face my fears

I have just had my last dentist apointment, I had the dreaded root canal! Dentist has definitely been my worst fear and facing it, and realising it wasn’t that bad, was a big thing for me. I think if I can go to the dentist, I can do almost anything! I am fearless!

the dentist today and it wasn’t that bad! Had my teeth cleaned, scaling and polish I think is what they call it. A bit uncomfortable, but not painful and I could even have my ipod on to drown the scary sounds. My second appointment is on Wednesday at 1.30pm; I’ll have a filling fixed (my ONLY filling and it has to wear out!) and possible ROOT CANAL! I pray the god I don’t need that, I’ve heard so many horror stories. Although my dentist says it won’t hurt, I shouldn’t feel a thing, but I am still really scared. I think I’ll take the valium this time…

I have my dentist appointment at 10.45am tomorrow (and another one on Wednesday), I am scared to death! I can’t sleep. I’m sure it’ll be ok and in the end it’ll be good because finally I get this out of the way and I won’t have a toothache anymore.
The dentist is VERY nice, I am glad I found her as she makes me feel very comfortable and I trust her. Plus she’s got special gel to make your gums numb and she can even give me valium if I need it, although I don’t think I’m THAT scared.

I went to the dentist today! I can’t believe I actually did it as that is one of my biggest fears, just the thought of having to go to the dentist makes me sweat and almost hyperventilate. I found a really nice dentist who specialises in people with dental phobia and the appointment went smoothly and didn’t hurt at all… well it was only a check up. I need to go back twice, for scaling and to have one filling done. I’ve booked the appointments for 21st and 23rd May.

To take this photo I had to get much closer to the birds than I would normally have wanted to and I wasn’t even scared at all! I’m v proud of myself!

...Including (but not limited to): Dentist, evil people, being lost in the woods, scary movies, most creatures with 4 legs (worst being rats), all creatures with wings, sky diving, scuba diving, sharks, snakes, ghosts, dark alley ways, waking up and realising I’m the last person on earth, aliens, getting hickups for 4 years (I saw it happen to a guy on tv once!), heights, caves, dangerous driving and so on and so on…
