I stumbled upon this site by accident, but I am so very glad I did. I haven't been to the dentist for nearly ten years now for what started as a lot of the common fears I read about in the sections on the site. Fear of being lectured, the cost, and due to a painful extraction I had the last time I went.
As time's gone on my teeth have gotten worse, I've lost fillings, my wisdom teeth that were once floating are now broken, and I'm sure I have more than a few cavities. I've had several times when I've been in intense pain due to this, but I still couldn't bring myself to even contact a dentist.
This website is a godsend. Reading through the sections and reading through posts on these forums I am so very relieved to realize that this is more common than I ever thought. As my teeth got worse and worse I just kept losing more and more confidence in my smile and in my ability to even face a dentist. What would he say when I opened my mouth for him? Even if he didn't say anything, would I be able to just tell that he was disgusted?
I've been looking around on this site for over an hour now and I've teared up more than a few times reading posts and the help sections as I completely understand and empathize with the fears and concerns others have posted. I am so happy I've found this site and so thankful for those who set it up and run it and all those who frequent these forums and offer support and encouragement.
