No I am not scared of the dentist but I do not go anymore due to my dentist is a complete screw up. Screwed up my root canal, crowns, and everything in between.
I have always hated looking up and seeing A Image like the pic below...the last dental work I had done was I had my Wisdom Teeth Taken out I was completely knocked out and my Mouth was numb for like 20 hours afterward...And also I got some Vicodin just for something to use for pain relief if it hurt
Yeah, I scare a little bit As I know, one in four people in the UK feel anxious about going to the dentist, according to a survey by the British Dental Association. The reasons they give vary from bad experiences in the chair as a child to the sound of the drill and the thought of an injection.
I don't get people. I know people who rather live with pain than seeing the dentist. Same with doctors.
I just had a really abd experience with a new dentist I tried out. I am NOW scared of the dentist. I went in to get a filling cause one fell out. I was in pain but just wanted to get it done. My tooth hurts now everytime I bit and I cant drink anything cold. He says he didnt hit the root when he was drilling but I think he did.
I got spanked by my dentist when I was like 5 or 6? b/c I would not open my mouth (wide enough or at all). yeah, I'm pretty sure you could not do that today! THE TRAUMA!!! there are procedures that are much more painful than what a dentist can dish out though...how about the gum doctor, the periodontist...sure the actual procedure did not hurt but the recovery....OH! the recovery from a gum graft is 74 times worse than any cavity or crown or (never had a root canal so I can't speak for that).
God have mercy on the souls of those who need to have a root canal cleaning procedure done while conscious!
