It's Six Word Saturday time...
I survived going to the dentist!
This week I had my regularly scheduled cleaning and I didn't even need to take a Xanax this time. Progress! I'm getting more comfortable with my new dentist (this is the third time I've seen her for a cleaning). Don't get me wrong...I'd still rather go the gynecologist than the dentist. But, overall, my dental anxiety is in check. I'm not even going to think about the cavity that I need filled next month.

Glad you survived. I have MS, and when I go to the dentist, I have a diminished sensation of the Novocaine shot in other parts of my body. Wierd!
ReplyDeletethat is weird! In a cool weird sorta way :) Aren't our bodies so strange sometimes?
DeleteGood for you! Even though I worked in a dental office, I dread my appointments, too. I've read that one reason we dread dentists so much is that they are so close to our faces. Makes sense. Pretty hard to ignore someone probing the mouth.
ReplyDeleteI found you via @riverand's Stumbleupon party! Feel free to follow me there, too. I'm mentalmosaic on SU.

Hi Tui! I followed you on StumbleUpon...I'm very new to the SU thing and I'm still figuring it out.
DeleteFunny thing is that I used to love the dentist when I was little. It wasn't until I was 19 and couldn't go to my pediatric dentist anymore that I had a bad experience with a dentist. And when I say bad, I mean horrific. Long story short, he was supposed to fix a cavity...fast forward and I've had 2 root canals in that tooth before finally having it pulled last year. Ugh!
Don't tell my brother-in-law who is a dentist that I don't care for his line of work either.
ReplyDeleteThis is my funniest comment to date! LOL
DeleteHopefully your teeth are in a pretty good shape. Mine were not, so I had to get over those fears at a young age.
ReplyDeleteThey are in decent shape...all except the one that needed pulling!
DeleteGlad you survived…. The dentist doesn't bother me… But I freak before going to the girly dr...
ReplyDeleteMaybe we could switch brains for our dentist and gyno appointments? :)
