Going to the dentist today...

Hi all,


I have never been afraid of the dentist.


I am going today at 3pm and dh and I were talking last night about how I haven't been in about 8 yrs. So dh says well if you need fillings or anything just get it done and he told me that we have a deductable but just pay it and get what I need.


So I said yeah ok.. WHAT????? I can't get a needle in my mouth to numb it..NO WAY.. I was fine with it but then I started thinking about it and got scared. Geeze, I don't know what I'm going to do. Well first off I'm going to tell him that I have anxiety so he'll have a heads up. He'll be shocked though, I took Justin last week and Ryan just yesterday and I was calm and collected in full

Hi Heather, good luck with the dentist. I too went yesterday, and it's always the same story. You need this crown, and this tooth is not too good, and your gums...blah,blah,blah.......I am exhausted by the time I get home. It's so stressful LOL. So, how are things with you? I am hanging in there, more good days than bad though I think. It would just be so nice if life would just level out for a year maybe. Is that possible? Hope you are well and also your family. JanW

I'll tell you Heather, I would rather have a baby than go to the DDS, but I do go.

Blessings, Suz   Posts in this Community

How'd you make out, Heather? I try to schedule my appointments first thing in the morning. The researchers say you are able to tolerate more anxiety & stress than later in the day. Keeping you in my thoughts! (((hugs))) jan

Well I worried for nothing...


I got there and I was fidigty and feeling a bit unreal, I had been crying all day.


Well the hygenestist was going over my medical history and I had to put that I was under psychiatric care.. so I started to explane that I had anxiety. (
