Afraid of the Dentist?

Not any more. I take my teeth out to clean them and leave them in water overnight. But I was as a much younger man.

I was at one time but not anymore.

You just say dentist and i feel faint! I hate going to the dentist with a passion. For whatever, even just for a checkup, i can't stand it. My teeth are very sensitive and my gums too, and i've had a lot of work done (lots of fillings, pulling out teeth, and most recently a root canal)and everytime i get nauseous and so nervous. I just walk in the dentist's office and i wanna turn around and leave! And yes, it is very expensive here: a filling is from 80 to 150$, to pull out a tooth could go up to 250$ and a root canal could go up to 1000$.

I DO NOT like going to a dentist! Never have, never will. Unfortunately, that's why my teeth are not in very good shape...I would get shots twice a day before I go to a dentist...and I only go in emergency cases..besides, they make more than a doctor does! For example, my son has to have his wisdom teeth out...almost $1800.00 just for 4 teeth out!

I hate dentists!!! I thought I had got over my fearo fthem until recently. I have had a couple of terrible experiences in the past month and they charge astronomical amounts to inflict pain. I'm with you on the anti dentist band wagon.

I have not been to any dentist in mylife.

It's not so much that I'm afraid,I just really don't like going to one.Everytime I've went I've always had to have major work done.Long tiring painful expensive work.For that reason I always put off going unless I just really have to.Terrible I know.I just really hate going.

I'm not afraid of the dentist, although I haven't seen one forever. Dentist is expensive, but if you have an insurance it isn't that bad.

no I have never been afraid of the dentist,I have enjoyed it.
