-
Yes!!!! Auuugggh!!!!!! Traumatizing sound of the drill and the smell of burnt teeth.Uuugh.*+++++*
-
I'll take you. :)
-
Not terrified of the dentist, but terrified of the bill.
-
Nope. All the pulling, drilling and digging are over.
-
Not me. I'm going this morning and looking forward to that relaxing chair!
-
No, not terrified.
-
me! ;)

I'm more terrified of losing my teeth, which is what could happen if you don't go to the dentist. I grew up with parents who both had false teeth and I saw their "falsies" in glasses of water at night...I vowed that would never happen to me and at 71-1/2 I have all my own teeth because I go to the dentist a lot! Happy Monday! :)
-
me!! i hate going to the dentist and im going on friday!!!
-
No. For me it is more like procrastination until a tooth starts bothering me. +5
-
Not terrified, but it's way down on my list of things I want to do.
-
OMG Yes! I had some bad experiences when I was a kid at the dentist and they have stuck with me. I'm fine when I get there but the thought of going terrifies me :)
-
Yes! When I was four years old, all I ate was skittles, so I had a ton of cavities, and my earliest memories of the dentist is them shoving a dental dam down my throat and almost choking to death. I haven't had a cavity since, but the dentist still scares the, pardon my french, the ever living fuck out of me.
-
yes. Absolutelly.
-
Not terrified, just mistrustful. last time I was there, the stupid sonofabitch worked long and hard to break out a perfectly good tooth when all he was SUPPOSED to do was clean it!
-
Nope! You can't imagine how "brave" I became after I had 'em all pulled and had posts put in to lock in the new "teeth". They work very well...and they're soooooo pretty, too! :-) Back when I had the real chops, I did force myself to go to the dentist every six months...but I sure disliked doing so! +5
-
Yes, :S. Had to go last week. £50 it cost me for a teeny tiny bit of filing that came out. grr.
-
funny you ask being i'm due this friday..not at all and if does hurt i never eat any more cake again...
-
im going tomorrow. and actually i LOVE the dentist. people think im crazy, but i love the way my teeth feel afterward. and i just feel better about myself. plus ive been going to the same dentist since i was 4, and she is a sweetheart!
-
Not at all..but, can't say I like to go either..
-
No, the women who work on my teeth at my dentist are very pretty!
-
No not at all, I have never had a cavity.
-
Within the last few months.......I had 2 root canals.....a few fillings and a bridge put in.....I was terrified at the beginning but relieved because it wasn't as bad as I thought. The worst part was making molds of my teeth for whitening. The goopy stuff made me choke........If you're terrified, tell the dentist and he will put you on Nitrous Oxide which was a huge help for me.

I used to be, but the dentist I go to now uses all the newest techniques and tools, and it no longer hurts, smells, or sounds like it used to. He gives me ear phones to deaden the sound, and uses a new kind of numbing gel, so I don't feel the shots. I'm going in for a crown and cavity tomorrow, and I'm not even worried.
-
No but I hate the dentists. I've had some negative experiences with them before, like giving me three crowns when I only needed one at the most. One of my crowns fell out after a month. Now I may need a root canal that I would have never needed had I not gotten any crowns. On top of that, I requested nitrous oxide the visit before I got the crowns. They said no problem, then when I went in to get the crowns, they told me no.
-
Now I am not. But in my childhood, I was really terrified of meeting a dentist.
-
it is the fear i cannot face, hence i look after them
-
There are many people who are scared of the dentist. This fear can be overcome. Ask friends and family if they have a friendly and caring dentist. http://thornhilldentist.blogspot.com
