*shudder*

I gotta go tomorrow, and damned if they dont freak me out. By the time i'm in the chair, my stomach will be in knots, muscles tense, finger clenched onto arm rests, & a light sweat happening!

The only thing going for tomorrow is its just a quote and hopefully he can tell me i have an abcess (i have a large swelling, noticable from both in my mouth and outside) and give me antibiotics. But he wont leave it at that i'm sure *sigh* Xrays, needles, pain, drooling ahhhhhhhhhh

Anyone else have the fear? How do you deal with it??

I have a very simple solution. I just don't go to dentists. Every time I went to one when I was younger they pulled a tooth. Last thing I want is to go as an adult and have them yank a tooth. Though I probably should get my wisdoms taken out. They feel like they're coming in crooked.

I haven't been near one for 25 years. I think when I eventually do, I'll kill them from the shock of seeing my back teeth.

I had a wonderful abscess once that was big enough to stop me swallowing. In desperation, I rang the dental clinic who then told me they wouldn't do anything at all till the swelling went down, so there was no point in going. So I went to the GP who prescribed me antibiotics after I'd promised him that I was definitely, absolutely, positively going to the dentist as soon as I could.

Of course, once the swelling was gone, I threw that promise out the window.

I'm with you OF. I'm only going because the pain has over-ridden the fear. But i dont like it, not one little bit!

I'm hoping he'll give me antibiotics and let me go *LOL* But the underlying problem will need addressing *sigh*. Him knowing my track record of not returning when i should is not good. He may decided to de-tooth me there and then *EEK*

I know he'll want to get at my remaining wisdom teeth, and i know i should let him, but damned if those fuckers dont make ya hurt after coming out, and they aren't giving me any trouble yet *L* Then there'll be the filling and other crap, i'll be watching the dollar signs tick over in his eyes!
