Hey, lilly! I wish you the best. I haven't gone back to the dentist in months, although part of that was because I was doing things for my mom before she passed, but also because I kept putting it off. I need to go for my hygienic, but even that, I'm just not up to going yet. I dread letting the dentistry resume, but I know it's for the best. However, I'm thinking of looking for another dentist. I like a lot of things about my current dentist (at least the office...modern equipment, a TV to focus on, etc.), but the pain thing is what gets me. Best of luck. Let us know how it goes.
