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?

I have a few. I hate driving over bridges (but I can ride over them, no problem), heights, & driving on interstates.

I also have am innate fear of dentist's due I think to a childhood misadventure and the extraction of what turned out to be a very healthy tooth

I gain some solace when I vomit all over his hand after being ignored when I ask for a pause and to rinse my mouth: laugh:

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...sad flower

Must be difficult when you need to take a long road trip (referring to the part about driving on interstates). You'd hate driving here, that's for sure! comfort

Yes, I hate it! Because I have many friends who live quite a distance & would love to visit them. But since I took the train to cat's place, I figure I can do that again. And it was very relaxing. thumbs up

Yes....go to the dentist dressed in racy underwear, covered by a long raincoat. The dentist will be so surprised and delighted, he will eagerly agree to make love to you while taking care of your tooth. Not only will your mind be taken off what's going on in your mouth, but the anxiety of the next 24 hours will be alleviated by a titillating sense of anticipation. I hope your dentist is good-looking. angel
