I needed a lot of work done and I opted to see a sedation dentist, so I could get more done at each visit. I had a total of four visits, plus an exam, and the staff was great. My initial exam was a little traumatic, only because we were discussing so much. Between the…
I don’t know what to do about my husband! He is scared of the dentist, but is so embarrassed about it that he simply refuses to go in. He has been complaining about this annoying toothache that wouldn’t go away. It has probably been months. So I finally convinced him to have it checked out.…
I have always been really nervous about going to the dentist. Even for a cleaning, I get really worked up. So much so, I have been known to cancel appointments at the last minute. Well, sadly it’s been a couple years now since I have been in and someone told me about sedation dentistry. I…

I am terrified of the dentist. When I say terrified, it means I lose sleep and cannot focus on anything in the days leading up to my dreaded appointment. I have even been known to call in right before the appointment and cancel. When I reschedule, I have even cancelled again. I hate it! I…
I am deathly afraid of needles and I have to get four teeth out tomorrow afternoon. I haven’t slept for two days and cannot fathom the thought of being stuck with a needle tomorrow. You probably think I’m crazy but I don’t care. The dentist recommended I wear a sleeping beauty mask so I can’t…
