I've lost count of the times I've cried. On the phone & in the surgery.
They generally keep the tissues close at hand for my appointments!
I do also tend to do the frozen rabbit in headlights sat in the waiting room.
All the staff at my surgery are unfazed by my constant booing.
Thank you for posting that. It's nice to know dentists understand. I am having IV sedation for the first time in a couple of weeks and I'm pretty anxious so it could be me who's in tears at that time.Plenty of patients have cried at the first appointment with me. It’s okau. It relieves stress and it’s a form of communication.
