Hi, I too share your fears over a visit to the dentist, and my Mum is a dental nurse, she did a good job on her kids, we have all the teeth that much better than our parents at the same age, sh1t, I grew 2 extra ones that I don't need, this is my problem, too many teeth in my head, and wow, do they hurt. I got one out so far, what a refief, it was like a crowbar in my head, you where the whole world goes away and you are left with only pain. It looks like I might be getting a third extra tooth now.?? 44 years old and still cutting teeth? If your dentist looks after you in the fear department, you will probably find yourself going back because you will trust them them not to hurt you in a sensitive place, your mouth. If the have a heart, they will give you time to pay. I usually save up my money before I go to the same dentist that I first saw when I was 12, I trust Mr Ho more than any other. I still find it hard to beleive he pulled one of those teeth out and I still thought it was in there and he said "finished"?? Too cool.

I certainly do understand the doubly whammy effect... I have much the same, fear of the process AND fear of the bill. I got past most of my dental anxiety issues (with the first part) by eventually finding a dentist who specialized in working with patients with dental anxiety AND used "conscious deep sedation" during everything from cleanings to major work. For me, that worked great because I was for all practical purposes knocked out during procedures, so no anxiety. Well... at least not DURING.
