Well i made it through the hair appointment yesterday and barely through pitching in the game lastnight. No major issues just minor ones i was able to hold off. This morning was horrible , i went to the dentist. You would think that these people would be aware of others apprehension and anxiety. I was made to feel like a complete idiot and incapable. I am to call them on a better day when i am willing to have multiple teeth pulled so i don't "waste their time". :( ho hum, Even when you let people know ahead of time its hard for them to understand, perhaps i shall carry pamphlets to educate people on anxiety before they open there mouths. Its a shame he wasn't willing to do the minor work that needed done that i was willing to get done today. Thanks for letting me vent i am going to go laydown. Amber

Find another dentist! There are some great, compassionate dentists out there. I know because I found one. Yours sounds like a jerk!

Thanks, i wish it was that easy. My tooth hurts horribly i am using my daughters baby orajel. It is the first time i went to him today, there are only 2 in the area , heck i think the state that use my insurance and the other one was sooooooooooooooooooo bad. Its probably me being a baby, i am the worst dentistphob. I am scared to get the gas even. I think well what if i still feel it and i can't tell them, or what if i have a reaction and they dont' know what to do. GRRRRRRRRRr another day of this pain and i prolly will take it out myself:( I wonder if there are any kiddie dentists that take big tit babies like myself? Guess it can't hurt to try. tootles

OMG Amber,


that was so awful that the dentist said that to you. As if having anxiety isn't bad enough, you don't need that from anyone. I would file a formal complaint.

Amber I had an experience with a doctor who was clueless
about anxiety! I was furious and ashamed! Then I got really
angry I wrote him a letter describing how I feel when I have
panic!! He sent it to his other doc friends he was so sorry
for making ME feel like the dumb one! HAHAHA give it a try!
Take care and do not pull it out yourself LOL Judy
