I have a slightly strange fear, I wonder if anyone else has it. I am 29, I have not been to dentist in may 8-10 years. When I was a kid I went regularly, the only treatment I ever had was some sealants and braces which I needed two extractions for. I have never had a filling and I am scared of needing one. Not so much the actual physical process of having it done, although that makes me worried as I dont know what it involves. I think fillings are really unsightly and to me needing one would be failure. When I was a kid the trip to the dentist was a success if did not need fillings. I have dealt with this by avoiding going but I dont think in the long run this is useful. Has anyone else had a similar fear and how have they dealt with it?
