, but I'm more afraid of losing my teeth or what will happen as a result of not being able to get my fillings and if anything else I need!. Going to the dentist will likely be a walk in the park compared to getting a Caesarian section ( C-section)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go to a dentist that offers nitrous oxide!. You will not feel anxious during your procedure, and it is perfectly harmless, and has no after effects!. I alsways ask for it and it makes going to the denist much more bearable!. Don't wait to get that cavity filled - root cnal is the next step and it is three times the price and requires one to two extra visits!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to be but now I love having my teeth cleaned! Technology has came along way you will be fine!.!.take care of it now before it decays and you loose your tooth! You only get one set and there is nothing like a great smile!
Healthy gums means a healthy body believe it or not it is all tied in!. I went ot get my eye glasses at my eye doctore and he could tell that my back teeth were bothering me!. Health gums mean a healthy person!. Oral hygeine is something of concern, the first thing I look at is someones teeth and smile!.!.don't be a snageltooth :) LOL

PS: Take your IPOD with and listen to music!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not afraid of my dentist!. I agree the sound of the drill can be annoying, perhaps you should discuss it with your dentist, maybe he/she can give you some sleep while drilling you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
