Dentist--ARRRgghh

[FarmerChick]

I gotta go today at 11:30

I am freaking out. I never minded going, but the last few years I can barely drag myself there...irrational anxiety. Weird cause they never scared me all these years, but lately I can't stand going.......I cracked a tooth or cracked some filling in a big tooth in back....now I have to go
AND
I
DON"T
WANT
TO
GO

someone SAVE me...LOL

UGH


this day is crap..LOL

FC use my logic.

Its just an adventure.

Gee, I have not seen Dr. XX in forever, can't wait to find out how things are.

This will not hurt.

Think how good I will feel when its all over. I won't have that bothersome broken tooth when I return.

Sure am glad I have (Pick one) (a) Dental Insurance (b) The money to pay for this

And last but by no means least - What a wonderful gift I am giving myself. Healthy Teeth.

I hate going to any Dr.

thanks 2dream

it does help to think about it in logical terms like that.



I wonder why I never was worried and now I am? Boy we sure have stages in life don't we.....I remember breezing thru bridgework and root canal and all that and today for some reason I got the heart flutter/scared thing happening.

I know I will survive...:bun

I honestly don't have a clue how Tony suffered thru that heart cath. I think they would have to sedate me days in advance..LOL

I take 2 valium and a Percocet. Then I have him give me Nitrous. I have anxiety attacks from them filling my mouth up. Ever since I got asthma at age 30. When they put that rubber thing in my mouth I feel like I can't breathe.

Ask the doctor for nitrous. A lot of people do it.

Hey FC - How did it go?

I should ask about that...thanks for reminding me because I had that when I was younger and had a root canal. I liked the floaty feeling.....and yes I hear you loud and clear, the gag, too much in the mouth with hard times to swallow etc. drives me nuts.

thanks BD

Rachel could not pick Nicole up at 1:00 and I didn't know if I would be out in time from an 11:30 appt so I had no choice but to get her instead.

Not being able to swallow really gets me. I do love the smell of burning teeth though.

I love my dentist. Wife and I started seeing him about 3 years ago. On my very first visit, I explained to him that I had bitten my very first dentist when I was 6 years old, and if he hurts me in ANY way shape or form, he would be another notch in my toothbrush.

Whenever I have to have ANY kind of dental work that is beyond a cleaning, he gives me Halcyon. I take it about an hour before my appointment. It requires that I have a driver, and I have to take the rest of the day off, but by gosh I sure don't remember ANYTHING that happens while I am in the chair.

SHOW ME THE DRUGS!!

I read this to my sister. We BOTH feel EXACTLY as you do. We did have a laugh, but we REALLY FEEL your pain!

Here is looking at you kid.
