Hmm, No. I am not a afraid of the dentist. It is recommend to go to the dentist every year to have checking and cleaning. If you wait until your tooth is pain then it is too late. I just go to the dentist last month for cleaning and checking. I know it sound scary when you listen to those drilling and cleaning sound but it is the right thing to do if you go.

Not anymore, I have had to get alot of dental work done this past year, and now it seems easier then the first time I went. My son loves our dentist! He likes to go and just watch when I get stuff done, and he sits real good when he gets his cleaned. He takes stuff to show the Dr. and everything. But we do have a good dentist, he has yet to hurt me in anyway and I have had teeth pulled and everything.
