Just wanted to drop by with a quickie update. I had my tooth extracted on Tuesday. I tried to be brave and do it with just the local anesthetic, but after they shot me up I was shaking really really bad so I went ahead and had them put me under completely. No regrets there. Recovery hasn't been too bad, pain is manageable with ibuprofin and a little vicodin. I'll definitely have to do better to acknowledge my dental anxiety in the future and mitigate it better, maybe through psychiatric drugs or something. Thanks to all for the support!

I am glad you made it through & are on the mend. Hopefully you can have a plan in place in the event this scenario makes a reappearance. I white knuckle my way through dental appointments & surgery, even though I am a nurse:) My fears are unreasonable because I worry about only rare & fatal complications): Please keep in touch. Good luck! (((hugs))) jan

So glad to hear everything went well. There's certainly no shame in needing to be put under. I'm like that too. And I know quite a few people like that and they don't have anxiety problems. Glad you are doing well! :)
