Hi,
Are you a dentist?

I've always wanted to do a research study on how much education dentists get about phobias while they're in school.

It seems most don't understand the definition of "phobia."

Well, I'm only 53, so I haven't seen EVERY dentist, but every one I've seen except one, was more annoyed than understanding about my weeping/need for novocaine/nitrous/etc.

But, it's nice to know there's a website out there. Maybe some dentists will look at it.

On a humorous note, saying "you'd rather be dead" to a person like me (depressive dysthymic with clinical episodes, who would rather be dead than alive, for the last 18 years) just struck me funny. lolol.
