Welcome, Tylerdallas. and I think you and I must be twins separated at birth! You sound so much like me--I have "problem teeth" (to put it mildly, thanks to OCD!) and I am utterly petrified of the dentist. My dentist and hygienist have learned that no one gets anywhere near my mouth until I'm hooked up to the nitrous oxide aka "laughing gas"! And that's when they're only cleaning my teeth--totally routine stuff! So you can imagine how hysterical I get when anything more needs doing--they have to practically medicate me into a stupor in order to get me to sit still!! So please know (1) you are definitely not alone and (2) I totally sympathize--and I'm sure I'm far from the only one here who does! Dental phobia is extremely common and it is NOT FUN--but thank goodness dentists are finally realizing just how serious the problem is, so it's much, much easier these days to find dentists willing and able to help out ppl like us with a whole boatload of sedatives to get us thru those awful dental visits. (Just look up "sedation dentists" in your area--you'll be amazed at the number you'll find!) Hang in there, sending you warm hugs and best wishes from a fellow-sufferer!
