I have been reading this forum for about two weeks. I was feeling so
alone and I am so thankful that I found this. I have a dentist appointment scheduled in a couple days. I am so embarrassed and scared as I have not taken good care of my teeth due to my phobia. I believe, and I feel as most do, I just don't want to be belittled or made feel worse for not taken care of my teeth. I feel bad that I could not have come to this realization earlier as I am serious need of care. I am praying that the dentist and his office is understanding as I feel it will be very hard to start for square on again.
Well the count down has begun I am hoping for the best
 
Congratulations for making the appointment, that is a big step! Hope your dentist is good and understanding - as there are good dentists out there!
 
Thank you so much. I really hope I get a empathetic dentist. That is mostly why I have avoided going. Well I have less than 24 hours. Thank you for you support. This is very hard
