Yeah, I'm pretty skeptical that dentists aren't evil, but this rumor's been going around a lot lately, so I'm investigating.
Just the smell of a dentist's office makes me feel so furious and helpless. I hate everything about it. The feel of novocain sliding down my throat, that vile scraper thing, the tastes, the smells the sounds being in the chair...my therapist sent me to this forum as a starting place, to find some people who actually get it. The people I normally can tell anything, I can't talk to about this, the things they say make it worse.
I know I'm supposed to say I'm working towards being comfortable going to the dentist on the regular, but honestly, I just want to be able to think about dentists without turning into a furious tearful mess. I (mostly) don't care if I never see another dentist.
So yeah, that's where I am. If I get anywhere else I'll write an update, send a postcard, etc, etc.
