Help!! Im very very very scared of the dentist!!?!


Question: Help!! Im very very very scared of the dentist!!?
I havent been to the dentist for about 4 years because last time I went (I was 10) the dentist pulled my tooth out with out numbing it, I think that made me very scared of the dentist, but now, one of my fillings has fallen out (I dont know how or when) but now I have a hole in my tooth and It hurts when I eat, so im going to the dentist next week (the same one I went to last time) and Im quite scared, what can I do to not be scared??

Ask for enough laughing gas to kill a small elephant. That'll numb the pain (physically AND mentally).



I don't particularly like going to the dentist either, but now I have braces I have to go every 6 weeks. It helps to think of the positive, in my case having straight teeth at the end of it or in your case your teeth not hurting when you eat. Talk to the dentist about how nervous you are and they'll reassure you everything will be alright. If there just putting a filling in, then that won't hurt. They usually scrape any of the old filling out, then put the new one in as a liquid, use a big hairdryer type thing to dry it and your done. You'll be fine! Think of the positives :)



for this you just think that you are going to meet a good person. everything he does is the benefits to you .dont think you are going to your dentist but to a health improver.



Well, i'm more scared then you are!!, i haven't been to the dentist since i was 9 (i'm 20 now), im going next week too :'(
