Dreading the dentist.....
I have an appointment at 4:00 today and I'm wishing I was dead or in jail right now. I haven't been in about 7 years.
It's time. Adoption saving and process started in November 2012.

Re: Dreading the dentist.....
I didn't go from the time I was 12 to 23 and it was fine. You'll be ok.
I go twice a year like clockwork but I've always loved the dentist. I'm weird, though.
I am going tomorrow morning!
I think they are just going to yell at me. Dentists are so judgmental.
I have honest-to-God dental phobia. They use laughing gas (I pay extra for it) to clean my teeth/touch them. I also use a sedation dentist here.

I love you Missy. Even though you are not smart enough to take online quizzes to find out really important information. ~cew

Ugh, tell me about it. My dentist lectured me on drinking Coke. I had to sit there for 10 minutes while he outlined everything bad Coke did to my teeth. He ended it with, "So, no more Coke for you." being me, I had to ask, "Okay, so what about Mr. Pibb?"

I really like going to the dentist. I'm obsessive about my teeth (see "braces at 25" and "orthognathic mandibular advancement surgery") and (cue pity party, table of 1) my parents never took me to the dentist.

I hate that dentists do that.
I mean I love going to the dentist but that would bug the crap out of me if I got that lecture. Like hello, everyone KNOWS Coke is bad for their teeth. But it doesn't mean people won't drink coke. People know cheeseburgers aren't good for their arteries but it's not like we're going to stop eating damn cheeseburgers.
And for shiit's sake it's not like you drink Coke and let it sit there in your mouth while you feel your teeth dissolving away.
Did you know that sports drinks like Powerade and Gatorade are just as bad for your teeth as Coke? True story.
DH and I had our appointments together, and like I said, I hadn't gone in about 6 years and it had been about 3 for him. My dentist comes in and says, "Wow, your teeth are great. They look so much better than your husband's!" Yeah, I started laughing but I felt horrible at the same time because DH needed some major cleaning done.
This. All the assistants at my orthodontist are like this. Almost all of them got braces put on for a second time when they started working there. Occupational hazard.

What are you talking about? I totally do this, it's the only way to truly experience the Coke flavor.
Seriously though, he told me that I need to stick to water only. But water is boring, so he suggested the Crystal Light packets, which make water taste like ass in my opinion. No soda, no sugary drinks, no Gatorade. Apparently I'm supposed to suffer with boring beverages from now on.
Yeah, that lasted all of a week. I am better about water, but I just can't give up my Coke.
LOL but I totally get it. You need your Coke. I don't drink soda but there are plenty of things I'm not willing to give up.
Just breathe, you'll be fine.
my fiancee hasnt been to the dentist in YEARS though and he needs to go so bad. i think he must have at least 10-20 cavitities! i hope he goes and gets his teeth fixed before our wedding
[QUOTE]May I suggest drinking it through a straw? That way it won't touch your teeth :) LOL but I totally get it. You need your Coke. I don't drink soda but there are plenty of things I'm not willing to give up.
Posted by AllAboutTheBenjamin[/QUOTE]
I actually do drink through a straw most of the time. I'm not sure it actually helps, but I've deluded myself into thinking it does.
[QUOTE]i bursh and floss and rinse twice or three times every day! so i dont fear the dentist at all! my fiancee hasnt been to the dentist in YEARS though and he needs to go so bad. i think he must have at least 10-20 cavitities! i hope he goes and gets his teeth fixed before our wedding

And his skin too, right? Because isn't he a pasty ghost? And for some reason I'm remembering there was something else wrong with him, I just can't put my finger on it...

OOOOH I'll play - he's pasty, he's POOR (her ring was kinda small, should she ask for a new one?), and apparently now... he has bad teeth?
I kinda feel bad for this fella. Sounds like he's getting duped into marrying a rather high-maintenance slore bag.
[QUOTE]Barb, I had to call my doctor last year for something for my nerves when I went in for a consultation. He called in basically a superstrong antihistamine. I have honest-to-God dental phobia. They use laughing gas (I pay extra for it) to clean my teeth/touch them. I also use a sedation dentist here.
Posted by missy68[/QUOTE]
How much extra does it usually cost you for the laughing gas/sedation? I too have really bad, like piss-your-pants-bad, dentist phobia. But I need work done...
They know I have severe anxiety and are super nice and slow. Last time the assistant held my hand the entire time and they never once made me feel stupid. My rule is, you lecture me or make me feel dumb, I take my business elsewear.

Don't be so judgemental of his teeth; if you loved him you'd get him a gold grill that says bonnbonn across the front.
