Why, after the dentist promises me she is only going to LOOK at my cracked open molar, does she insist on having that probe in her hand while LOOKING? It totally triggered me. I'm not going back to her. I've been through so many dentists. They always end up losing patience with me because I'm so extremely phobic about any dental work.

As soon as we have the money, I'm thinking about getting dentures. I have a couple of bridges, many fillings and crowns, several over 30 years old - just have bad teeth. I really - REALLY - can't deal with any more poking, prodding, pain or drilling of my teeth. After all my teeth are pulled and healed, how bad can dentures really be???

Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure.
Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,
and if that makes you feel better feel free.
But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
