I've prepared as best as I could. I've taken the afternoon off work. I'll take some anti-nausea medication before I go. I think I'm more nervous for how I'll feel afterwards than the treatment itself. Last time I had to get something done to a tooth I felt so nauseous afterwards and it took ages for the numbness to wear off.
I'm glad I now go to a dentist office closer to home and can walk home afterwards.

4,5 hours to go and I'm having a hard time focusing on work. I know I should try, it's a good distraction.... But the physical symptoms from the anxiety are really bothering me
How many crowns do you have? I've had so many that it doesn't bother me so much anymore. The expense it the worst horror. I waited a long time before getting a new dentist after ditching my last one. His work was not good. I waited so long that I had so much decay in one tooth that it needed root canal. That's an extra $1000. So that ONE tooth was $2700!!!!!
