should i e-mail them

[Mikey Boy]

I'm thinking about e-mailing my dentist office and telling about what i am scared of what do you guys think

I would definitely email them. I think your dentist would appreciate the head's up so they don't have to guess at it during treatment. It's very helpful if your dentist already knows what your fearful about ahead of time so they can better accommodate you. Plus, you may get an encouraging response back which is always a great motivator to keep the next appointment rather than cancel it. Communication is the best way to manage fears and anxiety. If my dentist had an email account I totally would have but she didn't so we had to deal with things as they came up in the chair...I say go for it!

I think it will help. I found one that would reply to email, explained my anxieties both in email and again on paper. Helps when you are in that state of being unable to speak to verbalise that it is a stressful situation.

[kitkat]

Good for you! I'm sure both you and your dentist will be glad you did!
