Does anyone hate the dentist as much as me?
I've got to be there in an hour! It's only for a check up - but I can't stand it! Dentist surgeries are scary places! Will I see the light of day again???

I also have a pretty bad fear of the Dentist...just the sounds and the whole sitting with my mouth open...Ehhhhgh....
I wish they would knock me out for just the checkups...=)

My fear of dentist started when I was about 10 - I had to go to have a tooth pulled out. It was a small village dentist, and they had to get someone in from the city hospital to administer the anesthetic. My dentist was ill, and some 'supply-dentist' was gonna do the extraction. I didn't want this strange dentist to do the job, and they strapped me into the chair so I couldn't get up!!! They said it was so that I didn't fall out!! Fall out - my ass, you can't fall out of those chairs they have armrests!!!
Wish me luck - gotta go now!! Yikes!!!!!

judgment teeth? hmm thats odd, here in the states they call them wisdom teeth. i think its the same thing, like when the back teeth start growing in?
ive never had that.. but wouldnt mind because then the doctor would give me vicodin!

Oh yeah, I have an intense fear of anything medical. When the dentist work on my teeth, I'm sure they notice my heart beating out of control, I am SO terrified. I'm always afraid they'll find some lethal disease, and have to take out all my teeth, and I'll have to eat baby mush for rest of my toothless, miserable life!!!!

I HAVE SURVIVED!!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!!
Actually I have to go back in three weeks for a replacement filling, and then a week later for a small filling. I won't be so concerned next time, because I know what to expect! I just think the check up is the worst bit - fear of the unknown! I just imagine that the dentist is gonna say terrible things like 'you need all your teeth pulled out'
Anyway, I feel so much more relaxed now! I'll be able to sleep tonight!! :-)

I had my wisdom teeth extracted last summer. It sucked. I did get NO2 which nice, and the actual surgery wasn't bad at all, but afterwards it was nothing but pain and bleeding for two days.

I have a debilitating fear of anything medical... I haven't got a routine check up at the doctor's in a LOOOOONG time... and the dentist scares the shit out of me.
But I had braces for two years (shudder), so I got used to having my mouth and teeth and gums and whatnot fucked around with. Now I don't even worry about it!
You're right about dentists being butchers... they're so VIOLENT in there... I'm amazed they don't jab my gums with that hook thing, they're moving it so quick...

My old dentist once pissed me off by ramming her fingers in and putting loads of crap in there, i just barfed all over her. Such a sadistic but fun thing that was.

i almost puked on a dental hygenist once. She was making one of those molds for my retainer, when they inject that goo into your mouth and make you hold it there for a few minutes, and i gagged and almost threw up.

I have survived my first filling! I'm still numb at the moment from being frozen up good! Actually it wasn't that bad. The dentist was explaining everything as they carried out the work, and really made me feel quite relaxed - which is a first for me, let me assure you!

I don't have fear of the dentist, it's a mere annoyance. I've got an appointment coming up next week.
After suffering the worst treatment imaginable(root canal treatment a good few years back) at the dentist for roughly 1 and a 1/2 hours with an open mouth (rubber block inside mouth firmly in place nearly dislocating my jaw,being unable to properly swallow down the fluids that came pouring freely down my throat), and needing vaseline for my lips because they were bursting, I know 2 things:
1. Dustin Hoffman is a wuss (marathon man) and 2. that the next time he can just take out the damn tooth and be done with it. Not in the least because it's a money issue.
Thing is, I don't trust 'em anymore now that things have changed for the worse in our healthcare system. I always get the feeling he's the one producing them holes during the check-up's or that he's just doing a half-assed job so his "customer" will be sure to return for another expensive treatment and he can keep on raking in the $dough$.

Don't you ever get the feeling that he's using that hook to check your teeth with a little too firmly? Sometimes he's really janking it and then he goes: "Oh, yes I see, you've got one there!"
