Hi I found this site by doing a google search about dentists,and by chance its just what i needed- I mean i found dental phobia links and the -WhatFare- site. I came to my PC today with the intentions of reading everything I could about dental fare and dental work to help me get over my anixity about going to the dentiest, because in 48 hours i will have my first dental visit in many years, and i am scared crapless!!!
Long story short....
let me say hi first...HI my name is Howard and i am 50 years young, I am from the USA and Bron and rasied in brooklyn and live in Flushing Queens. I found the WhatFare site and it provided what I needed, so it dosen't matter that you are my friends across the pond, its all the same, right mate! OK the story:
I had a very bad dental experiance as a child and from then on its been avoid at all costs! however my sister married a dentist 25 years ago, and he was excellent, and free to!!! I still hated to go, but I let him do maintance work as needed, I had a lot of fillings and some root canal and bonding. But over the last 10 years for whatever reasons i stopped going, and my teeth have broken falling out and deterotied ! Now I have a throbing tooth ach and my brother in law is put of pratice due to injury, and since I only trusted him I put off going to anyone, but the pain won, and today I made visit to a DDS within a short walk from my home, he seems very compent and nice. he took me as an emergery because I did not even have an appoment I just walked in told them I have pain. I explained my history and fare. he gave me something for the pain and we made an appointment for monday morning( this is Saturday) I have teeth broken at the gum line plus teeth with huge fillings that are breaking, and god knows what, O i have about 7 missing theeth! He said monday he will do the exam take the xrays and proceed from their, he said maybe a rootcanal and he sees a small hole that might be causing the pain....either way he said he would find out what is the cause of my pain, and we go from their ( i hope) I know he is a good dentist and highly capable, so thats not the concern , the concern is ME I am scared .....I fare not being able to let him do the work! Its nerves, I know the needle don't hurt ( I had it with my brother in law many times ) its just I get nervous as all hell, even with my brother in law , but he gave me kid glove treatment,, he was slow caring and good, I am afried that a non family DDS will just return me to my old self and I will not be able to handle it>>>PLEASE HELP!
