They made me feel so good about this! I am not scared for the work that will need to be done.
Thanks for all of your encouragement, sundog! You're awesome.

Hi (((((alias))))) You're awesome too!!!!

Wow, it's really interesting to hear about conscious sedation. I was not familiar with that at all. Thanks for telling me about it! I'm sure my current dentist doesn't offer this, but I will for sure inquire about it next time he needs to refer me to an endodontist or anything of that nature
I'm so glad you have such a great dentist and that you're not anxious about the work that needs to be done. WELL DONE for making that appointment!!!!
