They've got you all lined up with specialist and drugs and people to hold your hand. It sounds like you've got good people. <br /><br />I was(am still?)a dental assistant/surgical assistant and have seen more people with your same exact fears so I know they are real and horrible. The drugs and the gas will keep them from being too memorable as well but the $$ part will suck any way you slice it. Boo<br /><br />I wish I could come and be a soothing voice and help with your next appointments. You can do it!!! :)<br />p.s. I'm the SAME way when it comes to the Gyno just so you know. I probably have cancer every which way possible because I can't make myself go in there due to a scarring experience I had there.Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018721209690768151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883281516588008936.post-61935718221099978142010-01-26T17:20:25.817-05:002010-01-26T17:20:25.817-05:00Hahaha!

I HATE going to the dentist (long story), but I finally found one who is understanding enough to realize this and compensate for it.Evil Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15862347415955885344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883281516588008936.post-88295419421608462822010-01-25T21:01:42.136-05:002010-01-25T21:01:42.136-05:00Curley- thank you... and I have no idea.

I went through something similar a few years ...OMG! I went through something similar a few years ago. I broke a tooth (and didn't know it). So life went on, but suddenly I had this pounding tooth ache. A couple days went by, and I couldn't even close my mouth. We went to the hospital (because it was the weekend and no dentists were open), and the first doctor that saw me said it was a "toothache" and gave me a pain killer (which didn't help at all because I was already taking Vicodin). A second doctor came by (not knowing I had already been looked at) and said I actually had blood poisoning. They put me on something like 4000 mg of penicillin per day. The next day I went to the only dentist who would see me - who also happened to be a kids' dentist. Imagine my surprise when I walked into the land of Hobbits. Everything was literally child-size (and I'm 6-foot!). Not even the gas mask fit over my face! To top it off, he didn't want to remove the tooth because it was too infected and he couldn't numb me. He doubled the penicillin and gave two more painkillers. The roof of my mouth was swollen, and there was this huge sore. Bacteria had gotten in through the broken tooth, into the root, and the infection had spread. Two days later, he removed the tooth and I felt nothing except a slight bit of pressure. A fantastic dentist but a crappy way to meet him.Evil Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15862347415955885344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883281516588008936.post-62930755337801868092010-01-25T18:37:11.631-05:002010-01-25T18:37:11.631-05:00What ironic timing.

I had to go to the dentist today, and I thought about you. :) I don't hate it like you do, but it's time I could have spent line dancing.Braggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252719085678735035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883281516588008936.post-17057998953663243162010-01-25T08:21:00.431-05:002010-01-25T08:21:00.431-05:00Ok, first you do too deserve good thoughts. Second...Ok, first you do too deserve good thoughts. Second, you could have been going to the dentist twice a year every year since you were a year old and still have the problems with the teeth. Well except for the infection cause they would have found the problem before the infection. And wisdom teeth usually have to be taken out at some time anyway. So why do we have them and why do they call them wisdom teeth?Curleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14670892568607136493noreply@blogger.com
