Dentist--ARRRgghh

[dragonlaurel]

Good luck with the Dentist. Hope you're smiling again tomorrow night.
My DH has a dentist appt. in the morning too. This has caused him pain for so long he wants to go. He needs major work but I don't know if tommorow is to assess everything or if they will get started.

I've been a big chicken about it since high school.

I loved reading the responses....give me drugs! LOL

and we all don't like going...LOL


oh well, no one likes the poor dentist truly but he is a necessary evil


I will report back after 9:30 crunch time! Ugh

:bun




I GOT AWAY SO EASY!!!

cracked tooth is just a small chunk of silver filling that broke loose....so easy fix. not today though, he didn't have time. So I just have to go back next week for a simple filling change to correct that small chunk...about 20 mins. to fill he said....Yippee

And took full set of x-rays and teeth are perfect...Yeah---no other work other than fixing this filling break in 2 weeks.

go for cleaning next week---THOSE I am not scared of at all....LOL


and NO, they don't do gas (nitrous oxide or whatever it is)---they give ya pills.....WA HOO....I got a prescip for Diazapam and she said a pill makes you not care about anything! She said so many of their patients take the pill 1 hr. before the appt and they breeze thru the appt without fears...


So I have to say all was not bad....but my heart was in my mouth when I first went in but as the appt progressed and all seems to be cool---I got so happy...LOL


pills are my friend, pills are my friend...LOL....will get prescrip filled and right now I sure am not worried about the filling appt. in a few weeks.



WOOF!

and see, all scared for no reason...HA HA
I am such a big baby chicken..

Gld to see it went well....I am irrationally afraid of the dentist too!

 

[FarmerChick]

that was a good word to explain it Dace

irrational

I never had a bad dentist visit and never truly worried about them....til lately......so it is irrational. I couldn't think of the word to try to explain the anxiety to Tony......irrational..yup that was me! LOL

 

[PamsPride]

I am glad your appointment went well!

I love going to the denist and getting my teeth clean...maybe because I obsessively floss and brush at home! LOL! Most of my kids like to go too! The denist is a great friend of ours....goes to our church, gives us deer meat, corn, and apples every year.


My mom on the other hand went the day before yesterday and got a terrible report! Her teeth have been bothering her for a while so she finally went and they said that her teeth are spaced in such a way that bacteria has gotten down between them and has now rotted out her jaw bone and her teeth are slowly going to start falling out and they are already very loose...thus causing her so much pain. Because it is the bone that is disappearing she will not even be able to get false teeth. Her goal now is to try and keep her teeth for as long as she can. They told her it was hereditary!

Well, they need to create a pill that gives you the *you know* to call the dentist and make the appointment....

Yep, that's how scared of the dentist I am.....I'm too chicken to call a dentist.....and I really need to go!! My teeth need LOTS of work!

Yea, so give me something to knock that fear out, then we'll work on something to conquer the getting me to the appointment, then we'll work on getting me IN the chair....

 

[noobiechickenlady]

I'm with QA...

 

[FarmerChick]

WOW PamP
no one wants a report like that....I hope she can do alot to slow down that problem...ugh

WE HAVE A WINNER! Someone more scared than me...LOL

Don't be scared to make the appt...because YOU can always CANCEL.....haha

BUT yea you gotta drive there and get in the chair...and that is the hardest part. I am kinda OK til I hit their front door, then the true scared just nailed me...and to walk in and "smell the smell"---ARRGH...UGH


But one thing Quail.....do all you can to go because you gotta have good teeth and hang onto them. Prevention is key. one small filling or a good cleaning etc. can save you tons of troubles and LONG times in that chair unless you take care of them now......well you know..LOL

that is what makes me go..it kills me but I go, even kicking and screaming....HAHA'
