I am one of those people that dread going to the denist. I always wonder what they will find when I go. They usually find a cavity and I hate it. I hate to be drilled on and have a shot put in my mouth. I hate needles so much. They are no fun at all. Everytime I go I always hope for a good result.

I think all of us dread going to the dentist. It all depends on what I am having done though most of the time. Teeth cleaning is alright for me. It doesn't hurt at all.

There are not many people who like to see a doctor. But, it is for our own good that we see a doctor. you may not like to be told that you have certain problems with your health or teeth. But, it is better to know that there is a problem at the earliest so that it would have high probability of getting cured. Escaping from this is going to harm only. It may help to take a wellwisher along so that you get morale support. I am sure a lot of people here at myLot would like you to enjoy good health. So, do not delay anymore-go to a good/ experienced dentist boldly and let him/ her examine you. All the best.
