Im a big guy, not scared of much really, but when you bring up going to the dentist, I have issues. I have not been since I was 18 or so and Im gonna be 40 next year. Ive had really bad experiences in previous visits when I was younger, being left in a room with a big needle stuck in my gum attached to a big metal stand for what seemed an eternity, feeling like the locals didnt work to numb the pain, I have a slight tolerance to locals even when getting stitches etc. Ive smoked, chewed snuff and done some other things which make my teeth look nasty and I think a big part of my fear is being judged by my previous habits. Til now, Ive had no real pain but a molar broke off recently and well, it sucks. This is causing my marriage to have issues. Ive got to go but think I need to see a shrink to get to that point. WOW, im in pain and still finding reasons not to go. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.
