Hi everyone!
I just wanted to share my success story. After 4 years of suffering with a server phobia of the dentist, I finally went a few weeks ago knowing I needed a lot of work doing and I did not want my baby boy growing up scared like me. I was told that I needed 3 teeth out and quite a few fillings. Naturally i was devastated but it had to be done. I just had to put my fear to one side! Fast forward to today, the day of the produce. I was so scared, very nearly walked out of the surgery but I went in, the dentist knew I was scared but he was fantastic. Firm because he had a job to do but good nonetheless. I didn't cause a scene (unlike the first visit when I cried) I just sat down, opened my mouth and let him do his job. 20 minutes later after the numbing, deep clean and 3 teeth (decayed down to the gum line) I was out and I hand on heart I experienced no pain! The dentist asked throughout if I was okay and of course I was. Best thing I've done and I'm so proud of myself. I think I've overcome my fear and I'm not frightened to go back for more work!
Sorry for the long thread but just wanted to share some positivity. Be as brave as you possible can be and it WILL be okay and it never even half as bad as you expect it!
