Hi alazay.
I know exactly how you feel! I have been terrified of the demon dentist for years. ( apologies go out to all you dentists out there!lol!)
I used to be put out for any treatment, then, here in the UK they banned most dentists from doing that.
I then had to take large doses of tranx to cope, (I have had a huge ammount of work done).
Now I am waiting to see an orthadontist to have some more treatment.
people just assume that we are just a little afraid of our dentists, well if that were true I wouldn't be sat here with toothache, again!
my advise is to do what you can to cope, meds, hypnotherapy, anasthetic!lol!
good luck to you! and please don't feel silly having this fear, after all they don't exactly do nice things to us do they?lol!

Oh Mate I am sooooo terrified of dentists too. I am 29 and have been about 4 times in my whole life. last time was 6 years back to get a teeny filling. I hate them(sorry dentists) I hate the idea of things going in my mouth which I can't control. It all started when I was a child and the dental nurse split my mouth with the clamps to hold it open. she was mean and nasty and didn't stop when I told her it hurt. so I thought all dentists are horrible people who love to hurt me.

I am terrified of hospitals too and dying. I have to get my wisdom teeth taken out soon but I am sooooo scared of it. I am also scared of the drugs to knock me out. So I know how you feel buddy.

you take care,
Lolly

Im teffified of the dentist too because of some traumatic surgery on my mouth i had when i was little. Now they have to sedate me to even do small capings or fillings.
