The Dentist

Should i be embarrased about being frightened by the thought of going to the dentist?

I mean i can break my foot 4 miles into a 10 mile ride (push bike) and deal with the discomfort but the dentist...phwoa!

I have an 'Emergency Dentist Appointment' at like 1.30pm today, ive been shaking since i made the decision to go last night at 9.00pm and had no sleep since...

Someone tell me its gunna be OK...

Im considering eating Paracetamol like sweets until it kills me otherwise

Chunk of my rear top left chomper decided to give... that bit of tooth is missed dearly, brings tears to my eyes.... regularly :rolleyes:

The last time i went, i made a mental note; Its not as bas as you think, that note was discarded many moons ago...

Thx about the fatalities thing tho iCraig, cant wait til 1.30pm now!

On top of the fear (by the way im feeling a little better for reading SOME of your posts) it costs a fortune!

I havent got to pay for this one as its an emergency appointment at the hospital, but i know theyll make me register with a dentist now. Ill have to get a part time job just for my dentist bills because i know they'll be like "Ah, what have we here, Oooo, Ahhh..." and that sucking in noise they do before telling you they are about to beat up your bank account.

Dont mean to drag an old thread back up, but, ive had one of my upper right molars removed! and it was fine!

Bit of pulling n stuff but my faith in the dentist has been restored!

Let this be a lesson to anyone else who has any dental issues! GET IT SORTED!!!

Cheers Guys

Mine was more of an accident than not brushing or flossing...

I can see where some of you guys are coming from tho, i used to start shaking in the waiting room and not stop half hour after the ordeal.

Im shocked at how straightforward the whole process was! it does help to have good hygene and gums... the dentist said some times the tooth cracks and they have to pull all the bits out n stuff! :eek:

Luckily for me it came out in one piece

Dentists are good guys, granted there are butchers around, but if your not happy in your current dentist, shop around...
