Anyone else afraid of dentists and just deal with dental problems?

i am not afraid of the dentist because they are not using niddle if i visit.i visit only for checking simple ways.

while I trust the dentist to know what he/she is doing I just wish they could make those drilling machines they use much quieter. The very sound of it has me at my wits end and to top it all you have no idea what it is doing inside your head. maybe sometimes to you need to a bit. Happy mylotting.

I don't have such problems yea because i trust the professionlism in the dental industry in my country yea .

I hate the dentist.I do not like them They want you to allow them to disconnect bones (teeth) that are in your head using small saws,drills and whater ever other Dr. Jekyll/Mr Hyde instuments they use on you. Then they want to stick a needle with pain \/numbing medication so close to your brain. All that comotion near my brain is to much. What if the dentist slipped. That is a chance I am not Willing to Take.

Dentists! I hate them as a general rule! I guess it is a necessity though otherwise when you reach old age you will be able to suck your nose with your lower lip!! The thing I really don't like about dentists is that nasty drill that they use! I heard on the news that they were thinking of coming up with some new technology whereby the infamous drill could be scrapped! Why hasn't that technology come out yet? I think it was some kind of lazer that would eventually replace the drill. No more drilling and no more pain! I've got to say though, you were very brave in carrying out your own treatment in that way! I would never be able to do something like that. Even though I don't like dentists much, I really am grateful that they are there! I would much rather experience half hour our pain that suffer constant pain with a bad tooth. Andrew
