Way to go, frostgirl! I’ve followed your journey for quick some time. Look at us becoming normal dentist goers.It's amazing what time and a very kind & understanding dental team can do. I had my six monthly check up on Thursday just gone, and I actually felt mostly calm. Which is a shock. I did have a moment before I left the house before I set off where I was panicking, but it passed. I saw the dentist I saw the last time I was there, and they were so lovely again. No problems once again
I honestly don't think I would have gotten to this point without the understanding people on here and at my dentist. So I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who put up with my ramblings over the years, it really does mean a lot to me
I read all of the info here too, and it made me feel less anxious/nervous. I ended up not needing a filling after all. The dentist said we'd do the cleaning and go from there back then. As for your comment about cleanings and the sound I didn't care/mind it. For me it was...relaxing? Dental stuff has improved so much over the years and decades, and I trust they'd not hurt you or anyone else on purpose. I need to actively go again to a dentist, speaking of...I've read the helpful info page on this site about what happens when you get a filling and I've googled what happens (bad idea I know ) I still feel quite anxious/nervous.
Might be a waterpik? I wanna save and get a good one for home. I'd rather not go cheap on that expense!I don't mind the noises of a cleaning when they use the one that sprays out water (can't remember the name of it ), it's just the noise of the thing they use to do it by hand I'm not a fan of. Thankfully when I was there the other day they didn't use that one too much
