I'm willing to admit defeat in my fear of the dentist. As I went in yesterday to have a wisdom tooth extracted AND a filling done, I was more anxious than I've been in awhile. I'll admit, the idea of the needle in my mouth put my heart rate at a pounding pace and I couldn't stop crying for a couple of minutes. I've gotten over a fear of having blood drawn, finger pricks for blood sugar and IVs but the needle going near my very sensitive teeth was overwhelming.
However, my dentist was a saint. His level of patience was amazing. He talked me through everything and the entire process was not that bad at all. I confess that all of my fear amounted to nothing. Both processes went very easy. Most honestly, I am recovering from this at a much easier rate than I suspected. I have very minimal pain and I'm so amazingly grateful. No swelling, either!
So to the dentist at Comfort Dental in Belmar (Lakewood, CO), I give HUGE props for your patience with me. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who would listen. Dr Flood is a saint and I'm so grateful to him!
If you're concerned with getting dental work done, please give a great dentist a chance. It might not be nearly as bad as you think!
