So last time i was here it was the end of last year and i was nervous about going to the dentist but knew it was for the best and that i had to do it even though i had put it off for a while.

Well i can come back and say it was a partial success, been 4 times so far which includes the initial inspection / check up of my teeth as well as 2 lots of fillings and one extraction of 3 teeth although i have more fillings and i believe another extraction :o.

The reason i say it was a partial success is because so far i haven't finished my appointments and i still get nervous. The dentist i am now seeing seems to be a lot better than the last one i was treated by because i can get through a simple filling without too much bother whereas i couldn't before.

I am hoping i can get rid of my nerves a bit more although i doubt they will go away completely but if i they calm down a bit then i should be fine.
 
Well done Swrmx,I hope your next visits go as well.
