Hi.
Recently I've visited my dentist once every 1-2 weeks for the last 7 weeks or so. I'm in the process of getting a lot of major work done. My dentist is very patient, takes things at my pace and he's very gentle.
My biggest fear at dentist is the drill. It used to also be the dentist not stopping when I need them to, but I trust my new dentist now, Dr. C. and he knows of my issue with this. I have had to use a stop signal with him a couple of times and he does stop right away when I need him to.
No one goes with me to the dentist. I take my stuffed teddy bear and a stress ball with me, but no family or friends. I'd be to embarrassed to take someone.
