jlb684: Dentists. I have tackled many things in my life and have occasionally done some things that have surprised even myself (finding inner strength and resolve that I didn't know I had within me). But I have never gotten over my fear of the dentist. There is no other unpleasant situation that I avoid as I do going to the dentist. I returned early from a business trip last night because I have a broken tooth and I am in a considerable amount of discomfort. I've made an appointment to see a dentist tomorrow (he can't fit me in today). Now I am already feeling the anxiety. So I have the pain AND I have a bad case of nerves.
Any suggestions as to how to calm my anxiety while I wait this next 24 hours out?
Boban, if you read this...can you spare some of your vodka?
Does anyone else here have a particular fear for something that you have been unable to shake?
Actually I can share this with you, I hate dentists to, why God only knows....Coz after the treatment you realise it was´nt so bad after all....
So i just think of something good to do after the visit, and that usually helps,...
But anything with white coats gives me the creeps...But good luck tomorrow..u´ll see after, it was´nt so bad after all...
